5 Gilsonite and related hydrocarbons of the Uinta Basin, Utah1949glisonite; hydrocarbons; Uinta Basin; kerogen; bitumenHydrocarbons are important in the present study for two reasons: ( 1) An understanding of their nature and origin may lead to a better understanding of the oil possibilities in the area. (2) From gilsonite, kerogen, and associated bituminous substances there may be fractionated many still-undiscover...
