137 Composition and origin of the Uinta Basin bitumens1963-01The names of the three formations of interest, from oldest to youngest, the Wasatch, Green River, and Uinta, have been used largely as facies terms to differentiate sediments which were believed to be of different age but actually were deposited simultaneously. The Wasatch is predominantly fluviatil...
138 Geologic summary report of the Sunnyside Tar Sands project, Carbon County, Utah1981-02-04geologic summary report; Sunnyside Tar Sands project; tar sandsThe project area is located in the southwest portion of the Uinta Basin, near the northeast portion of the San Rafael Swell and localized within a small delta complex that formed in Lake Uinta during early Tertiary.
