    Description

    FEW LEFT!!!
    This is USGS Bulletin 1081-E,
    Geology of the Lloyd Quadrangle, Bearpaw Mountains, Blaine County, Montana
    . Published in 1961, this is a pretty scarce item. This publication documents the geology of this interesting area. It consists of the 30-page book and a huge full color geologic map covering about 200 square miles of mountainous country and some of the adjacent plains. This area has quite complex geology of faulted sedimentary rocks plus intrusive and volcanic igneous rocks. The igneous rocks are an odd mixture of alkalic rocks with weird names like shonkinite, syenite, porphyritic syenite, and latite. They are part of a large group of similar rocks, all introduced during the Eocene.
    Numerous prospects in the area were investigated for various metals. The text mentions some of the minerals found, including
    Argentiferous galena
    Pyrite
    Pyrrhotite
    Chalcopyrite
    Sphalerite
    Molybdenite
    Quartz
    Calcite
    Barite
    A mine called the O'Hanlon mine is mentioned, and the location is given with good precision.
    Some placer gold is also known in the area!
    The report covers the geology in great depth. Every formation is described completely, and the map has several nice cross sections on it that make the geology really come alive.
