    Description

    ODDLY SCARCE ITEM FOR SOME REASON. I JUST DON"T SEE THESE VERY MUCH.
    This is USGS Bulletin 936-F, “
    Quicksilver Deposits of the Parkfield District, California
    ”. Published in 1942, this is a scarce item. This 27-page book is in great condition and comes complete with ALL FOUR OF THE ORIGINAL MAPS! Three of the maps are foldout maps bound into the book. The fourth comes in a pocket in the back of the book. Two are color maps.
    This report documents not only the many productive mercury mines of the area, but also describes some chromite, manganese and antimony deposits as well. Among the minerals found in this area are:
    Cinnabar
    Metacinnabar
    Native Mercury
    Eglestonite
    Terlinguaite
    Ankerite
    Dolomite
    Aragonite
    Pyrite
    Gypsum
    Epsomite
    Sulfur
    Barite
    Wad
    Magnesite
    Chromite
    Chalcopyrite
    Chalcocite
    Native Copper
    Numerous mines are described in the book and located on the maps, including:
    Patriquin mine
    G.W.D. mine
    Poppy mine
    Gillette prospect
    Sommer’s prospect
    Kings mine
    Dawson mine
    White mine
    Rattlesnake prospect
    Each of these sites is described in the text. This would make a great guide for the mineral collector, historian or anyone else that wants to give this area a shot. It's great to find it complete with everything.
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
