Southern Tertiary Oil Trend

Quaternary unconsolidated deposits cover the southwestern two-thirds of the quadrangle

The Pilot Peak quadrangle straddles the Utah-Nevada border in northwestern Utah and northeastern Nevada

laterally and vertically extensive veins in the Uinta Basin of Utah and Colorado

a better understanding of ground-water flow at the Gunlock Fault is needed

Microbial Carbonate Reservoirs and Analogs from Utah (SS-168) Astronomy Southern Tertiary Oil Trendby Thomas C. Chidsey, Jr., David E. Eby, Michael D. Vanden Berg, and Douglas A. Sprinkel Microbial carbonates are geologically and economically important deposits, acting as hydrocarbon reservoirs in several areas including deepwater offshore Brazil and Angola, South Oman Salt Basin, Caspian Basin of Kazakhstan, and Williston Basin of North America. Utah contains unique analogs of microbial hydrocarbon reservoirs in the modern hypersaline Great Salt
