Orogenic patterns and stratigraphy of north-central Utah and southeastern Idaho (UGA-14)

Edited by: G. J. Kerns and R. L. Kerns Jr.

It was 1953 when the Intermountain Association of Petroleum Geologists, one of the predecessors of the Utah Geological Association, conducted their fourth annual field conference through the north-central Utah and southeastern Idaho and produced a guidebook. Since then, numerous investigators have been added to and refined the work of those pioneering geologists, increasing the understanding of the complex geology of the area. This publication details those investigations. The papers included are listed below:
