The geologic transition, high plateaus to Great Basin: A symposium and field guide: The Mackin Volume (UGA-30)

Edited by: M. C. Erskin, J. E. Faulds, J. M. Bartley, and P. D. Rowley

The scope of papers included in this volume range from regional geophysical considerations of the western Plateau Transition zone, to detailed studies of the structure and timing of deformation of particular sectors of the Colorado Plateau margin. The variety of geological, geochemical and geophysical tools and their interpretations brought to bear on the problems related to the tectonic boundary of the Colorado Plateau is impressive. The papers found in this publication are listed below:
