GEOLOGY of the LA HARPE and GOOD HOPE Quads, ILLINOIS Mineral Resources, History

Description

ONLY ONE AVAILABLE!
This is Illinois Geological Survey Extract from Bulletin 43,
Geology and Mineral Resources of the LaHarpe and Good Hope Quadrangles
.
Published in 1921, this 89-page book details the geology of this interesting region in western Illinois. Rocks range in age from Cambrian to Holocene and include many types. This comes with a nice color geologic map in the back pocket, as well as photos and illustrations in the text that really bring the geology to life. There is aeven a whole section of multiple pages discussing the geologic history of the region, so you can understand it as a story rather than simply a bunch of rock units described. Pretty cool! Of coarse there is focus on the coal beds as well, but
sphalerite
is also know from outcrops along a creek that is discussed.
Overall a good example of a scarce old report. The map has great, vintage coloring and would look nice framed. You’ll wait a long time before you see another of these on eBay!
Expert packing assured. Shipping weight is three pounds. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
