USGS Circular 615, “Some Shorter Mineral Investigations in Alaska.”
Published in 1969, this
25-page book
contains five articles on mineral deposits and related topics for locations in Alaska. The
articles
cover occurrences of nickel, molybdenum, silver, gold, mercury, lead and copper. Each artcle has a summary abstract and most have figures and maps. This is not heavy science, but rather very readable geology that makes this a nice book on mineral deposits in Alaska and a good addition to any library on the geology of Alaska. Photo 5.

Published in 1973, this
56-page book

The 1972 results (pages 39-49) include 27 articles on the geology, minerals, fossils, and geologic history of Alaska (that’s actually a short list of the topics covered in these articles.) It all makes for interesting reading and would make a great addition to any library on the geology of Alaska. Photos 6-7.

The 1973 results make up nearly half of the book (pages 32-59) and includes over 50 articles on the geology, minerals, fossils, and geologic history of Alaska (that’s actually a short list of the topics covered in these articles.) It all makes for interesting reading and would make a great addition to any library on the geology of Alaska. Photo 8-9.

Expert packing assured. Shipping weight is two 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.
