    Description

    Here is a nice collection of reports on the Phosphoria formation in Wyoming and Montana, plus a report on coal in Montana, totaling five in all. Altogether there are 144 pages of text here, plus one map in this set. For one low price! From oldest to newest, they are:
    USGS Circular 53,
    “Coal Resources of Montana.”
    Published in 1949. Discusses numerous regions in the state. Some of these areas are historical producers, so I’ll list them here:
    Fort Union
    Garfield County
    Bull Mountain
    Great Falls and Lewistown
    Bearpaw Mountains
    Blackfeet-Valier
    Bridger and Silvertip
    Stillwater
    Red lodge
    Electric
    Livingston-Trail creek
    Lombard
    Flathead
    USGS Circular 209,
    “Stratigraphic Sections of the Phosphoria Formation in Montana, 1947-1948.”
    Published in 1953 this 31-page book comes complete with the LARGE FOLDOUT MAP. It discusses the occurrence of this important formation that has been mined for phosphate in many places. Discusses all the members of the formation, not just the phosphate-bearing ones.
    USGS Circular 260,
    “Stratigraphic Sections of the Phosphoria Formation in Montana, 1948.”
    Published in 1953 this 39-page book is much like the other one described above. It discusses the occurrence of this important formation that has been mined for phosphate in many places. Discusses all the members of the formation, not just the phosphate-bearing ones.
    USGS Circulars 324 and 325,
    “Stratigraphic Sections of the Phosphoria Formation in Wyoming, 1951”
    and
    “Stratigraphic Sections of the Phosphoria Formation in Wyoming, 1952.”
    These were both published in 1954. These short books discuss the features of this widespread and important formation in various areas of Wyoming. These books are 22 and 24 pages long. The Phosphoria formation is probably North America’s largest single resource of phosphorous rock and has been mined at several places for phosphate. It is a regionally extensive Permian formation present in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
