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.

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.
