Bibliography of the Geology of the Green River Formation, 

Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, to March 1, 1973 

By Marjorie C. Mullens 

INTRODUCTION 

The Green River Formation in northwestern 

Colorado, northeastern Utah, and southwestern 

Wyoming contains thick and extensive deposits 

of oil shale. The richest oil-shale deposits underlie an area of 12,000 square kilometers ( 5,000 

sq mi) in the Piceance Creek and Uinta Basins 

in northwestern Colorado and northwestern 

Utah. Cashion and Donnell (1968) reported 

that these basins contain about 105 billion 

metric tons of oil in beds which are more than 

4.6 meters thick and which contain an average 

of 5. 7 percent of oil by weight. Considerably 

more oil is present in beds that contain less 

than 5.7 percent oil or are less than 4.6 meters 

thick in these basins and in other areas underlain by the Green River Formation. Duncan 

and Swanson ( 1965) estimated that the known 

recoverable and marginal resources of oil in 

the entire Green River Formation are about 

280 billion metric tons. In late 1972, however, 

none of the oil shale was being mined for oil 

on a commercial basis. 

The Green River Formation also contains 

gilsonite, bituminous sands, oil and gas, and 

sodium and aluminum minerals. Some of these 

minerals were being produced commercially in 

late 1972. 

This bibliography, which contains 597 references, was compiled to aid studies on the 

geology and resources of the Green River Formation. References included are mainly on the 

areal geology, stratigraphy, paleontology, geochemistry, and mineralogy of the Green River 

Formation, but some concern exploitation of 

the oil-shale deposits. 

1 

The bibliography is arranged in thre~~ parts: 

U.S. Geological Survey reports on the Green 

River Formation, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming; reports by U.S. Geological Survey authors on geology of the Green River Formation, 

Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, in non-U.S. 

Geological Survey publications; and selected 

reports by non-U.S. Geological Survey authors 

on the geology of the Green River FOI~mation, 

Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. The tvro parts 

by Geological Survey authors are as complete 

as possible but the other part incluc,es only 

selected references. In reports where mention 

of the Green River Formation is only incidental, 

brackets are used to indicate the pages pertinent to the Green River Formation.
