  • Pipestone National Monument Geologic Resources Inventory Report
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Pipestone National Monument Geologic Resources Inventory Report Natural Resource Report NPS/NRSS/GRD/NRR—2017/1512 George Catlin wrote of his journey to Pipestone: “For many miles we had the Coteau in view in the distance before us, which looked like a blue cloud settling down in the horizon . On the very top of this mound or ridge, we found the far-famed quarry or fountain of the Red Pipe, which is truly an anomaly in nature. The principal and most striking feature of this place, is a perpendicular wall of close-grained, compact quartz, of twenty-five and thirty feet in elevation, running nearly North and South with its face to the West, exhibiting a front of nearly two miles in length, when it disappears at both ends by running under the prairie . At the base of this wall there is a level prairie, of half a mile in width, running parallel to it; in any and all parts of which, the Indians procure the red stone for their pipes, by digging through the soil and several slaty layers of the red stone, to the depth of four or five feet. From the very numerous marks of ancient and modern diggings or excavations, it would appear that this place has been for many centuries resorted to for the red stone; and from the great number of graves and remains of ancient fortifications in its vicinity, it would seem, as well as from their actual traditions, that the Indian tribes have long held this place in high superstitious estimation; and also that it has been the resort of different tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimages here to renew their pipes.” (Quote from the Smithsonian website below, citing Truettner 1979 and Gurney and Heyman 2002) ON THE COVER George Catlin’s 1836 painting Pipestone Quarry on the Coteau des Prairies.

Tertell Environmental Conservation Library Minneapolis Public Library and Information Center 300 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, Minnesota' 55401 November 24, 1980 CONTENTS Introduction i Report Organization if Subject Index 1 Author Index 68 Abbreviations 72 INTRODUCTION The Minnesota Regional Copper-Nickel Study is a comprehensive examination of the potential cumulative environmental, social and economic impacts of copper-nickel development in northeastern Minnesota. It was conducted from 1976 through 1978 by a special study team assembled by the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board. Funding for the study was provided by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources. This index is intended to be a guide to this wide-ranging and detailed study, which encompasses approximately 3,790 pages in 5 volumes totalling 36 chapters. The index is detailed and comprehen­ sive. Efforts have been made to standardize terminology where this is possible, and there are liberal cross-references. The reader also is encouraged to make use of the tables of contents included in each of the chapters, since these show more readily the hierarchical organization of the subject areas covered in the study. Each chapter of volumes 2-5 was published separately, with sep­ arate paging. For this reason each index entry

Box 25287 Denver, Colorado 80225 June 2007 U.S. Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. The Natural Resource Publication series addresses natural resource topics that are of interest and applicability to a broad readership in the National Park Service and to others in the management of natural resources, including the scientific community, the public, and the NPS conservation and environmental constituencies. Manuscripts are peer- reviewed to ensure that the information is scientifically credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and is designed and published in a professional manner. Natural Resource Reports are the designated medium for disseminating high priority, current natural resource management information with managerial application. The series targets a general, diverse audience, and may contain NPS policy considerations or address sensitive issues of management applicability. Examples of the diverse array of reports published in this series include vital signs monitoring plans; "how to" resource management papers; proceedings of resource management workshops or conferences; annual reports of resource programs or divisions of the Natural Resource Program Center; resource action plans; fact sheets; and regularly- published newsletters.

  • Abstract Table of Contents
    Geology and Precious Metal Mineralization shear zones and banded iron formation. The dominant gangue mineral in the veins is quartz, typically with of the Fire Center and Holyoke Mines Area, minor amounts of sericite and carbonate. Locally, Marquette County, Michigan sericite and chlorite are present in major amounts. The main sulfide mineral is pyrite, with local high by concentrations of galena and sphalerite, and minor E. O. Owens and T. J. Bornhorst chalcopyrite. Gold and silver analyses yielded 1985 anomalous values for both metals in several samples. Additional sampling should be taken to further evaluate Michigan Geological Survey the economic potential of this area.

  • Mercury (Hg) Mineral Evolution: a Mineralogical Record of Supercontinent Assembly, Changing Ocean Geochemistry, and the Emerging Terrestrial Biosphere

ABSTRACT Analyses of the temporal and geographic distribution of earliest recorded appearances of the 88 IMA-approved mercury minerals plus two potentially valid species exemplify principles of mineral evolution. Metacinnabar (HgS) and native Hg are the only two species reported from meteorites, specifically, the primitive H3 Tieschitz chondrite with an age of 4550 Ma. Since the first terrestrial appearance of cinnabar more than 3 billion years ago, mercury minerals have been present continu- ously at or near Earth’s surface. Mercury mineral evolution is characterized by episodic deposition and diversification, perhaps associated with the supercontinent cycle. We observe statistically significant increases in the number of reported Hg mineral localities and new Hg species at ~2.8–2.6, ~1.9–1.8, and ~0.43–0.25 Ga— intervals that correlate with episodes of presumed supercontinent assembly and associated orogenies of Kenorland (Superia), Columbia (Nuna), and Pangea, respectively.
