"Geologic investigations in the Slick Rock District, San Miguel and Dolores Counties, Colorado."

"Folding and fracturing of Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary strata were sporadic, but interrelated, occurred during and after deposition of the rocks. Interpretation of the influence of folds and fractures upon epigenetic alteration clarifies the time and manner of formation of the uranium-vanadium deposits."
