Extractions: Oregon Sunstone COLLECTING ROCKS IN THE NORTHWEST A wide variety of rocks, minerals and semi-precious gemstones is available for collecting on public land in Oregon and Washington. Most BLM and USFS lands are open to rock collecting. Some areas, such as Glass Buttes obsidian area and a public sunstone area in the BLM Lakeview District, have been specifically set aside for this purpose. Collectors should note that there are some restrictions and a permit may be required, depending on the amount of material you collect, how you collect it, where you collect, and whether the material will be used commercially.

Extractions: Outdoor Recreation A cave is a natural opening in the ground extending beyond the zone of light and large enough to permit the entry of man. Occurring in a wide variety of rock types and caused by widely differing geological processes, caves range in size from single small rooms to interconnecting passages many miles long. The scientific study of caves is called speleology (from the Greek words spelaion for cave and logos for study). It is a composite science based on geology, hydrology, biology, and archaeology, and thus holds special interest for earth scientists of the U.S. Geological Survey. Solution caves are formed in carbonate and sulfate rocks such as limestone, dolomite, marble, and gypsum by the action of slowly moving ground water that dissolves the rock to form tunnels, irregular passages, and even large caverns along joints and bedding planes. Most of the caves in the world-as well as the largest-are of this type.

This stone is quarried just southeast of Winnipeg, the capital city of Manitoba. These sea bed muds were still soft 445 million years ago (late Ordovician), and were home to innumerable burrowing shrimp (Callianasea). They lived in the brown dolomitic burrows, in the buff-coloured limestone, and they had many neighbours including cephalopods, corals, spnonges, crinoids, trilobites, brachiopods, clams and algae. A shallow warm sea at the time enabled these animals to thrive. Chalcopyrite in heterolithic breccia, central British Columbia.
Mining And Rock Hounding Mining and rock hounding. The oldest known rock in the world is located north of Yellowknife,but you Heck, if you like geology, you'll probably like Yellowknife http://www.csc.uvic.ca/~csmacoop/wtreports/indianandnorthernaffairs/yellowknife/
Extractions: Yellowknife was built on gold, and the economy is still strongly linked to the metals market. There are two gold mines within city limits, Con mine and Giant mine, which still provide many jobs to the people living here. There was a gold boom during the 1980's, with the price of gold reaching $600 US an ounce, and during this time the mines flourished. Gold prices as they are these days (around $250 US an ounce) have caused a slump for Con and Giant, forcing them to run at reduced production and with minimal crews. At the same time however, diamond exploration has taken hold, and the first new diamond mine has opened 300 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife. DIAND plays a big part in resource management. You'll find that several floors of the Bellanca building where you'll be working are dedicated to exploration and resource management. DIAND performs mapping and exploration services, and releases reports for public use. Much of the Northwest Territories remains unexplored to this day, which is why many individuals and private companies continue to stake claims and map remote regions on foot and by plane. Recent discoveries of kimberlite deposits have revealed gemstone quality diamonds, and this has paved the way for new industries in the North. Diamond exploration is a growing business, and has attracted some of the biggest diamond companies in the world. For more information on diamond mining in the Northwest Territories, check out InfoNorth's diamond pages All of this isn't limited to big organizations however. The lure of gold can be strong, and with so much to be found in the North, many people try their hand at prospecting. Licenses can be purchased for $5.00 from the Mining Recorder's Office, which is conveniently located on the fifth floor of the Bellanca building. Rock hammers and chisels are a little more expensive ($40 - $60 for a hammer), but you can justify that expense to yourself later, when you strike it rich. Just be careful you're not on someone else's claim.
Extractions: Gold Panning In most cases, stream-bed (placer) gold does not exist in sufficient quantity to constitute economically recoverable deposits. Usually no more than a few cents worth of gold can be panned in an hour; however, there's always a chance of finding a stray nugget or odd pocket of finer gold. Recreational panning for gold in most stream beds is allowed. Special permission, permits, or fees are not required as long as significant stream disturbance does not occur and when only a shovel and a pan are used. In-stream sluices and suction dredges are NOT allowed. Mineral rights on some national forest land may be privately owned. After deciding which stream or general area in which you want to pan, contact that area's Forest Service District Ranger office to determine if the mineral rights are public or privately owned, and whether any restrictions have been placed on the stream. If the mineral rights are privately owned, panners should obtain written permission from the owner before they start panning.

CAMPBELL Forest Supervisor TITLE 2800 - MINERALS AND GEOLOGY 2802 - Forest Service Policy. The collection of rocks, minerals, fossils, and semi-precious gemstones and crystals for non-commercial purposes by hobbyists collectively known as "rock hounds", is an important outdoor recreational activity in the nation today from the standpoint of number of participants, investment in equipment and supplies, impact on local economics, and frequency of use of the National Forests and public lands. "Rock hounds" represent a broad cross-section of the American public without regard to age, sex, ethnic background, educational advantage, or economic condition. The benefits are educational, scientific, social, and opportunity for creativity. Other than the collection aspect, rock hounds variously engage in the study of geology and mineralogy, assembly of collections, trading of specimens, incidental buying and selling, cutting and polishing, and the making of jewelry and art objects.

Geology: Upper Kinni These rocks, called erratics, make for good rock hounding, and bright eyed collectors Thegeology professors at UWRF are happy to help you identify rocks http://www.lambcom.net/krlt/GeologyOfTheUpperKinni.html
Extractions: The Geology of the Upper Kinnickinnic* William S. Cordua, Department of Plant and Earth Science University of Wisconsin, River Falls The many geological features we can see in the valley - the bedrock in the bluffs, the sands and gravels along the river banks and the boulders on the hilltops-all reveal parts of the earth's long history. The earliest event recorded here is the deposition of the bedrock that underlies the river channel and the bluffs. This occurred about 450 million years ago. At that time, Wisconsin was covered by a warm shallow sea, just south of the equator, thanks to the slow "drifting" of the continents as they ride on the earth's tectonic plates. The bedrock consists of 5 different formations. The lowest one is a lime- stone formation called the Prairie du Chien Group. This is easiest to see along the canyon walls in River Falls, but scattered outcrops of this rock can be found here and there further north. This is overlain by a white sandstone called the St. Peter Formation. Even though this is a very soft rock, it does outcrop along the slopes of the bluffs and is well exposed in roadcuts such as those along the River Falls bypass. This is overlain by a thin unit called the Glenwood Shale, a soft grayish- green clayey rock mixed with sand- stone. About the only place to see this rock is in new roadcuts. On top of the Glenwood is the Platteville Formation, a durable lime- stone that caps most of the bluffs around here. Slabs of this rock contain fossil shellfish, snails, and corals. Most of the quarries near the up- per Kinni are in this formation. It is often used as crushed stone, decorative stone or even for walls and foundation as "flag stone." On top of the Platteville rests the Decorah Formation, a dark gray shale with lenses of limestone. When it breaks down, the Decorah makes very heavy, clay soils. This limestone also has a lot of fossil shellfish in it. Most of the known Decorah outcrops are along roadcuts east of River Falls. To the north it is largely covered by the more recent glacial debris.
