Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the geological intricacies and historical significance of a renowned 19th-century mining district. Situated against the backdrop of the American West's mining boom, the author meticulously examines the geological formations, mineral composition, and structural features of this iconic lode. Through detailed analysis and scientific observation, the author challenges existing theories and proposes groundbreaking interpretations of the region's geological history. The book explores the complexities of faulting, rock decomposition, and the origins of ore deposits, offering valuable insights into the formation and evolution of mineral-rich regions. Central to the book's exploration is the concept of lateral secretion, a theory suggesting that the lode's precious metals originated from the surrounding rock formations rather than from deep-seated sources. The author presents compelling evidence supporting this hypothesis, shedding light on the intricate relationship between geological processes and the concentration of valuable minerals. This book stands as a testament to the scientific curiosity and meticulous research that characterized the geological exploration of the American West, offering enduring insights into the formation of one of the most celebrated mining districts in history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
