A Report on the Geology of Devils Tower National Monument

Effinger WL. 1934. A Report on the Geology of Devils Tower National Monument. Field Division of Education. Berkeley, CA

This report presents the results of a search of geological literature for important information concerning the character, structure, field relations, petrography, geological history, and theories as to the origin of Devils Tower. Much of the material presented is in the form of abstracts. Frequent references are made to original sources of information, and a bibliography of the more important literature dealing with the subject accompanies the report. Special emphasis has been placed on information which might be used in developing a museum story of this monument. Extensive use was made of the Matthew Library, the Geology Library, and the Main Library of the University of California. Members of the faculty of the Geology Department of the University of California have been consulted concerning the more dubious phases of the subject.
