Evaluation of near-infrared spectra for detecting ammonium minerals at Shoshone Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Krohn MD. 1993. Evaluation of near-infrared spectra for detecting ammonium minerals at Shoshone Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 93-293. US Geological Survey, US Department of the Interior. Washington, DC
Samples were collected from the Shoshone Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park to test for the presence of ammonium minerals. Eight samples were collected during a reconnaissance hike to the roadless area in early November, 1992 by Rick Hutchinson of the National Park Service. The presence of ammonium minerals at the geyser basin would allow for a better understanding of how the cation fits into a large active hot spring/geyser area.
