The Geology of Jewel Cave
Thompson JB. 1958. The Geology of Jewel Cave. Wind Cave Natural History Association, National Park Service
The publication of this booklet was accomplished to satisfy the need for a study into the geology of Jewel Cave in more detail than is found in the Monument's brochure. It is not a detailed technical bulletin but merely an outline of some of the geological phenomena associated with the development and formation along with the mineral decoration of this particular cavern; however, many of the other cave systems in this and other areas were formed under conditions similar to those described here.
