Rowe JJ, Fournier RO, Morey GW. 1973. Chemical analysis of thermal waters in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, 1960-65. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bulletin. 1303. US Government Printing office. Washington, D.C.
Analytical results for 166 samples collected during 1960-65 from 89 geysers, pools, and hot springs are compiled together with previous analyses to provide a comprehensive collection of available analytical data on the thermal waters of Yellows·tone National Park, Wyo. These data permit further study of the variation of composition with time or geologic occurrences. Data are presented for pH, temperature, silica, aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonia, bicarbonate, carbonate, sulfate, chloride, fluoride, boron, arsenic, and the semiquantitative spectrographic analysis of residues from evaporation of some of the waters. The chemical characteristics of waters from various localities in Yellowstone are graphically compared and discussed.
