Introduction to the petroleum geology of the Olympic Coast of Washington and adjacent portions of the continental shelf: a road log
Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources. 1988. Introduction to the petroleum geology of the Olympic Coast of Washington and adjacent portions of the continental shelf: a road log. Northwest Petroleum Association
From the Introduction: "This field trip is designed to introduce geologists to the structure and stratigraphy of the westernmost Olympic Peninsula between Grays Harbor and Cape Alava (Figure 1). The emphasis of the guide is the petroleum-related aspects of the area but, all of the geology along the route is noted. Stucture and stratigraphy observed along this route reflect the complex accretionary tectonics of coastal Washington and Oregon (Figure2). Much of this geology is poorly understood and little is favoable for petroleum accumulation. However, some of the reservoir and maturation data are surprisingly favoable. Much of this geology can be correlated with structure and stratigraphy on the Washington Outer Continental Shelf ...."
