The lake is a repository of all inorganic materials both suspended and dissolved that are carried by the streams flowing into the lake. Some of the salts are concentrated by several orders of magnitude in the lake over the natural concentration in the inflowing streams. It is the objective of this paper to determine if several heavy metals, specifically copper, zinc, cadmium, mercury, lead, and arsenic are also concentrating in the lake and to determine the behavior of these metals in the lake. A major obstacle to the study was the difficulty in analyzing the trace elements in the concentrated lake brines due to interference from the salts in the water. Methods for analyzing trace elements in brines were developed and are explained in detail in the paper. It was found that the concentrations of both total and dissolved metals in the lake are very low, and in the case of copper, zinc, and cadmium, are lower than the concentrations in the inflowing streams. It appears that the metals are precipitating along with clays, organics, and carbonates into the bottom sediments of the lake where anaerobic bacterial action is immobilizing the metals.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"173 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124393212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

North-trending faults are present in the foothills of the Mineral Range. Another conspicuous north-trending fault, the Dome fault, offsets Pleistocene(?) siliceous hot-spring deposits. Roosevelt Hot Springs, which no longer flow, were near the Dome fault. North and northeast-trending faults that produced small displacements in the alluvial fan surface were mapped in the central and western parts of the Roosevelt area. East-trending faults may also be present. Temperature gradients as high as 26.8°F per 100 feet have been reported. Steam was discharged from one well in 1968 and from another in 1975. The silica geothermometer and the sodium-potassium-calcium geothermometer were applied to published analyses of Roosevelt Hot Springs water; the silica geothermometer indicated reservoir temperatures of 210° and 195°C, and the Na-K-Ca geothermometer gave temperatures of 298° and 292°C.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125966534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Pleistocene Bishop ash, Pearlette type 0 ash, Mazama ash, and several local ashes have been identified in Utah. The value of these extensive ash layers as stratigraphic markers depends on the ability to distinguish between them. Techniques employed to distinguish the ashes are discussed with emphasis on using the chemical composition of the volcanic glass shards. The major element chemistry of the glass portion of these ashes is presented together with that of other Cascade ashes and the Green Mountain Reservoir ash. It is noted that in the concentrations of major elements these ashes are all chemically similar to rhyolite, and only titanium, calcium, and iron are useful in separating the ash layers. The trace element con ten t (titanium, barium, manganese, iron, chlorine, rubidium, yttrium, zirconium, strontium, and niobium) of these ashes is more conclusive in identifying the ash layers. Some heretofore undescribed ashes from the east flank of the Oquirrh Mountains are not chemically similar to any other well characterized Pleistocene ash and are chemically distinct from Tertiary ashes occurring in the Salt Lake Group of the Bonneville Basin as well.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132333395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
