Lindgren, Waldemar The Tertiary Gravels of the Sierra Nevada Washington Government Printing Office 1911, First edition. Professional Paper 73 of the U.S.G.S. Quarto. 226pp. 28 plates of photographs and maps (some folding, some in color, 2 in rear pocket), 16 text illustrations. Index. Newly bound in dark brown cloth, gilt-lettered spine. A very fine copy. One of the great classics of geological literature and quite rare. Next to J.D. Whitney's classic paper on the auriferous gravels of the Sierra Nevada, this is the best work on the remnant gravels of the Tertiary and those buried beneath the lava flows. Generally, each chapter covers a different quadrangle of the Sierra Nevada. This work treats topography, geology, gravel deposits, fossils, gold (its nature, size, occurrences, associated minerals, and mining methods), and detailed descriptions of the mines. A valuable reference. Price: USD 425.00 other currencies   order no. 5137    inquire
