From abstract: The McCullough Peaks Wilderness Study Area (WY-010-335) is located near the western edge of the Bighorn Basin, Park County, Wyoming. The area is about 10 miles northeast of Cody. Mineral and energy resource assessment of the McCullough Peaks Wilderness Study Area indicates a total of 52 million tons of measured and indicated subbituminous coal resources.

From abstract: This report briefly describes the geology and mineral resources of the Randolph quadrangle, which covers an area of 892 square miles in northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming.

From introduction: This report presents an evaluation of the mineral endowment (identified resources and mineral resource potential) of the study area and is the product of several separate studies by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Identified resources are classified according to a modification of the system described by McKelvey (1972) and the USBM and USGS (1980), which is shown in the Appendix. Identified resources are studied by the USBM. Mineral resource potential is the likelihood of occurrence of undiscovered metals and nonmetals, industrial rocks and minerals, and of undiscovered energy sources (coal, oil, gas, oil shale, tar, and geothermal sources). It is classified according to the system of Goudarzi (1984) and is shown in the Appendix. Undiscovered resources are studied by the USGS.

This is a map of the mineral resource potential of the Oregon Buttes Wilderness Study Area, Sweetwater County, Wyoming.

Abstract: The Bobcat Draw (WY-010-126) Wilderness Study Area includes about 17,150 acres and is located about 45 mi (miles) by road west of Worland in the Bighorn basin. The arid landscape comprises treeless uplands drained by intermittent streams. No identified resources are in the Bobcat Draw Wilderness Study Area. Most of the area is currently under lease for oil and gas. The study area has a high potential for resources of oil and gas and a high potential for subeconomic resources of deeply buried coal. The potential for a deep-seated geothermal energy resource is moderate. The resource potential for oil shale and metals, including uranium, is low.

From summary: In this report the area studied is referred to as the "wilderness study area" or the "study area". Investigations of mineral occurrences in and near the wilderness study area during 1984 and 1985 indicated high mineral resource potential for undiscovered deposits of coal, moderate potential of oil shale and natural gas, low potential for oil, and identified resources of claystone, shale, and sand.

From abstract: This report concerns the resource extraction potential for the Adobe Town Wilderness Study Area. There are no identified resources in the study area.

From abstract: This report concerns the resource extraction potential of the Raymond Mountain Wilderness Study Area, which has no identified (known) mineral or energy resources.

From summary: This report includes field investigations to evaluate the mineral resource potential of the Honeycomb Buttes were conducted during the summer of 1984. Geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, stratigraphic and sedimentological studies, and surveys of prospects delineated areas of very low grade placer gold deposits in terrace gravels and low and moderate resource potential for additional similar undiscovered placer gold deposits, low and moderate resource potential for small uranium deposits, moderate resource potential for accumulation of oil and gas, and low resource potential for coal and oil shale.

From abstract: This report is on an investigation of the Buffalo Hump and Sand Dunes Addition Wilderness Study Areas for the purpose determining the resource extraction potential.

From introduction: This report determines the geographic distribution and thickness of the bituminous shale, or oil shale, or tar shale of the Green River formation of the Uinta Basin in Colorado and Utah.

From abstract: This report contains complete Bouguer anomaly, isostatic residual anomaly, and horizontal gradient anomaly gravity maps of the Powder River Basin and surrounding areas in southeastern Montana, northeastern Wyoming, and western South Dakota were compiled using gravity data from 21,528 stations. A total-intensity anomaly aeromagnetic map with 3 mile spaced east-west flight-lines is also presented. Also included is an analysis of these maps and data, focusing on gravity and aeromagnetic studies.

A report which examines the sedimentary rocks deposited along a segment of the west coast of the interior seaway of North America in southwest Wyoming during the late Santonian and early Campanian subages of the Late Cretaceous Epoch.

From abstract: This report is a study on the history of sedimentology and deposition of the lower Paleocene Tullock Member of the Fort Union Formation, Powder River Basin, Wyoming and Montana while looking at the geometry and sedimentary structures.

From abstract: The uppermost Cretaceous Lance Formation was studied in the Powder River Basin and nearby basins of Wyoming and Montana. The Lance Formation is overlain by the continental Paleocene Fort Union Formation. This report is a petrography and stratigraphy study on these basins.

From abstract: This report describes Cambrian through Mississippian rocks in the Powder River Basin representing five depositional sequences that reflect both the biological evolution and the tectonic development of western North America.

The following report analyzes geological studies on surficial deposits in the Sheridan quadrangle of Wyoming and Montana.
