Morrison Formation, San Juan Basin (04)

Comments on Geologic Parameters

04 Net Sand Thickness:

The net-sand-thickness map of the Grants uranium district (Kirk and Condon, 1986) offers an approximation of the net sand for the Morrison Formation in that area that was gridded (c4morrison). We did not identify a net-sand map for the entire basin.
