Abstract:
In the past few years, largely because of increased freight rates,
a keen interest in finding sources of high-silica sand has developed.
The Geological Survey has received many inquiries about possible
sources of high-silica sand in the state. Although published information
on the geology of the formations that may contain high-silica
sand has been available, economic information, such as quality, distribution,
extent, and accessibility, has not been available.
