Description
This report is about the geology and mineral resources of Greene County, located in the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania. It includes an illustrated text and three plates. The text starts with an introduction, which is followed by sections on surface features, surface rocks, geologic structure, historical geology, mineral resources, and water. The mineral resource section devotes many pages to the fuel resources (coal, and oil and gas), but also covers the nonfuel resources (limestone, sandstone, clay, shale, glass sand, sand and gravel, iron carbonate). Plate 1 is a 1:62,500-scale geologic map showing the Permian and Pennsylvanian bedrock units that outcrop at the surface of the county. Plate 2 shows oil and wells, structure contours (on the Pittsburgh coal), and coal outcrops (also at 1:62,500 scale). Plate 3 is a smaller scale map of the major oil and gas pipelines; it was compiled in 1928.
