Nugget Sandstone of Jurassic(?) and Triassic(?) age, showing chalcopyrite (cp) associated with bituminous material (B). Ore minerals may follow a fossil oil-water contact. Exposures by reflected light and by light transmitted through crossed polars; sample CU-28D. Lincoln County, Wyoming. n.d. Published as figure 7 in the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 907-C. 1976.

Quartzite from the Revett Formation. Exposures by reflected light and by light transmitted through crossed polars. A, Chalcocite (cc) and bornite (bn) interlocked with quartz (Q) and feldspar grains; the relation between sulfide and framework grains probably is a result of low-grade metamorphism. Sample CU-32C; Beecher Peak area. Sanders County, Montana. n.d. Published as figure 14A in the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 907-C. 1976.
