Swegin Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I picked this book up this morning for $1.00. It was printed in 1904 one of the better geology books that I have read in a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Spurr's writings have helped me gain a better understanding of ore deposits. A good author if your into that kind of stuff. Root Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
