Pyrophyllite-bearing Clay in Clinton Deposit, Utah County, Utah

Category : Clay

Pages : 28
Book Description
With an estimated production of 3/4 million tons, the Clinton deposit west of Lehi in Utah County, Utah, has been and continues to be a major source of clay used in the manufacture of low duty refractories and structural clay products in the intermountain area. Usable clay is obtained from the weathered upper parts of steeply dipping shale beds in the Manning Canyon Shale of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian age. These shale beds are associated with quartzite and limestone beds that provided protection from rapid erosion. The refractory properties of the clay are due to the presence of pyrophyllite, a hydrous aluminum silicate, though the refractory character is enhanced by an unusual proportion of associated kaolin. The pyrophyllite probably was emplaced in the shale by hydrothermal solutions subsequent to diagenesis, possibly during or immediately subsequent to deformation. Weathering of the pyrophyllite-bearing shale has had the effect of removing deleterious carbonates and carbonaceous material, thereby enriching the content of refractory material.
The Geology of Kane County, Utah

Book Description
Kane County, with its 4105 square miles, lies along the south-central margin of Utah and is found in the western part of the Colorado Plateaus physiographic province. It is famous for scenic beauty displayed in its colorful rock formations and other geologic features such as faults, folds, arches, monoclines, joints, cross beds, cliffs, lava fields, and canyons. Kane County contains parts of Bryce and Zion National Parks, the Glen Canyon Recreation Area, and it is home to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes and Kodachrome Basin State Parks. The county area has had an interesting geologic history and important fossil finds have added much to our knowledge of world geology. The total value of the mineral production of Kane County, Utah through 1985 is estimated at $21,854,000, of which more than 95 percent is attributed to construction materials, mined or quarried to build and maintain highways. Sand and gravel, crushed stone, coal, gemstones, pumice and volcanic ash, manganese ore, gold, uranium, silver, copper and lead were or have been produced, with the most important current commodities being construction and gem materials. The annual rate of production of these items is erratic, but the value averages a few hundred thousand dollars annually. The production of the construction materials is dependent on the schedules of the Utah Department of Transportation and other road building agencies. Gem materials are mined intermittently to supply the tourist trade. Currently, there are no large, regularly producing mining operations in the county. Other mineral deposits reported in Kane County include titanium and zirconium, gypsum and anhydrite, limestone and dolomite, clay, and vanadium. About 29 tests for petroleum have thus far been drilled without significant success. However, many had interesting shows of oil and gas and the potential for discovery remains high. 192 pages + 10 plates
