INTRODUCTION

In graphic form, this report describes drill cores from ten shallow

holes drilled at Blacktail Mountain, Flathead County, Montana (fig. l).

Rocks described represent the sequence of alternating argillitic green

beds and argillitic purple beds which occur at the top of the Spokane

Formation of the Belt Supergroup of Proterozoic Y age (fig. 2).

The holes were drilled to obtain detailed information on the succes­

sion of rock types, environments of deposition, distribution of small

amounts of copper sulfides known to occur in the strata, and geochemical

and mineralogic properties of the strata. The geology of the drilling

Bite, geophysical data from the holes, and geochemical data for selected

cores have been summarized in companion reports (Harrison and Reynolds,

1979; 0'Connor and others, 1979; Domenico, 1979).

METHODS OF STUDY

Drill core examined for this report was slabbed through its center,

parallel to its long axis, to produce slabs about 8.8 cm wide. The core

is essentially continuous for the holes drilled. After slabbing the core

was first examined for megascopic properties, then examined microscopically

with a binocular microscope at magnifications ranging from about lOx to

^OOx, to identify other properties such as grain size, mineralogy, texture

and fabric, and small-scale bedding characteristics. Cut surfaces of the

core were moistened with water for examination; colors described are those

of the wet rock.

Identification of mineral grains and cement types was made visually

through the microscope or by using mechanical or chemical tests. To dis-

tinguish calcite from dolomite, 0.1 N hydrochloric acid, calibrated first

for reaction on carbonate rocks of known composition, was applied to

the dry rock surface. Estimates of the kind and quantity of carbonate

cement present were made by judging the relative speed and vigor of

effervescence of the minerals in the dilute acid. Grain-size and porosity

estimates were made through the binocular microscope by comparison to

commercially available standards.

Table 1 summarizes abbreviations used in the graphic descriptions.

Tables 2-7 summarize symbols and standards used on the graphic logs and

are arranged in their order of occurrence on log headings. Pages of

descriptions can be assembled in succession to form continuous strip logs

of the intervals cored.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Richard E. Van Loenen and David J. Lidke slabbed much of the core

described here. Captain Eugene Nadeau, Commander, Kalispell Air Force

Base, Montana, kindly permitted use of a building at the Base for core

slabbing and study while drilling was in progress. I am grateful to

Charles Curry and Donald Blair of the Engineering Office at the Base for

solving several technical problems in order to make handling and slabbing

the core more efficient. J. William Easier, U.S. Geological Survey, super­

vised the drilling. Jack E. Harrison, with intermittent help from Joan P.

Harrison, worked patiently at the drilling site to ensure that the core

was collected carefully, boxed in the correct sequence, and properly

labelled, thus minimizing difficulties in handling and logging during

examination.
