SCARCE ITEM!!
This is USGS Professional Paper 604,
On Batholiths and Volcanoes - Intrusion and Eruption of Late Cenozoic Magmas in the Glacier Peak Area, North Cascades, Washington
. Published in 1969, this is a really nice item on the geology of this beautiful area. This 67-page book comes complete with the original map, which is a full size colorful geologic map showing many different geology units in varied colors. At the bottom of the map are some very nice cross sections that help bring the geology to life.
The map measures 23 x 28 inches. Glacier Peak, Disappointment Peak, and Gamma Ridge and many named glaciers are noted on the map. Suiattle River leave the map area to the northwest.
This is a great report, sure to be of interest to hikers, climbers, backpackers, and other visitors to this amazing area.
This is only the second of these I have ever offered in years of dealing in these kinds of items.
Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.

Among rock-forming minerals, the vesuvianite group is best known through the many colorful crystals collected at the Jeffrey quarry, in Asbestos, Canada. Spectacular finds in China and Pakistan have added interest in this mineral group. The detailed text begins with an explanation of the chemistry and taxonomy of the group and a discussion of ongoing research into problems such as color, structure, and optically anomalous crystals. A section on their formation and geochemistry explains the kinds of environments where vesuvianites are formed. Each mineral has a detailed entry for information on important localities. Over 90 full-color photos show what good specimens look like and which minerals to expect to find associated with vesuvianites. Anyone with a passion for minerals will find this book fascinating.
