The controlling factors include l) the presenceof
a source of uranium (believed to be the underlying,
uranium-bearing solutions from the Morrison Formation), 2) the accessibilityto the Dakota Sandstone
of uranium-bearingsolutions from the Morrison
Formation, 3) the presence and favorable distribution of permeable host sandstone beds and impermeable carbonaceousshale beds in the Dakota Sandstone, and 4) the presencein host beds of a reductant
in the form of bedding-plane laminations and small
trash pockets of carbonaceousmaterial

Though this volume deals with the part of Arizona
farthest from New Mexico, much of the geology it
describes is related to or has significance in interpreting New Mexico's geology.
The book contains 16 articles dealing with the
geochronology, structural geology, stratigraphy,
aeromagnetics, areal geology, and geomorphology
of western Arizona. Of particular interest is a compilation of over 170 previously unpublished K-Ar
dates from southwestern Arizona and adjacent
areas, papers on Laramide thrusting in west-central
and southwestern Arizona, a paper on geochronology and listric normal faulting in the Vulture
Mountains, and papers on Precambrian geology of
the Bradshaw and Hualapai Mountains, including a
discussion of massive sulfide environments of the
west-central Hualapai Mountains. It also includes
the geologic road log for the 1979 Arizona
Geological Society spring field trip to the Yuma area
and contains an index of theses and dissertations
concerning Arizona geology done at the three
Arizona universitiesthrough December 1979.

Utah Geological Association, P.O. Box 11334, Salt
Lake City, Utah 84147, hard cover, $45.00 plus
$4.50 postage.
This volume focuseson the laccolithic structure of
this classic region. The principal papers by Charles
B. Hunt contain much of the information in his
long-out-of-print U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 228. About 25 other papers cover:
stratigraphy, principally the Triassic, Jurassic, and
Cretaceous Systems; fluvial processes; porphyry
weathering; archaeology; vegetation; mineral
deposits, especially uranium, vanadium and coal;
oil-impregnated sandstone; and petroleum geology.
A road log covers a 3-day field trip, and the volume
contains a colored geologic map in a pocket.
