Subsurface Geochemical Exploration of Stratabound Copper in Lower Permian Redbeds in North-Central, Oklahoma

This thesis introduces an additional stratabound, redbed copper deposit to the growing list of Midcontinent occurrences.� This northcentral Oklahoma deposit has been defined in the shallow subsurface of Grant County through well-cuttings and electric logs. Paleoenvironmental considerations have been shown to be important in understanding the origin of this deposit. Furthermore, recent developments in low temperature geochemistry have been applied to study its origin.Geolog
