Hydrocarbon and mineral resources of the Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado (UGA-20) UGA MP illustrating the overall simple structureEdited by: T. D. Fouch, V. F. Nuccio, and T. C. Chidsey, Jr. The Uinta Basin holds special fascination for economic geologists because of its rich and diverse assemblage of minerals and hydrocarbon resources. Due to their presence in rocks of the basin, much effort has been put into assessing and exploiting uranium, phosphate, gold, copper, coal, and evaporite minerals. However, the basin is probably best noted for its extensive and very rich
