Collecting on the Island of Seiland, Norway

摘要

In 1959, I was very fortunate to be Arthur Montgomery's field assistant doing geologic mapping in New Mexico. As we walked or stopped for lunch, he would tell me stories of his mineral collecting trips, about collecting topaz and other minerals in Utah, aquamarine on Mount Antero, Colorado, and epidote on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. He has published accounts of these and many of his other collecting trips. In 1931 when he graduated from Princeton, he made a year long trip to Europe. He planned to visit some of the famous European mineral localities, but he never wrote about this trip except about a visit to the epidote locality in the Untersultbachtel Valley in the Austrian Alps.
