Excerpt from Geysers of Yellowstone National Park
The deposits of which the beautiful geyser cones and terraces consist are mainly silica, for the slightly alkaline waters in the present geyser areas come from rhyolites. These deposits are built up by thin layers often intricately fluted or of a lacework pattern and mostly of pure white color. The region is about feet above sea level and the groups of geysers are mainly in valleys traversed by streams, many of them on the bank of a stream as shown in Tafel 1.

<p class="gallery_img_description" style="display: none;">
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Background
</h2>
<p class="article__text">
<a rel="nofollow" class="btn-edit-popup" href="/web/person-edit.html?profileId=3760773§ion=background#general"></a>
Nelson H. Darton was born on December 17, 1865, in Brooklyn, New York, the only child of William Darton and Caroline Matilda Thayer. His paternal grandparents had come from Devonshire, England, to Quebec in 1825 and had later settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts.<br/><br/>William Darton, a shipbuilder at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, served as a civilian navigator for the navy during the Civil War and later worked as a civil engineer; he helped his son learn higher mathematics.

Education
</h2>
<p class="article__text">Young Nelson Darton dropped out of school at the age of thirteen to enter the pharmaceutical laboratory of his uncle William Thayer in New York City, and never resumed formal education.</p>

Career
</h2>
<p class="article__text">After two years in his uncle's firm, during which Darton learned practical chemistry, he opened his own shop at the age of fifteen, specializing in organic analyses and industrial chemistry, mainly sugar processing and tanning. The American Chemical Society, probably unaware of his age, elected him a member in 1881.<br/><br/>Gradually, however, Darton's scientific passion was deflected from chemistry to geology. Darton was fascinated by his uncle's small mineral collection and began taking field trips in the New York area. As he read in the geological literature on the region he set up a card catalogue of references which led him to correspond with Grove Karl Gilbert of the United States Geological Survey. Gilbert needed a bibliographical project done for the entire Appalachian region, and in 1886 invited Darton to join the federal survey staff in Washington, D. C. Darton's bibliographical project was expanded to a general catalogue of references from 1732 to 1891 on North American geology. This work, published in 1896 as the Geological Survey's Bulletin no. 172, initiated the indispensable annual series, Index to North American Geology, used by both geologists and historians of science.<br/><br/>At the same time, Darton also worked on Atlantic Coast field assignments, studying the Newark group of rocks in New Jersey (1886), running reconnaissances in West Virginia and Virginia (1887 - 1888), examining phosphate-bearing formations in Florida (1890), and reviewing water-bearing beds of the Coastal Plain (1895). In 1892 - 1893 he drew up a new state geological map for New York, in the process learning to construct his own topographical base maps.<br/><br/>Darton was transferred in 1895 to the hydrographic branch of the Geological Survey to study underground water resources in the Great Plains area. This work, which occupied him until 1907, necessarily required much basic research on the stratigraphy and structure of rock formations. He began in the Dakotas, paying particular attention to the Black Hills sequence, and worked south through Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, spending the winter seasons investigating Arizona and New Mexico. His results appeared as the Preliminary Report on the Geology and Underground Water Resources of the Central Great Plains. Overlapping this work was his study of the Grand Canyon, summarized for a popular audience in the best-selling pamphlet, Story of the Grand Canyon (1917).<br/><br/>In 1907 Darton transferred to the technologic branch of the survey, which in 1910 became the federal Bureau of Mines. For the bureau he investigated coal lands in the far west and in Pennsylvania. His studies of anthracite coal fields and of gas explosions in mines had practical consequences for the conservation movement and for mine safety.<br/><br/>In 1913 Darton rejoined the Geological Survey, where he remained until his retirement in 1936. He returned to the Southwest for six years to prepare a report on the red beds of New Mexico, strata notorious in geology for the controversies over the exact conditions of their deposition. A series of field trips outside the United States followed, to Cuba (1916) to study water-bearing rocks; to Santo Domingo (1919 - 1920), Baja California (1920), and Venezuela (1926 - 1927) for petroleum exploration; and to Mexico City (1924) to date archaeological remains from lava flows.<br/><br/>Darton composed a topographical map and a geological map of Texas from 1925 to 1931. He then worked on a geological map of South Dakota and completed his study of Pennsylvania's coal fields. After retirement, he continued to study the Atlantic Coastal Plain in the Maryland-Washington-Virginia area. Nelson H. Dalton died on February 28, 1948, in Chevy Chase, Maryland, of chronic myocarditis and was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Chevy Chase.</p>

Achievements

<ul class="interest-list" id="achievementsAnchor">
<li class="interest-list__item">
<figure class="article__container">
<p class="article__text">Nelson Horatio Darton is remembered as a geologist, groundwater specialist and an expert in geological photography, who made some important paleontological discoveries, and constructed topographic maps for bases for his geologic maps whenever they weren't available. In addition, he produced more than 200 publications.
Darton's accomplishments were recognized in his own time: The Geological Society of America (of which he was a founding member) awarded him its Penrose Medal in 1940; and the American Geographical Society, the Daly Medal in 1930.</p>
