What is this?
Two years ago we were in South Fork Coal Wash in the northwestern San Rafael Swell and saw this strange seep:
My question: Is this a Oil-(Tar-)seep? The fluid was bluish black.

I believe it's an oil seep. There are a few of them in Coal Wash and Saddle Horse Canyon. They stop flowing in cold weather.
Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

When mother nature does that, it's cool!
When man does that, it's an environmental disaster, requiring millions to clean up.I'm not Spartacus

Good point, but keep in mind that just because something occurs naturally and is organic (like that seep above), doesn't mean that it isn't toxic. Would you want the stuff in the photo in your drinking water? Would you drink that seep? I should as h*** wouldn't.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth.

How is the volume relation between a Deepwater Horizion disaster and this little seep?
