Porphyry copper deposits are the world's primary source of copper and can also host a variety of secondary commodities identified as critical by the U.S. Geological Survey (U.S. Geological Survey, 2022). These deposits occur primarily along convergent plate margins, and their metal association and geochemical characteristics are reflective of whether the deposit formed in continental...

Major, minor, and trace element data, as well as backscattered electron images, were collected for clinopyroxene crystals in alkaline silicate rocks (phonolite, tephriphonolite, latite, phonotephrite, and pyroxenite) of the Bear Lodge and Mineral Hill alkaline complexes, Wyoming. Samples of alkaline rocks thought to represent early and later stages of magmatism, based on observed...

This publication provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution magnetic and radiometric survey over part of central Arkansas and southern Missouri. The airborne geophysical survey was funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative and was designed to meet the complimentary needs related to geologic mapping and mineral resource research. The survey covers an irregularly shaped...

There is a growing demand for commodities (elements, compounds, minerals) used in today's advanced technologies. Critical minerals are usually found in ore deposits that are deemed vital to economic and national security. National Geochemical Database on Ore Deposits: New data featuring fusion digestion (NGDOD) analytical methods contains chemistry and geologic information for 16,579 ore...

This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the central portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt, central Colorado. The Colorado Mineral Belt is a broad, northeast-southwest trending alignment of historic mining districts that have produced multiple types of commodities, including critical minerals that...

Geochemical, petrophysical, and depth to the Paleozoic-Precambrian basement interface from drill hole data for Mesoproterozoic igneous rocks and iron ore deposits of the St. Francois Mountains, southeast Missouri (MMDB) are provided in this data release. The samples were collected as part of various agency programs and projects from 1967 through 2019. Most samples were collected by...

Stable isotope analyses are reported (the ratios deuterium/hydrogen, carbon-13/carbon-12, oxygen-18/oxygen-16, and sulfur-34/sulfur-32) for ores and related rocks from the Pea Ridge, Lower Pilot Knob, Bourbon, Iron Mountain, and Kratz Spring iron oxide-apatite deposits in southeast Missouri; the Boss iron oxide-copper-gold deposit in southeast Missouri; the Gagaryah stratiform barite...

Surface electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data were collected in September of 2018 near Ollalie North springs in the upper McKenzie River watershed of west-central Oregon. ERT data were acquired along a single transect on the north bank of Ollalie Creek using a combination of inverse Schlumberger, dipole-dipole, and Wenner arrays. These data were collected to contribute high...

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during January and February 2023 over a distance of 3,799.3 line kilometers covering the Illinois River Basin and surrounding regions in Illinois and Indiana. Data were collected as part of the USGS Illinois River Basin Next Generation Water Observing Systems (NGWOS) project to improve understanding of depth to...

Gravity data were collected in 2022 and 2023 to assist in mapping surface and subsurface geology in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This data release provides principal facts for 666 new gravity stations that were acquired to supplement existing public gravity data coverage.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected rock physical property measurements to help understand causative sources of gravity and magnetic survey anomalies in the central Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A total of 1,460 measurements of magnetic susceptibility and density from 61 outcrops and 37 boreholes have been conducted on Precambrian rocks. The measurements aid in interpretation of...

This dataset accompanies proposed publication, "Tectonic disruption of the Proterozoic Yavapai-Matzatzal Province boundary near Sierra Hornaday, northwest Sonora", to be published in a Geological Society of America publication, which will report zircon SHRIMP-RG U-Pb ages and Sm-Nd whole rock isotope analyses to map the path of the Yavapai-Matzatzal province boundary across southwest...
