Summary geochemical maps for samples of rock, stream sediment, and nonmagnetic heavy-mineral concentrate, Sweetwater Roadless Area, Mono County, California and Lyon and Douglas Counties, Nevada Summary geochemical maps for samples of rock, stream sediment, and nonmagnetic heavy-mineral concentrate, Sweetwater Roadless Area, Mono County, California and Lyon and Douglas Counties, Nevada

The Sweetwater Roadless Area lies between Yerington, Nevada, and Bridgeport, California, along the California-Nevada boundary. The area encompasses approximately 72,240 acres in Toiyabe National Forest in Mono County, California, and Lyon and Douglas Counties, Nevada. This roadless area, which lies just east of the Sierra Nevada range, exhibits rugged topography. Elevations range from...

Summary geochemical maps for samples of rock, stream sediment, and nonmagnetic heavy-mineral concentrates, Carson-Iceberg and Leavitt Lake Roadless Areas, Alpine, Mono, and Tuolumne counties, California Summary geochemical maps for samples of rock, stream sediment, and nonmagnetic heavy-mineral concentrates, Carson-Iceberg and Leavitt Lake Roadless Areas, Alpine, Mono, and Tuolumne counties, California

The Carson-Iceberg and Leavitt Lake Roadless Areas (the study area) lie near the crest of the Sierra Nevada in central California. The study area encompasses approximately 219,630 acres in the Stanislaus and Toiyabe National Forests in Alpine, Mono, and Tuolumne Counties. The area is dominated by rugged topography typical of the high Sierra Nevada. Elevations range from about 4,920 feet...

Thermal maturity map of the lower part of the Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group, Uintah Basin, Utah Thermal maturity map of the lower part of the Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group, Uintah Basin, Utah

The ability of rock to generate oil and gas is directly related to the type and quantity of kerogen and to its thermal maturity; therefore, thermal maturity is a commonly used tool for oil and gas exploration. The purpose of this study ws to provide a thermal-maturity map for the lower part of the Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group in the eastern part of the Uinta Basin. Prior to this...
