Geochemical survey of the Lusk Creek Roadless Area, Pope County, Illinois Geochemical survey of the Lusk Creek Roadless Area, Pope County, Illinois
The Lusk Creek Roadless Area (Index map) lies along the western edge of the Illinois-Kentucky fluorspar district in which flourite deposits occur as lenticular-type veins emplaced along fult zones or as tratiform-shaped bedding-replacement deposits that occur along fault zones (Grogan and Bradbury, 1967; Trace, 1974). Although mineralogy varies between deposits, Trace (1974) points out...
Geochronometric and lead isotope data on samples from the Wallace 1 degree by 2 degrees Quadrangle, Montana and Idaho Geochronometric and lead isotope data on samples from the Wallace 1 degree by 2 degrees Quadrangle, Montana and Idaho
Most of the bedrock in the Wallace quadrangle belongs to the Belt Supergroup, a thick (about 18,000 m) sequence of generally fine-grained clastic and carbonate rocks of Middle Proterozoic age. Regional metamorphism prior to Cambrian time prograded the Belt rocks to greenschist facies, and some metal-bearing veins were emplaced in fractures. The Belt rocks were intruded in Late...
