Suitability of bedrock for construction stone in the Greenville 1° x 2° quadrangle, South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina Suitability of bedrock for construction stone in the Greenville 1° x 2° quadrangle, South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina
This map presents a qualitative regional assessment of the resource potential of bedrock for use as construction stone the the Greenville 1° by 2° quadrangle. Other studies will include metallic minerals (D'Agostine and others, in press a), gold (D'Agostino an others, in press b), and non-metallic commodities (D'Agostino and others, in press c). Construction stone, as used here in the...
A geochemical investigation of selected areas in Greenville and Laurens Counties, South Carolina: Implications for mineral resources A geochemical investigation of selected areas in Greenville and Laurens Counties, South Carolina: Implications for mineral resources
The purpose of this study is to geochemically evaluate three areas within the Greenville 1° x 2° quadrangle (see index map) that have been shown by previous studies to contain anomalously high amounts of tin. Jackson and Moore (1992) reported the presence of cassiterite (SnO2)-bearing heavy-mineral concentrates from stream sediment samples that were collected during a regional...
