Southern hemisphere origin of the Cretaceous Laytonville Limestone of California Southern hemisphere origin of the Cretaceous Laytonville Limestone of California
New paleomagnetic, paleontologic, and stratigraphic data from outcrops of the Laytonville Limestone (101 to 88 million years old) support a Southern Hemisphere orgin. A paleomagnetic megaconglomerate test is statistically significant and suggests magnetization at 14?? ?? 5?? south, predating Late Cretaceous to Eocene (70 to 50 million years ago) accretion. Rapid Kula plate movement or...

Paleomagnetism and K-Ar ages of volcanic rocks from Long Valley caldera, California Paleomagnetism and K-Ar ages of volcanic rocks from Long Valley caldera, California
Paleomagnetic measurements and K‐Ar age determinations on volcanic rocks from Long Valley caldera, California, have enabled further refinement of eruptive activity within this large silicic volcanic center. K‐Ar age determinations show that postcaldera volcanic eruptions began 0.73 m.y. ago and continued periodically until about 50,000 years ago. The eruptions were not temporally random...

Relationship of grade, tonnage, and basement lithology in volcanic-hosted epithermal precious-and base-metal quartz-adularia-type districts Relationship of grade, tonnage, and basement lithology in volcanic-hosted epithermal precious-and base-metal quartz-adularia-type districts
Examination of grades, tonnages, and basement rocks for 88 epithermal precious- and base-metal quartz-adularia-type districts in North, Central, and South America, and Japan reveals that the type of basement rock below the mineralized veins is useful for predicting grade and size of deposits. Epithermal districts overlying basement with salt and evaporites, or rocks with trapped sea...
