Ophiolite and volcanic arc assemblages on the Vizcaino Peninsula and Cedros Island region, Baja California Sur, Mexico: Mesozoic forearc lithosphere of the Cordilleran magmatic arc Ophiolite and volcanic arc assemblages on the Vizcaino Peninsula and Cedros Island region, Baja California Sur, Mexico: Mesozoic forearc lithosphere of the Cordilleran magmatic arc

Mesozoic ophiolites in the Vizcaíno Peninsula and Cedros Island region of Baja California Sur are suprasubduction zone Cordilleran-type ophiolites structurally juxtaposed with underlying high pressure-temperature subduction complex assemblages. The region is divided into three separate tectonostratigraphic terranes, but here we recognize stratigraphic, intrusive, and petrologie links...

Location and age database for selected foraminifer samples collected by Exxon Petroleum geologists in California Location and age database for selected foraminifer samples collected by Exxon Petroleum geologists in California

Most of the geologic maps published for central California before 1960 were made without the benefit of age determinations from microfossils. The ages of Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks in the mostly poorly exposed and structurally complex sedimentary rocks represented in the Coast Ranges are critical in determining stratigraphic succession or lack of it, and in determining whether the...

Leaching, transport, and methylation of mercury in and around abandoned mercury mines in the Humboldt River basin and surrounding areas, Nevada Leaching, transport, and methylation of mercury in and around abandoned mercury mines in the Humboldt River basin and surrounding areas, Nevada

Mercury and methylmercury concentrations were measured in mine wastes, stream sediments, and stream waters collected both proximal and distal from abandoned mercury mines to evaluate mercury contamination and mercury methylation in the Humboldt River system. The climate in the study area is arid, and due to the lack of mine-water runoff, water-leaching laboratory experiments were used to...

Shaded relief aeromagnetic map of the Santa Clara Valley and vicinity, California Shaded relief aeromagnetic map of the Santa Clara Valley and vicinity, California

This aeromagnetic map covers the southern portion of San Francisco Bay, the Santa Clara Valley and surrounding mountains, part of which has been modelled in threedimensions (Jachens and other, 2001). The magnetic anomaly map has been compiled from existing digital data. Data was obtained from six aeromagnetic surveys that were flown at different times, spacings and elevations. The...

Preliminary analyses for perchlorate in selected natural materials and their derivative products Preliminary analyses for perchlorate in selected natural materials and their derivative products

Increasing concern about sources of perchlorate contamination in ground and surface waters has led to interest in identifying potential sources of natural perchlorate and products derived from these natural sources. To date, most perchlorate found in ground and surface waters has been attributed to its major uses as an oxidizer in solid propellants for rockets, in fireworks and other...
