New and revised lithostratigraphic units from the southwestern New England Fold Belt New and revised lithostratigraphic units from the southwestern New England Fold Belt

New and revised lithostratigraphic units are recognized in northern New South Wales. New lithostatigraphic units are: Cara Formation, Whitlow Formation, Bobs Creek Formation, Nangahrah Formation, and Dinoga Formation. Revision of the Woolomin beds to Woolomin Group and Woodsreef Melange is proposed.

Integrating spatial and frequency information in the search for kuroko deposits of the Hokuroku District, Japan Integrating spatial and frequency information in the search for kuroko deposits of the Hokuroku District, Japan

A new method (FINDER) that uses the area of influence and Bayesian statistics to aid in selection of target areas on the basis of one or more variables and multiple observations was tested with drill hole data. A previously defined bimodal distribution of Na 2 O with the low sodium group confined to a 1.5 X 3.0-km zone beneath the cluster of deposits at Fukazawa was used as a control...

A guide to commonly used map projections prepared for use in HyperCard, 1988 A guide to commonly used map projections prepared for use in HyperCard, 1988

This guide briefly describes and illustrates the characteristics of 17 map projections commonly used to present thematic data. By means of simple sketches of the basic grid system of longitude and latitude known as the Earth's graticule, the guide shows examples of the following categories of map projections: planes (azimuthal), cones, cylinders, and miscellaneous. The text gives...

Element concentrations in soils and other surficial materials of Alaska Element concentrations in soils and other surficial materials of Alaska

Mean concentrations of 35 elements, ash yields, and pH have been estimated for samples of sils and other unconsolidated surficial materials from 266 collection locations throughout Alaska. These background values can be applied to studies of environmental geochemistry and health, wildlife management, and soil-forming processes in cold climates and to computation of element abundances on...

Models of grades and tonnages of some lode tin deposits Models of grades and tonnages of some lode tin deposits

Descriptive and grade/tonnage models have recently been built for many types of deposits. Such models consist of descriptions of mineralogy, host rocks, ore textures, controls, alteration, geochemical signatures, age, and tectonic settings, together with statistical models of grades, tonnages, and contained metal of deposits of each type. The models are used to identify areas that may...
