Interpretation of an aeromagnetic anomaly in McMullen and Live Oak counties, Texas

January 1, 1977

An anomaly about 300 gammas in amplitude has been observed in data from an aerial magnetic survey flown over parts of Duval, Live Oak, McMullen, and Webb Counties, Tex. A two-and-one-half-dimensional model was used to iterpret the data, and the anomaly is apparently caused by a large mafic body centered near 28?10'N and 98?22'W, with an area of about 1800 km2 at a depth of 10 km.
