Dataset of aggregate producers in New Mexico
This report presents data, including latitude and longitude, for aggregate sites in New Mexico that were believed to be active in the period 1997-1999. The data are presented in paper form in Part A of this report and as Microsoft Excel 97 and Data Interchange Format (DIF) files in Part B. The work was undertaken as part of the effort to update information for the National Atlas. This compilation

Geologic datasets for weights of evidence analysis in Northeast Washington: 4. mineral industry activity in Washington, 1985-1997
This report includes a table of 339 sites representing mineral activities for mining and mineral exploration in the State of Washington from 1985 through 1997. The table was primarily compiled from annual reports in Washington Geologic Newsletter and Washington Geology. The information was compiled for use in a weights-of-evidence analysis of mineral resources in northeastern Washington.

Compilation principles and the main units of the legend of the geodynamic map of North and Central Asia, Russian Southern Far East, Korea and Japan
A map at 1:5,000,000, covering the territories of Eastern and Southern Siberia, Mongolia, Northeast China and the southern part of the Russian Far East, Korea and Japan, is being compiled within the scope of the International Scientific Project on Tectonics, Geodynamics and Metallogeny. The principles and content of terrane analysis serving as a basis for the map are discussed in the article and d

Recent tectonics of the Blanco Ridge, eastern blanco transform fault zone
Bathymetric, hydro-acoustic, seismic, submersible, and gravity data are used to investigate the active tectonics of the eastern Blanco Transform Fault Zone (BTFZ). The eastern BTFZ is dominated by the ∼150 km long transform-parallel Blanco Ridge (BR) which is a right-lateral strike-slip fault bordered to the east and west by the Gorda and Cascadia Depressions. Acoustic locations, fault-parameter i

Geologic map and digital database of the Cougar Buttes 7.5' quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California
The Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP) of Geologic Division has undertaken regional geologic mapping investigations in the Lucerne Valley area co-sponsored by the Mojave Water Agency and the San Bernardino National Forest. These investigations span the Lucerne Valley basin from the San Bernardino Mountains front northward to the basin axis on the Mojave Desert floor, and from the Ra

Revised age of the Rockland tephra, northern California: Implications for climate and stratigraphic reconstructions in the western United States: Comment
Lanphere et al. (1999) presented new data for the age of the Rockland pumice tuff breccia of Wilson (1961) using the incremental-heating 40Ar/39Ar technique. Their age, ∼610 ka, is ∼200 ka older than zircon fission-track ages obtained on this tuff by Meyer et al. (1980; 1991). Application of new 40Ar/39Ar technologies to tephrochronometry is an important advance that allows more precise dating of
