Mineral resources of the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area, Polk County, Tennessee and Fannin County, Georgia
The proposed Big Frog Wilderness is comprised of approximately 1820 hectares (18.2 km2) of mountainous terrain in the Cherokee and Chattahoochee National Forests south of the Ocoee River in Polk County, Tennessee, and Fannin County, Georgia. Rocks of the study area are greenschist-facies metasandstone, meta-arkose, metagraywacke, and dark slate of the Ocoee Supergroup of late Precambrian age. A ma

K-Ar age of alunite alteration at Red Mountain, Lake City area, western San Juan Mountains, Colorado
The San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado are famous for rich vein deposits of base and precious metals and for patterns of conspicuous hydrothermal alteration. Areas of acid-sulfate alteration, characterized by extensive base leaching of volcanic rocks or hypabyssal plutons, are of current interest because of their local association with Au, Ag, and, in some cases, U mineralization (Lipman

The Yellow Dog peridotite and a possible buried igneous complex of lower Keweenawan age in the northern peninsula of Michigan
Partly serpentinized peridotite of early Keweenawan age crops out in two places along a 20-kilometer-long zone of positive aeromagnetic anomalies in northern Marquette County, Michigan. Most of the area is mantled by Pleistocene drift with few bedrock exposures.Petrographic and electron microprobe studies show that the peridotite was originally a plagioclase lherzolite containing 40 to 50 percent

Geochemical analyses of rock, soil, and stream sediment samples from the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area, Polk County, Tennessee and Fannin County, Georgia
Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses for 31 elements and atomic absorption analyses for gold and zinc on 43 stream sediments, 5 panned concentrates, 65 soils, and 81 rock samples from the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area and vicinity, Polk County, Tennessee, and Fannin County, Georgia, are reported here in detail. Locations for all 194 samples are given in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coo

Economic basis of resource information systems: The case of streamflow network design
A general method for the economic design of natural resource information systems is presented for a certain class of natural phenomena. The system design is determined by the interaction of the technical input‐output relationship, i.e., the production function, the set of resource constraints, and an economic loss function defined in terms of parameter uncertainty. An application of the proposed m

Field expectations and the determination of wildcat drilling
There is currently some dissatisfaction with macroeconomic approaches to modeling the supply of domestic crude oil. One problem that has been pointed out is that the estimated supply responses of new discoveries brought about by price increases appear to be unrealistically high. Because data frequently used in these models are highly aggregated over time and include diverse geologic regions, th
