A procedural manual for measurement of uranium and thorium isotopes utilizing the USGS-Stanford Finnegan Mat 262

Over the past several decades investigators have extensively examined the 238U-234U- 230Th systematics of a variety of geologic materials using alpha spectroscopy. Analytical uncertainty for 230Th by alpha spectroscopy has been limited to about 2% (2σ). The advantage of thermal ionization mass spectroscopy (TIMS), introduced by Edwards and co-workers in the late 1980’s is the increased detectabili

Log for Joint SEPM-Colorado Scientific Society field trip, September 20-21, 1986: Late Paleozoic sedimentation and Laramide tectonics of the Sangre de Cristo Range, from Westcliffe to Crestone, Colorado

This trip will cross the northern Sangre de Cristo Range, from Westcliffe to Crestone, Colorado, by way of the Hermit Pass Road and the Rito Alto pack trail (Fig. 1 below; road and trail shown on Fig. 2). The traverse is designed to give the geologist a sample of the structure and stratigraphy of this part of the range. Emphasis will be on the relationship between the horst of the Sangre de Cristo

The Goldfield mining district, Nevada: an acid sulfate bonanza gold deposit

This paper provides an introduction to the geology, ore deposits, and fluid geochemistry of the Goldfield mining district, Esmerelda and Nye Counties, Nevada. Also included is a brief interpretation of mineral maps of the western half of the district which were recently produced from remotely sensed imagery acquired by the Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) systems operated by
