The area of influence of an exploratory hole
A method is presented for calculating the area of influence of exploratory drill holes by using the size and shape of resource targets. The solution presented is for elliptical and circular targets, but the method is applicable to any shaped target. The degree to which points have been explored depends upon their distance away from a drill hole and the possible orientations of the target. Several

Natural remanent magnetization, mag¬netic properties, and oxidation of titanomagnetite in basaltic rocks from DSDP Leg 34
We have made paleomagnetic measurements and investigated the magnetic mineralogy of 24 samples of basalt and diabase from Sites 319, 320, and 321 on the Nazca plate. Sample distributions, locations, and ages of overlying sediments are as follows: Site 319, Hole 319, lat 13°01.04'S, long 101°31.46'W, 2 samples, early Miocene (N8); Site 319, Hole 319A, (same coordinates and age), 12 samples. Site 32

Chino Valley formation (Cambrian?) in northwestern Arizona
A thin persistent unit (maximum thickness 13 m) of probable Cambrian age in the Chino Valley region of northwestern Arizona consists of three laterally equivalent, mutually exclusive lithofacies. These are, from west to east, lithic sandstone, pebble to boulder conglomerate, and dolomite. The unit, named the Chino Valley Formation, is younger than middle Middle Cambrian and older than Devonian in

The Oligocene volcanic center at Eureka, Nevada
A volcanic center covering an area of about 80 km2 near Eureka, Nev., and active in the early Oligocene, is characterized by rhyolitic, rhyodacitic. and andesitic pyroclastic rocks, lava flows, and shallow intrusive bodies. These rocks were emplaced as intertonguing and interpenetrative units during a 5-m.y. interval; most of the volcanism was in the last 3 million years of this period (36 to 33 m
