Gravity data in the Wet Mountains area, southcentral Colorado, 2023

January 16, 2024

The U.S. Geological Survey collected ground gravity data as part of a helicopter reconnaissance campaign of the Democrat Creek alkaline complex and Deer Peak quadrangle in the Wet Mountains, Colorado. A total of 60 measurements were collected using a LaCoste and Romberg gravity meter. High accuracy geographic coordinates and elevations were collected using a survey grade Leica GS16 differential GPS system. These data supplement existing public gravity data to aid in the interpretation of a newly collected, high-resolution airborne magnetic survey (Grauch et al., 2023).
