Preliminary geologic map of the Little Piute Mountains, California: A digital database

The Little Piute Mountains Digital database contains digital geologic and geographic information for the study area. The geology was mapped at a scale of 1:8,000, and the topographic information was input from the Little Piute Mountains, CA 1:24,000 quadrangle. The accuracy of the spatial information is limited to the input scale. Postscript files, originally published in paper format as Open-file

National Geochemical Database: Reformatted data from the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) program

The National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) program produced a large amount of geochemical data. To fully understand how these data were generated, it is recommended that you read the History of NURE HSSR Program for a summary of the entire program. By the time the NURE program had ended, the HSSR data consisted of 894 separate data

Fluorspar

Developments in the area of fluorspar in 1996 are reviewed. There was no reported mine production of fluorspar the U.S. in 1996, so domestic fluorspar requirements were satisfied by imports, sales from the National Defense Stockpile, and small amounts of synthetic fluorspar produced from industrial waste. The Defence Logistics Agency, consumption, imports, exports, markets, production of synthetic
