Preliminary geologic map of the Fillmore 7.5' quadrangle, Southern California: A digital database
This Open-File report is a digital geologic map database. This pamphlet serves to introduce and describe the digital data. There is no paper map included in the Open-File report.
This digital map database is compiled from previously published sources combined with some new mapping and modifications in nomenclature. The geologic map database delineates map units that are identified by general age

Application of a feedforward neural network in the search for kuroko deposits in the Hokuroku District, Japan
A feedforward neural network with one hidden layer and five neurons was trained to recognize the distance to kuroko mineral deposits. Average amounts per hole of pyrite, sericite, and gypsum plus anhydrite as measured by X-rays in 69 drillholes were used to train the net. Drillholes near and between the Fukazawa, Furutobe, and Shakanai mines were used. The training data were selected carefully to

The generation of oceanic rhyolites by crystal fractionation: the basalt-rhyolite association at Volcán Alcedo, Galápagos archipelago
Alcedo volcano is one of six shield volcanoes on Isabela Island in the western Galápagos Islands. Although Alcedo is dominantiy basaltic, it is unusual in that it also has erupted ∼1 km3 of rhyolite. The rhyolitic phase marked a 10-fold decrease in the mass-eruption rate of the volcano, and the volcano has returned to erupting basalt. The basalts are tholeiitic and range from strongly to sparsely

Rapid extension recorded by cooling‐age patterns and brittle deformation, Naxos, Greece
The metamorphic core complex exposed as the island of Naxos in the Aegean Sea records an unusually complete sequence of structures developed as a result of continental extension. The structures formed during Miocene rise and cooling from ductile, upper amphibolite facies and anatectic conditions to brittle near‐surface conditions beneath the Naxos detachment fault. Top‐to‐the‐north ductile fabrics

Sources of the Early Cretaceous plutons in the Turtle and West Riverside Mountains, California
Ages and initial isotopic ratios of Early Cretaceous (˜100 Ma) plutons of the Cordilleran Interior in the southern Turtle and West Riverside mountains distinguish them from Late Cretaceous plutons in surrounding ranges in the eastern Mojave Desert. Furthermore, the studied plutons have isotopic and geochemical characteristics more similar to plutons of Cretaceous age in the coastal batholiths (Pen

The role of serpentinite melanges in the unroofing of UHPM rocks: An example from the Western Alps of Italy: Chapter 6
The ultrahigh pressure metamorphic rocks (UHPM) of the Dora-Maira continental massif are overlain by a stack of oceanic nappes. Metamorphic grade appears to increase downward but with marked discontinuities between each of the nappes, suggesting that section has been removed along the bounding faults. This apparent omission of section is greatest in the lowest oceanic unit where a serpentinite mel
