Geologic and topographic maps of the Elysium Paleolake basin, Mars

These geologic and topographic maps show a basin in the Elysium region of Mars that is thought to have been the site of a large paleolake during the most recent period (Amazonian) in Mars’ history (Scott and Chapman, 1991b). The basin, referred to as the Elysium basin, extends for more than 2,000 km across the lowland plains (fig. 1). It is important, not only geologically, but because the amount,

Mineralogical maps showing the distribution of ore-related minerals in the minus-30-mesh, nonmagnetic heavy-mineral fraction of stream sediment, Healy Quadrangle, Alaska

A reconnaissance mineralogical and geochemical survey of stream sediments in the Healy quadrangle was conducted during 1980-1982 as part of the Alaskan Mineral Resource Assessment Program (AMRAP) of the United States Geological Survey (USGS). As a result of the various AMRAP investigations, a mineral resource evaluation of the quadrangle was published by Cox and others (1989). The Healy quadrangle
