Age and location of volcanic centers less than or equal to 3. 0 m. y. old in Arizona, New Mexico, and the Trans-Peco area of West Texas

Description: This map is one of a series of maps designed for hot dry rock geothermal assessment in Arizona, New Mexico, and the Trans-Peco area of the west Texas. The 3.0 m.y. cutoff age was selected because original heat has probably largely dissipated in older rocks. The location of volcanic centers is more important to geothermal resource assessment than the location of their associated volcanic rocks; however, ages have been determined for numerous flows far from their source. Therefore, the distributi… more

Geological and geophysical signatures of the Jemez lineament: a reactivated Precambrian structure

Description: The Jemez lineament (N52/sup 0/E) is one of several northeast-trending lineaments that traverse the southwestern United States.
