New Mexico Geochronology Research Laboratory: Zuni-Bandera volcanic field road log

Description: This field conference was designed to assemble a group of Quaternary researchers to examine the possibility of using the Zuni-Bandera volcanic field in western New Mexico as a test area for evaluating and calibrating various Quaternary dating techniques. The Zuni-Bandera volcanic-field is comprised of a large number of basaltic lava flows ranging in age from about 700 to 3 ka. Older basalts are present in the Mount Taylor volcanic field to the north. Geologic mapping has been completed for a la… more

Electron microprobe analyses of minerals in Precambrian rocks at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Geothermal Test Site, Jemez Mountains, New Mexico

Description: Electron microprobe analyses are presented for plagioclase, biotite, hornblende, magnetite, microcline, and chlorite in core samples from Granite Test Hole One at the Los Alamos Geothermal Test Site. The analyses and accompanying petrographic descriptions characterize material that is being exposed to artificial hydrothermal systems in laboratory experiments. Plagioclase in granitoid rocks exhibits significant compositional variation (albite rims on calcic oligoclase) and alteration to sericite… more
