Analyses and descriptions of geochemical samples, Snowbird Roadless Area, Graham County, North Carolina
Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses for 31 elements on 53 stream-sediment, 13 panned-concentrate, 116 soil, and 113 rock samples from Snowbird Roadless Area and vicinity, Nantahala National Forest, Graham County, N. C., are reported here in detail. Atomic-absorption analyses for gold and zinc in all samples and fluorometric analyses for uranium in rock samples are al, so reported. Localities for all samples are given in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Brief descriptions of rock samples are also included. Rocks analyzed include metasandstone, graphitic slate, metagraywacke, mica-garnet schist, pseudodlorite, and vein quartz.
Geochemical analyses of rock, soil, and stream sediment samples from the Citico Creek Wilderness Study Area, Monroe County, Tennessee
Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses for 31 elements and atomic absorption analyses for gold and zinc on 119 stream sediments, 14 panned concentrates, 128 soils, and 192 rock samples from the Citico Creek Wilderness Study Area and vicinity, Monroe County, Tennessee, are reported here in detail. Locations for all 453 samples are given in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Rocks analyzed include metasandstone, metaarkose, metagraywacke, metaconglomerate, slate, phyllite, and vein quartz. The data contain no obviously anomalous values that might be related to economically recoverable mineralization.
Analyses and description of geochemical samples, Cranberry Wilderness Study Area, Pocahontas and Webster counties, West Virginia
Semiquantitative spectrographic and other analyses on 104 stream sediment and 100 rock and mineral samples are reported here in detail. Location for all samples are in universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Brief descriptions of rock and mineral samples are included. Rocks analyzed include sandstone and shale; two samples of pyrite from sandstone are included. No obviously anomalous values related to mineralized rock are present in the data.
