The project resulted in a model of the roots of porphyry copper systems based on dismembered systems in areas of major post-ore crustal extension, and it is pointing toward a new model of how the crust extends by superimposed sets of normal faults. The document summarizes the oral presentations that have been given to disseminate some of the results, the major paper and thesis that have resulted to date from the project, and the status of other aspects of the study that we expect to publish subsequently. The principal results are a paper in Economic Geology, in which the PI is the lead author, and an M.

    Compilation Geologic Map of the Galleta Flat West 7.5′′′ Quadrangle, Pima and Cochise Counties, Arizona by Steven J. Skotnicki and Christine H. Siddoway Arizona Geological Survey Digital Geologic Map 08 November, 2001 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 Includes 18 page text, and 1:24,000 scale geologic map. Partially funded by the Arizona Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP Program Contract #00HQAG0149. INTRODUCTION The Galleta Flat West quadrangle includes the northern part of the divide between the Tucson basin to the west and the San Pedro Basin to the east, and the southern part of the Little Rincon Mountains. The region is dominated by Proterozoic and mid-Tertiary granitic rocks bordered by Late Tertiary basin-fill deposits that fill the low divide between the Whetstone Mountains to the south and the Rincon and Little Rincon Mountains to the north. Interstate 10 slices across this low area a few miles south of the quadrangle. Fieldwork was carried out between November, 2000 and April, 2001. This study was done during the same field season as mapping to the south in the Mescal 7.5’ quadrangle (Skotnicki, 2001). Shallow-water platform carbonates were deposited during the Paleozoic on an extensive erosion surface beveled into Proterozoic granitic and metamorphic rocks. Erosion and faulting during the Late Jurassic led to infilling of the Bisbee Basin by the Upper Jurassic to middle Cretaceous Bisbee Group. The resulting succession of Paleozoic and Mesozoic strata in the Whetstone Mountains to the south is one of the thickest sequences preserved anywhere in the state.

    Geologic Map of the Mescal 7.5´ Quadrangle, Pima and Cochise Counties, Arizona by Steven J. Skotnicki Arizona Geological Survey Digital Geologic Map 09 November, 2001 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 Includes 25 page text, and 1:24,000 scale geologic map. Partially funded by the Arizona Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP Program Contract #00HQAG0149. INTRODUCTION The Mescal quadrangle straddles the divide between the Tucson basin to the west and the San Pedro Basin to the east. The region is dominated by Late Tertiary basin-fill deposits that form the low divide between the Whetstone Mountains to the south and the Rincon and Little Rincon Mountains to the north. Interstate 10 crosses this low area just south of the drainage divide. The Mescal 7.5´ quadrangle was mapped as part of the STATEMAP program. Fieldwork was carried out between November, 2000 and April, 2001 and was concurrent with mapping to the north in the Galleta Flat 7.5´ quadrangle. The low, subdued nature of the area hides a complex geologic history. Shallow- water platform carbonate and mature clastic sedimentary rocks were deposited during the Paleozoic on an extensive erosion surface beveled across Proterozoic granitic and metamorphic rocks. Erosion and faulting during the Late Jurassic led to infilling of the Bisbee Basin by the upper Jurassic to middle Cretaceous Bisbee Group. The resulting succession of Paleozoic and Mesozoic strata in the Whetstone Mountains is one of the thickest sequences preserved anywhere in the state. These rocks were deformed during compression and thrust faulting during the Laramide orogeny at the end of the Cretaceous.
