An example might be proved (by stable-isotope studies) to have formed the seeking of additional gold nuggets in a stream in through the action of meteoric waters constituting which one nugget had already been found, and the fossil geothermal systems; and (3) field and laboratory extension of that model to include other streams as investigations clearly show that volcanogenic massive well.

The 85 descriptive science as the speculative models have been put to deposit models and 60 grade-tonnage models presented definitive tests. here are the culmination of a process that began in Several fundamental problems that may have no 1983 as part of the USGS-INGEOMINAS Cooperative immediate answers revolve around these questions: Is Mineral Resource Assessment of Colombia (Hodges and there a proper number of models?

Who decides required that U.S. and Colombian geologists agree on a (and when?) that a model is correct and reasonably classification of mineral deposits, and effective complete? Is a model ever truly complete? How resource assessment of such a broad region required complete need a model be to be useful? that grade-tonnage models be created for a large In preparing this compilation we had to decide number of mineral deposit types. A concise one-page whether to discuss only those deposits for which the format for descriptive models was drawn up by Dennis data were nearly complete and the interpretations COX, Donald Singer, and Byron Berger, and Singer concordant, or whether to extend coverage to include devised a graphical way of presenting grade and many deposits of uncertain affiliation, whose tonnage data. Sixty-five descriptive models (Cox, characteristics were still subjects for major debate. 1983a and b) and 37 grade-tonnage models (Singer and This compilation errs on the side of scientific Mosier, 1983a and b) were applied to the Colombian optimism; it includes as many deposit types as project. Because interest in these models ranged far possible, even at the risk of lumping or splitting types beyond the Colombian activity, it was decided to incorrectly. Nevertheless, quite a few types of enlarge the number of models and to include other deposits have not been incorporated. aspects of mineral deposit modeling.

  • Subduction Cycles Under Western North America During the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras
    .. Geological Society of America Special Paper 299 1995 Subduction cycles under western North America during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras Peter L. Ward U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefield Road, MS 977, Menlo Park, California 94025 ABSTRACT An extensive review of geologic and tectonic features of western North America suggests that the interaction of oceanic plates with the continent follows a broad cycli- cal pattern. In a typical cycle, periods of rapid subduction (7-15 cdyr), andesitic vol- canism, and trench-normal contraction are followed by a shift to trench-normal extension, the onset of voluminous silicic volcanism, formation of large calderas, and the creation of major batholiths. Extension becomes pervasive in metamorphic core complexes, and there is a shift to fundamentally basaltic volcanism, formation of flood basalts, widespread rifting, rotation of terranes, and extensive circulation of flu- ids throughout the plate margin. Strike-slip faulting becomes widespread with the creation of new tectonostratigraphic terranes. A new subduction zone forms and the cycle repeats. Each cycle is 50-80 m.y. long; cycles since the Triassic have ended and begun at approximately 225, 152, 92, 44, and 15 Ma. The youngest two cycles are diachronous, one from Oregon to Alaska, the other from central Mexico to Califor- nia. The transitions from one cycle to the next cycle are characterized by rapid and pervasive changes termed, in this chapter, “major chaotic tectonic events.” These events appear to be related to the necking or breaking apart of the formerly sub- ducted slab at shallow depth, the resulting delamination of the plate margin, and the onset of a new subduction cycle.

By KEITH C. McKEOWN. (Assistant Entomologist, The Australian Museum, Sydney.) (Plate xvii.) Introduction. ALTHOUGH of considerable economic value to those engaged in establishing trout in our rivers, and of the greatest interest to anglers, no information appears to have been published regarding the food of trout in Australia. It has been with the intention, therefore, of securing data on this subject that fish stomachs have been procured from time to time, as opportunity permitted, and their contents examined and listed. Sufficient information has now been secured to warrant the publication of a preliminary paper, and it is hoped that additional material will come to hand to enable further work to"be carried out. A very much larger series of stomachs is required, from as many localities as possible and secured over an extended period, before any definite conclusions can be drawn from the results. Realizing the diversity of tastes of the trout, and that they will feed upon practically any small animals which may come within their reach, and that the presence or absence of any organism is dependent upon climatic and other conditions, I have refrained, as far as possible, from expressing opinions, other than tentatively, simply setting out the results obtained in the hope that future work will enable a fairly exact estimate to be arrived at as to the constitution of trout­ foods in Australia.
