The first one consists of a series of intercalations of calc-silicate rocks, local marbles, and greenschist. Quartzite appears in the upper part of the section. This section passes transitionally to the gneiss, which is believed to be of sedimentary origin. Features indicative of sedimentary origin include inter­ calation with marble, relic bedding which can be observed locally, intercalation of greenschist clearly of sedimentary origin, lack of homogeneity in composition with both lateral and vertical variation occurring, roundness of zircon grains, and lack of zoning in the feldspars.

    Compilation Geologic Map of the Daisy Mountain 7.5' Quadrangle, Maricopa County, Arizona by Robert S. Leighty Arizona Geological Survey Open-File Report 98-22 August, 1998 Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress, Suite 100, Tucson, AZ 85701 Includes 30 page text and 1 :24,000 scale geologic map. This report was supported by the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency, with funds provided by the u.s. Environmental Protection Agency through the State Indoor Radon Grant Program, the U.S. Geological Survey via the STATEMAP program, and the Arizona Geological Survey. This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION The Daisy Mountain Quadrangle, located along the northernmost fringe of the Phoenix metropolitan area, straddles the physiographic boundary between the Basin and Range and Transition Zone (Figure 1). The quadrangle lies between 1-17 and Cave Creek and is bordered on the south by the northwestern end of Paradise Valley and rugged, high-relief terrain of the New River Mountains to the north. The Daisy Mountain Quadrangle includes the community of New River, which is undergoing rapid population growth and is becoming increasingly urbanized. Thus, the knowledge of the distribution and character of bedrock and surficial deposits is important to make informed decisions concerning management of the land and its resources. This project was funded by the Environmental Protection Agency through the State Indoor Radon Grant Program, and the Arizona Geological Survey. PREVIOUS STUDIES Over the last two decades various workers have conducted geologic mapping investigations in the Daisy Mountain Quadrangle.

Wynn Abstract A gravity survey of the Date Creek Basin and adjacent areas was conducted in June 1977 to provide information for the inter­ pretation of basin geology. A comparison of facies relations in the locally uraniferous Chapin Wash Formation and the position of the Anderson-mine gravity anomaly in the Date Creek Basin sug­ gested that a relationship between gravity lows and the develop­ ment of thick lacustrine sections in the region might exist.
