  • Geochronology, Geology, and Listric Normal Faulting of the Vulture Mountains, Maricopa County, Arizona
    Arizona Geological Society Digest, Volume XII, 1980 89 Geochronology, Geology, and Listric Normal Faulting of the Vulture Mountains, Maricopa County, Arizona by WA. Rehrigi, M. Shafiqullah2, and P.E. Damon2 Abstract Geologic mapping and geochronologic studies in the Vulture Mountains near Wickenburg, Arizona, have led to the recognition of a large, northeast-trending batholith of 68.4-m.y. age that intrudes complex gneissic and granitic rocks of probably Precambrian age. Over- lying the denuded crystalline terrane is a sequence of late Oligocene to Miocene ( .'26 to 16 m.y.) volcanic rocks (vitrophyres, ash-flow tuffs, welded tuffs, breccias, agglomerates, and lava flows) that vary locally. Nearby source areas are suggested. A swarm of north- to north-northwest-trending porphyritic dikes intrudes the volcanics and crystalline basement. Overlying this volcanic sequence in angular unconformity is a thin section of basal conglom- erate and basalt lava flows dated at 13.5 m.y. B.P. The older, tuffaceous sequence is generally calc-alkalic but with a high proportion of rhyolites that are exceptionally rich in potassium and silica. These silicic units are peral- kaline or nearly so, and those with K20/Na2O >3 are ultrapotassic. Initial strontium ratios average 0.7081, whereas an initial ratio for the younger basalt sequence is significantly lower at 0.7054. The silicic volcanics have been severely tilted on multiple, low-angle listric normal faults. The youngest basalt flows are relatively flat lying and postdate this deformation. By geo- logic and radiometric criteria, the transition from tilted silicic volcanics to untilted basalts occurred between about 16 and 14 m.y.

Miller Open-File Report 94-15 ARIZONA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TUCSON, ARIZONA NOVEIVIBER, 1994 This report is preliminary and lias not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION The principal geologic feature of the Big Hom and Belmont Mountains is a complexly faulted and tilted series of mostly Miocene volcanic rock that record a period of Middle Tertiary magmatism and extension. These volcanic rocks vary widely in composition, but basaltic and rhyolitic rocks are most abundant (Figure 1). Intrusive equivalents of these volcanics exposed in the Belmont Mountains are dominantly granitic.

These rocks lie in the upper plate ofthe regional Whipple-Buckskin-Bullard detachment fault [Rehrig and Reynolds, 1980], at its southeastern tip [Richard et aI, 1990a]. A regional boundary between major tilts domains in Tertiary strata follows an irregular course from northwest to southeast through the range [Rehrig et aI., 1980].

Xeroriparian Systems Used by Desert Mule Deer in Texas And Arizona1 Paul R. Krausman2 , Kurt R. Rautenstrauch3 and Bruce D. Leopold4 Abstract.--We examined desert mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus crooki) occurrance in xeroriparian systems in Arizona and Texas. Most deer in Arizona were located in washes. Most deer in Texas were located between washes. Xeroriparian areas are important habitat components for desert mule deer when they provide forage, thermal cover and travel lanes.

Their range was evaluated on the northeastern edge of their extends from southwest Texas to western Arizona range in Big Bend National Park (BBNP), southwest and south into central Mexico (Wallmo 1981).

  • Top Five Things to Do This Fall
    Top Five Things To Do This Fall Written by Morgan Tanabe After enduring some of the Valley’s hottest temperatures in 2012, Arizona residents will finally be experiencing some fall weather. During the summer, Arizona locals may opt to stay indoors, but as temperatures finally dip below 90 degrees, fall in Arizona provides the ideal opportunity for seasonal activities. Although bundling up in hoodies to survive the cool air does not compare to sunshine and poolside tanning, Arizona State University students can still enjoy the weather through different outlets. Do not fret—here are five ideas to help you “chill out” while maintaining a budget. Enjoy happy hour specials Happy hour is an easy way to get out and experience some of the best restaurants in the Valley of the Sun. For ASU students, the Mill Avenue District provides a variety of quaint, charming and budget-friendly restaurants. Mellow Mushroom, located on the corner of Mill Avenue and 7th Street, provides a quirky array of pizza, salads and hoagies all made with the freshest ingredients.
