Geochemical Analyses of Geologic Materials from Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, Clark and Nye Counties, Nevada
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
An assessment by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG), and University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) is in progress of known and undiscovered mineral resources of selected areas administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Clark and Nye Counties, Nevada.
Description
The purpose of this work is to provide the BLM with information for use in their long-term planning process in southern Nevada so that they can make better-informed decisions.
Existing information about the areas, including geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and mineral-deposit information is being compiled, and field examinations of selected areas and mineral occurrences have been conducted. This information will be used to determine the geologic setting, metallogenic characteristics, and mineral potential of the areas. Twenty-five Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) have been identified by BLM as the object of this study.

They range from tiny (less than one square km) to large (more than 1,000 square km). This report includes geochemical data for rock samples collected by the USGS and NBMG in these ACECs and nearby areas. Samples have been analyzed from the Big Dune, Ash Meadows, Arden, Desert Tortoise Conservation Center, Coyote Springs Valley, Mormon Mesa, Virgin Mountains, Gold Butte A and B, Whitney Pockets, Rainbow Gardens, River Mountains, and Piute-Eldorado Valley ACECs.
