General soil map Lower Pantano wash area, Pima County, Arizona

High altitude color photography was used to determine soil type variation over large areas at a contact print scale of 1:125,000. It was found that color variation and land form could be used as a basis for assigning seven soil mapping units to the area as depicted on stereoscopic pairs of the color photography. A unit is assigned by soil scientists on the basis of similarity of soil features in the area to predetermined physical and chemical characteristics of the same soil type.

Contributions to Astrogeology: Geology of the lunar crater volcanic field, Nye County, Nevada

The Lunar Crater volcanic field in east-central Nevada includes cinder cones, maars, and basalt flows of probably Quaternary age that individually and as a group resemble some features on the moon. Three episodes of volcanism are separated by intervals of relative dormancy and erosion. Changes in morphology of cinder cones, degree of weathering, and superposition of associated basalt flows provide a basis for determining the relative ages of the cones. A method has been devised whereby cone heights, base radii, and angles of slope are used to determine semiquantitatively the age relationships of some cinder cones. Structural studies show that cone and crater chains and their associated lava flows developed along fissures and normal faults produced by tensional stress. The petrography of the basalts and pyroclastics suggests magmatic differentiation at depth which produced interbedded subalkaline basalts, alkali-olivine basalts, and basanitoids. The youngest flows in the field are basanitoids.

Highly differentiated subalkaline rhyolite from Glass Mountain, Mono County, California.

Available data on the partition of Sr between coexisting feldspar and melt phases re interpreted as an indication that a rhyolite from Glass Mountain represents about 25% of a hypothetical 'parent' magma of silicic composition having a norm ntent of 150 ppm. Available Sr and Pb isotope data on nearby Pleistocene rhyolite lavas suggest that the 'parent' magmas of volcanic rocks of the area came from mafic or ultramafic source marl.
