Summary
Magnetic susceptibility was measured on outcropping rock in the eastern Adirondack Mountains, New York. A Terraplus KT-20 was used for the measurements. The corresponding rock type was identified using standard field geologic approaches. Locations of the outcrops were determined using a handheld GPS.

Purpose
These data may be used for scientific studies of magnetic susceptibility, airborne magnetic data interpretation, and geology of the eastern Adirondack Highlands. The region is of interest because of the presence of magnetite-apatite deposits containing rare earth elements (REEs), which are considered a critical mineral resource.
