This map geodatabase digitally represents the general distribution of bedrock geologic map units in the Turtle Mountains area, California, as portrayed in Plate 1 of USGS Bulletin 1713-B, Mineral resources of the Turtle Mountains Wilderness Study Area, San Bernardino County, California (1988), https://doi.org/10.3133/b1713B. The map covers parts of the Rice, Turtle Mountains, and Savahia Peak 15’ quadrangles at 1:48,000 scale. Plate 1 is titled Mineral resource potential map of the Turtle Mountains Wilderness Study Area, San Bernardino County, California. The current database represents the geologic map base of Plate 1, but does not include mines, prospects, and mineral-potential evaluations that Plate 1 also portrays....
Pegmatite and granite dikes in Vishnu Schist at mouth of Cottonwood Creek, south side of river mile 81.1.
View north toward Phantom Ranch campground of Bright Angel Creek from Redwall Limestone rim on South Kaibab Trail. Flat-lying Tapeats Sandstone overlies 1,300 feet of crystalline rocks of inner Grand Canyon bottom, with local down-dropped sections of red Unkar Group strata separating the two.
View southwest toward Vishnu Schist and lower Hakatai Rapids, river mile 111.6, from east side of Hakatai Canyon at old cable crossing, south of and above river mile 111.4.
Photograph showing black schist of small Precambrian “island” during the Cambrian sea encroachment, right bank of river mile 212.5.
View west and downriver toward red granite on south bank of river mile 237.2.
Aerial view southeast toward granite and schist overlain by Cambrian strata on south side of Diamond Creek canyon, about 3 miles east of river mile 226.0.
The Geologic Photos of Alaska database and online application contains photographs taken during and in support of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) projects. These photographs primarily document field sites and geomorphology statewide, usually in remote locations that are often impossible or prohibitively expensive to revisit. The database (http://maps.dggs.alaska.gov/photodb/) includes a variety of images such as field photos, photos of samples, and photomicrographs (photograph of a microscopic object) taken with the aid of a microscope.
There is a growing demand for commodities (elements, compounds, minerals) used in today's advanced technologies. Critical minerals are usually found in ore deposits that are deemed vital to economic and national security. The National Geochemical Database on Ore Deposits: Legacy data (NGDOD) contains chemistry and geologic information for nearly 30,000 historic ore and ore-related rock samples from mineral deposits and mining districts in the United States. Geochemical data sets from various mineral deposits were submitted by geologists of the "Systems Approach to Critical Minerals Inventory, Research, and Assessment" (SACM) within the U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Resource Program (MRP). The data sets represent...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides whole rock major, minor, and trace element geochemical data, mineral chemistry, and monazite and xenotime geochronology for Proterozoic rocks in the Needle Mountains of southwestern Colorado and for Proterozoic rocks sampled from drill cores from Colorado, North Dakota, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, and Nebraska. Samples from the Needle Mountains were collected in order to constrain the polyphase tectonic evolution of the area. Additionally, multi-scale compositional mapping, petrologic modeling and in-situ geochronology constrain the pressure-temperature-time paths from basement gneisses and quartzites. Drill core samples are part of a larger characterization...
