Rustler Park quadrangle, Cochise county, Arizona- Analytic data and geologic sample catalog
Dubray EA and Pallister JS. 1992. Rustler Park quadrangle, Cochise county, Arizona- Analytic data and geologic sample catalog. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bulletin. 2021-B
More than 220 rock samples were collected during geologic mapping of the Rustler Park 7.5-minute quadrangle in southeastern Arizona. Energy-dispersive trace-element analyses were conducted for 128 samples, major-oxide abundances were determined for 82 samples, and instrumental neutron activation analyses were conducted for 46 samples. Miscellaneous wet chemical determinations (CO2, FeO, F, and CD were made for a small number of samples. Determinations of Be, Cr, Ni, Pb, Sn, and Ag were made for 11 samples using a combination of spectrographic and wet chemical methods. Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses were obtained for seven mineralized or altered samples. Standard, and in some cases polished, thin sections were prepared for about half of the samples. All of these resources aided map unit characterization. The availability of chemical data, thin sections, and hand specimens for each of the samples collected in the quadrangle is tabulated in this report. Information in this report supplements the geologic map of the Rustler Park quadrangle (U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ-1696) and supports ongoing investigations of the Turkey Creek caldera.
