Studying Geology Or Geologic Reports?
idahogold replied to idahogold's topic in Rocks, Minerals, Gems & Geology
It continues.... Abstract The geology of the Idaho batholith and its border zone is interpreted by papers in this volume. The geology of the northern (Bitterroot) lobe of the batholith is well described in chapters by Toth, Reid, Wiswall and Hyndman, and Bittner, who discuss aspects of the petrology, structural geology, emplacement history, and zones of migmatization, respectively. Criss and Fleck concentrate on chemical and isotopic evidence for the origin of the batholith and some of its hydrothermal systems. Onasch discusses the structural geology of the western border zone near Riggins; Bonnichsen describes the geology of the border zone farther south near New Meadows. Lewis and others concentrate their attention on ages, chemical compositions, emplacement history, and source regions of plutons in the southern (Atlanta) lobe of the batholith. Ages of intrusions in the batholith are well constrained by radiometric dating; excluding the complex western border zone, where some plutons from the accreted Blue Mountains island arc terrane may be structurally involved, most plutons composing the batholith crystallized between 95 and 45 Ma. Calc-alkaline volcanism began in central Oregon about 55 Ma, at approximately the same time that the last phase of plutonism began in the Idaho batholith. Major phases of Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary magmatism can be correlated with directions and rates of Farallon and Pacific plate motions. just 206 more pages to go. -
From too much geology study 25hrs a week.worth of GeoBabble. But Did Find a new spot to detect Today Without Snow.. Southfacing , near an area that I witnessed w crossbedding in sedimentary sandstone( all firsts for me! applying sedimentary petrology learned recently to the structure! i.e.roadcut of a maybe? To try and detect? what appeared to me to be an ancient streambed covered by ash.....Any Thoughts out there Experienced Operators care to share any thoughts be appreciated....that you are willing to about this exposure...Eye didnt have darn camera and phone was dead. when i spun around and parked the Cherokee,. the gravel looked out of reach??? it was prob. and average of 6ft below the top of the bench...ancient stream..pinched out sitting up there 45ft. straight up.. and 6-10 ft. below the scrub grass bench Surface....the 100yd exposed roadcut seam is 2meters thick baseball, softball,football, size cobbles w/some soccerball size boulders.down below a 4-6ft.ashy yellowish peach crumbly rhyolite I also assume....? those 2 layers are sittin ontop of the more "massive 40-50ft exposure of crossbedded sandstone!! It's Beautiful to Me and its color is Grey...was goin to try the .45 00 w/ the 20inch NF Round or the 14inch NF round? I havnt actually havnt swung any detector Ever" "yet" over a piece of 'Nativegold" I'm A Newbie only in the sense of never hada season or day " yet" of 8hrs inthe field or 24 or 72 straight... just plinking around while learning as much from the Forum as well as The Best Minelab Operator's and Geologists i could find! have theright gear and playing the Exploration Geo" wannabe First before I "breakdown in tears and have to be a Spot Guy" and Go to Rye Patch... to get Lucky...for my first piece.(no offense) but I'm more of a Pattern" Fisherman. And I'm Looking for Pounds Of Gold" Only place i can detect w/out snow for 100 miles...What Have I Got To Lose...Break myself in early.....where i wana go is 8 weeks to 4months before those areas open and the season begins for me....You Know "The Start"!

Paul-just save up ....and get a new...gpx-4500....from a minelab official dealer...my dealer took payments for a few months....or buy that used 4500 one...and have him send me the battery I need an extra ! seriously if its a minelab original ? the goldscreamer kit on that used 1 takes camcorder batteries and i have a Amazon web link for charger and 2 for amazon $56bux usd...its posted somewhere in this forum couple months back.Options......Definitely get a new 4500 or a new used like thats 4sale...under warranty..$2400 is a deal......the nugget finder" my mate" and early buyers of its 8 year proven history as a gold machine $Paid$4-4500.....a few folks have even gone back to it "AfterZed"......and the new ones supposedly run w newer electronics boards etc like the 5000 just 2 less timings...Makes a smoother running unit! I'f i'm not mistaken the iron discrimination only works w Double "D coils so instead of a nugget finder mono....get ahold of nenad at phase technical and watch his yu tube vids...and "Go for" a Detech 15" .Options....theres Always more than 1 way to skin a cat! And a gpx .45 does a great job! Cheers, jd
