Density and magnetic susceptibility measurements on Archean and Proterozoic rocks, southern Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming, 2021-2024
Rock physical property measurements were collected on outcrops to help understand the causative sources of gravity and magnetic survey anomalies in the southern Medicine Bow Mountains of Wyoming. A total of 539 magnetic susceptibility measurements and 318 density measurements have been conducted. The resulting data aid in interpretation of gravity and airborne magnetic data that are helping to understand Precambrian geology and potential mineral resources. For outcrop measurements, lithologic info is provided.
