Description:
Since Bulletin 187 was printed a dozen years ago, several new studies on
the geologic framework and mineral resources of Cochise County have been
released. Because the bulletin was reprinted without modification, it is appropriate
to call to your attention some of these new publications.
- The New Mexico Geological Society, in cooperation with the Arizona
Geological Society, held its 29th field conference in Cochise County, November
9-11, 1978. Road logs and technical papers on various aspects of the geologic
framework and associated mineral resources are included in the guidebook,
which was published by and can be purchased from the New Mexico
Geological Society, Inc.
A geologic map (scale 1:125,000) of most of Cochise County and adjoining
Pima County, prepared by Harald Drewes, was published by the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) in 1980. Robert B. Scarborough and Michel L.
Coney prepared an index of published geologic maps of Arizona, which was
printed by the Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology in 1982.
