The emplacement and crystallization of the cornelia pluton, Ajo, Arizona: an analysis based on the compositional zoning of plagioclase and field relationsHarris, Jonathan O. January 1984 (has links)
The Cornelia Pluton was previously found to have been faulted in two (Gilluly, 1946). The downthrown apex is host to a copper ore-body, and the upthrown block represents a vertical cross-section of the igneous system. Field work confirmed the character of the relationship between three texturally-distinct quartz monzonites described by Wadsworth (1968). Plagioclase crystals were chosen from all the phases, including previously undescribed hydrothermal rocks, and analyzed with a microprobe. Graphs of anorthite content versus radial distance revealed systematic patterns of compositional variation, analysis of which yielded a consistent, time-dependent model for the emplacement and crystallization of the system. The granodiorite resulted from an earlier intrusive event. The quartz monzonites crystallized initially downward from the system's roof, and, subsequently, upward from the floor. Saturation of the remaining pocket(s) of magma led to the development of an inner fine-grained phase, and possibly, the evolution of hydrothermal fluids. The genetic connection between these fluids and eventual mineralization of the cupola is suggested.

The Structure of the Pantano Beds in the Northern Tucson BasinAbuajamieh, M. M. January 1966 (has links)
A gravimetric survey has proved its usefulness in the Tucson Basin in locating important structural features, their geometric shapes and extensions. Interpretation was made possible through the correlation of available geologic and hydrologic data from water well logs and water table contour maps. Geophysical logs from a recently drilled test well in North Tucson have been interpreted and have confirmed the existence of another promising aquifer, namely, the deformed gravel which underlies the upper basin-fill aquifer. In most cases, it is apparently separated by a thin aquiclude of clay which results in artesian condition in the lower aquifer. Gravity interpretation discloses the presence of buried channels that may be of importance to groundwater exploration. The buried high basement ridges or faulted blocks as interpreted from gravity data add more information to the understanding of the hydrologic behavior of the basin. Deep drilling of test wells, such as the one drilled recently on Orange Grove Road, will be a useful check to the structures interpreted from gravity data. Geophysical logs of bore holes are of utmost importance in correlation of lithologic units and structures in addition to the hydrologic interpretation that is possible from these logs. The Pantano beds as described here are not promising for new groundwater sources that may be used for domestic needs due to the very low permeability and the expected poor quality of the water. Still more information is necessary to determine clear answers to many problems related to the geology and hydrology of this basin.

MECHANICAL AND ELECTRON OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF A STABILIZED COLLAPSIBLE SOIL IN TUCSON, ARIZONA (MICROSCOPY, LIME-STABILIZATION).ALFI, ABDULAZIZ ADNAN SHARIF. January 1984 (has links)
This dissertation deals with collapsing soils that are prevalent in Tucson, Arizona. Upon wetting, such soils generally swell under small loads but collapse under large loads. Since the recognition of such collapsing soils in Tucson, before about two decades, more collapsing soils were encountered due to booming construction. Therefore, the main goal of this research was to study in depth the mechanism by which these soils collapse and to investigate the effect of certain mechanical and chemical treatment on that mechanism. The research included studies of undisturbed, compacted, and lime-treated samples. Both mechanical and physicochemical tests were conducted. The mechanical tests included collapse, swell, and unconfined compressive strength. The physicochemical tests involved X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Various sites of highly collapsing soils were classified with respect to collapse according to existing criteria and the soil of one site was selected for a detailed investigation. A predictive collapse criterion was developed and used to classify the collapse susceptibility of soils in Tucson. The microstructure of the selected soil was investigated before and after collapse. A physical model was proposed to explain the mechanism of collapse. The effects of initial water content, sequence of loading and wetting, and level of loading on the engineering behavior of the selected soil were investigated. Stabilization by compaction was studied using impact and static methods at seven points on the Standard Compaction Curve. The benefits of hydrated-lime additive and the short-term reactions of lime-treated samples were also studied. The research results indicated that the microstructure of the soil is highly porous due to many interassemblage pores. Fine clay particles were found either clothing or buttressing the larger silt particles. The collapse was due mainly to weakening or failure of the clay connectors between the larger soil particles due to swelling of the expansive clay minerals, reduction of the strength of clay connectors due to wetting, dispersion of the supporting buttresses, and reduction of capillary tension. Compaction by both impact and static methods minimized the collapse but not the swell of the soil. Lime treatment completely suppressed the soil's tendency toward collapse and swell.

Physiochemical characteristics during potassic alteration of the porphyry copper deposit at Ajo, ArizonaUyTana, Veronica Feliciano January 1983 (has links)
Potassium metasomatism is a widespread alteration type in porphyry copper deposits and is often spatially associated with hypogene sulfide ore formation. At Ajo, potassic alteration composes the dominant alteration type and is spatially, and to some extent, temporally, associated with chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization. Physiochemical conditions prevailing during potassic alteration thus describe a significant portion of the hydrothermal ore-forming process. Studies of fractures, fluid inclusions in quartz, and structural and compositional characteristics of K-feldspar, all in the potassic alteration zone at Ajo, indicate that: fracturing was strongest during potassic alteration and sulfide deposition, pressure were at approximately 650 bars, temperatures started a a minimum of 580°C, continued through 470°C, log aK+/aH+ changed from 2.6 at 580°C to 3.2 at 470°C, log aNa/aH+ changed from 2.7 at 580°C to 3.8 at 470°C, and the ratio aK+/aNa+ radically decreased from 0.8 to 0.3 in this temperature range.
