  Description:
    Abstract:
      New 1:63,360-scale geologic mapping of the Big Delta B-1 quadrangle 
      provides important data on the structural setting and age of geologic 
      units, as well as on the timing of gold mineralization and plutonism 
      within the Yukon-Tanana Upland of east-central Alaska.  Gold exploration 
      has remained active throughout the region in response to the discovery of 
      the Pogo gold deposit, which lies just west of the B-1 Big Delta 
      quadrangle.  Geologic mapping and associated geochronological and 
      geochemical studies by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Alaska 
      Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land, and Water, 
      provide baseline data to help understand the regional geologic framework.  
      The Yukon-Tanana Upland lies within the Tintina province in Alaska and 
      consists of Paleozoic and possibly older supracrustal rocks intruded by 
      Paleozoic (Devonian to Mississippian) and Cretaceous plutons.  The oldest 
      rocks in the Big Delta B-1 quadrangle are Paleozoic gneisses of 
      sedimentary origin, forming the protogneiss map units Pzg and Pzgn.  
      Tonalitic to granodioritic plutons invaded the Paleozoic protogneisses 
      during a Devonian-Mississippian orogeny, between 351 and 365 Ma (map units 
      Dag and Dog).  Unit Pzgn retains pre-Mesozoic penetrative fabrics, 
      presumably developed just prior to or during emplacement of the Devonian-
      Mississippian intrusions.  At least some of the rocks in the quadrangle 
      underwent tectonism during the Middle Jurassic (about 188 Ma), and were 
      subsequently deformed in an Early Cretaceous about 130 to 116 Ma.  New U-
      Pb SHRIMP data presented here on zircons from the Paleozoic biotite 
      gneisses record inherited cores that range from 363 Ma to about 2,130 Ma 
      and have rims of euhedral Early Cretaceous metamorphic overgrowths (116+/-
      4 Ma), interpreted to record recrystallization during Cretaceous west-
      northwest-directed thrusting and folding.  U-Pb SHRIMP dating of monazite 
      from a Paleozoic gneiss sample yields an age of 112+/-2 Ma.  The monazite 
      presumably grew during the waning stages of the intense regional 
      Cretaceous ductile deformation.  The Cretaceous ductile deformation was 
      followed closely by granite plutonism and gold mineralization.  The main 
      pulse of Cretaceous plutonism occurred between about 110 and 108 Ma.  
      During this time, the northeast-trending Black Mountain tectonic zone was 
      active as evidenced by the intrusion of the 109 to 108 Ma dioritic dikes 
      (unit Kdi).  The main pulse of gold mineralization is temporally and 
      spatially associated with the Cretaceous Black Mountain tectonic zone, 
      which formed a structural conduit believed to have controlled, in part, 
      emplacement of later units such as the quartz feldspar porphyry (unit 
      Kqfp) in the southeastern part of the quadrangle and the Tertiary volcanic 
      rocks in the northeastern part.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:
  Overview_Description:
    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
      The data set consists of nine coverages:  B1GEO (polygon features 
      representing geologic units and associated linear features bounding 
      geologic unit polygons),B1FLT (linear features representing faults 
      and thrusts), B1LIN (lineaments determined by aerial photographs), B1DIKE 
      (field mapped dikes), B1FOLD (mapped folds), B1PNT (point features 
      representing strike and dip attitudes of foliation, lineations, and 
      folds), B1MINES  (point features of mines and prospects), B1SHRIMP (point 
      features representing radiometric age date sample locality), and B1DECO 
      (polygon decoration coverage of arrows, bars, balls, and thrust fault teeth).
 

      All data files were created using ESRI ArcGIS 9.1 (ARC/INFO module), and
      edited later in ESRI ArcGIS 9.1 (ARC/INFO module).  Consequently, they
      contain a number of fields that are created and maintained specifically
      for those software packages.  The actual field characteristics are as
      follows:
