About This Publication
This map is one of several 1:24,000-scale maps of the Trans-Pecos region, focusing on mineral resources associated with Tertiary intrusives andvolcanic rocks of West Texas. This study area covers Tertiary hypabyssal rhyolite laccoliths and volcanic rocks north of the Sierra Blanca peak, including the Round Top rare-earth-element prospect, Little Round Top, Little Sierra Blanca, and Triple Hill subvolcanic rhyolite laccoliths within and overlying Cretaceous Cox sandstone and Finlay and Buda limestone strata. The Tertiary intrusive and volca nic rocks provide excellent potential for hydrothermal mineral resource formation, skarn development, and magmatic ore resources in West Texas.
