Carroll, R D

Electric logs obtained in 33 drill holes in the Rainier Mesa region were evaluated. Aside from the usual character correlations associated with densely welded tuffs, correlations over considerable distances in the ash-fall tuffs may be noted at the horizons of tunnel bed subunits 4J and 3D, and at the contact of tunnel bed subunit 3A and the Tub Spring Member of the Belted Range Tuff. The latter correlation is the most widespread in the bedded tuffs in the area. Although diagnostic in several holes drilled Aqueduct Mesa, the electric log does not universally reflect the top of zeolitization within holes drilled Rainier Mesa. This report, the final in a trilogy of reports dealing with rock properties interpreted chiefly from geophysical logs, examines the electrical measurement obtained in 33 vertical drill holes in the Rainier Mesa area, Nevada. 85 refs., 36 figs., 8 tab.
