This paper reports on the Springfield 1{sup {center dot}} {times} 2{sup {center dot}} Quadrangle in southwestern Missouri that was selected for study under the Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP) because it lies midway between the Mississippi valley-type (MVT) deposits of the Southeast Missouri lead-zinc-silver-copper district and the tri-state zinc-lead district of Missouri-Oklahoma-Kansas. This multidisciplinary analysis of the area's mineral-resource potential, completed in 1985, generated a new 1:250,000-scale geologic map of the quadrangle as well as comprehensive studies of the stratigraphy, sedimentology, and trace-element geochemistry of the subsurface Paleozoic sedimentary rocks (mostly Upper Cambrian dolostones), the petrology, structure, and geophysics of the Precambrian basement, and known occurrences of metallic and industrial mineral resources and the potential for undiscovered resources.
