| Description | The purpose of this investigation was to determine the geologic history of Picacho Butte and vicinity through careful mapping of a 38 square kilometer area surrounding the peak. A detailed analysis of the geochemistry and petrology will aid in the development of a petrogenetic model for the area. The relationship of Picacho Butte to regional volcanism in Arizona, and more specifically to nearby volcanic centers can thus be established. Furthermore, in conjunction with this study a search will be made for possible planetary analogs exhibiting photogeologic characteristics similar to those in northern Arizona. |
