Primary Sediment Production from Granitic Rocks in Southeastern Arizona

Primary Sediment Production from Granitic Rocks in Southeastern Arizona

Isolated granitic rock bodies (granites, granodiorites, quartz monzonites) in the vicinity of Benson in southeastern Arizona were studied to trace the behavior of rock weathering. Thin sections of fresh granites were examined to characterize the original mineralogy which consisted mainly of quartz,...
