Rock Chemistry for Fort Stanton-Snowy River Samples

Description

The Fort Stanton-Snowy River cave system (FSC) is located in Lincoln County, New Mexico in the upper Rio Hondo Basin. The entrance of the cave is on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land near the site of historic Fort Stanton. These data represent the total recoverable rock chemistry associated with the geology of the surface near the cave. The data include major and trace element concentrations. The rock chemistry will aid investigators in understanding the source of the water that deposits the Snowy River Formation.
