Description
The 86th annual meeting of the Cordilleran Section of the Geological Society of America was held in Tucson, Arizona in March 1990. The occasion provided an opportunity for geologists studying central and southern Arizona and Sonora, Mexico to lead field trips to their study areas. Field guides for 16 of the 18 field trips run in association with this meeting are included in this special paper. Field guides for the two remaining trips may be purchased from the American Geophysical Union. A primary responsibility of the Arizona Geological Survey is to provide information on the geology and mineral resources of Arizona. This special paper was published to offer the public a guide to outstanding and generally accessible geologic features in the Southwest and an explanation of their significance. We believe that a better understanding of the geology and mineral deposits of the Southwest will lead to greater appreciation of their complexity and diversity and to more responsible stewardship of Arizona's land and mineral resources.
