handled by other groups on the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization
Project (YMSCP). Geologic samples are available for examination
at the Sample Management Facility (SMF), located on the Nevada Test
site, a secure DOE facility. Arrangements for examinations must
be made in advance. The sample collection is composed primarily
of tertiary volcanics from the Southern Nevada Volcanic Field. In
addition, some samples of the deeper Paleozoics are available. Contact
the DOE, YMSCP office for additional information concerning geophysical
data, map and location, and geologic and mineralogic data.
