Abstract
Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses for 31 elements and atomic—absorption analyses for gold and zinc on 6 bulk stream sediments, 20 soil, and 19 rock samples from the Craggy Mountain Extension area and vicinity, Buncombe County, North Carolina, are reported here in detail. Locations for all samples are given in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Brief descriptions of rock samples are also included. Rocks analyzed include mica—garnet—kyanite schist, mica—quartz gneiss, vein quartz, and amphibolite. The data contain no obviously anomalous values that might be related to mineralized rock.
