Abstract
Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses for 30 elements and atomic absorption analyses for gold and zinc on 24 bulk stream sediments, 22 panned concentrates, and 50 rock samples from the Craggy Mountain Wilderness Study 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, pegmatite, trondhjemite and amphibolite. The data contain no obviously anomalous values that might be related to mineralized rock.
