Abstract

The exploration for bauxite has been greatly stimulated by the increased demand for aluminum. The geology of the formation of bauxite in Arkansas is closely related to the syenite exposures on the old land surface at the end of Midway time. A refraction seismic survey mapped the attitude of the high velocity formations identified as syenite or Paleozoic rocks. By combining this map with a map of the Midway from scattered core holes, a map of the old land surface at the end of Midway time was obtained. By interpreting this map, future explorations by core drills can be guided to the most favorable locations.
