Example 7

This example shows lode deposits and their relationship to overlap assemblages.  Some symbols for the lode deposits were modified to emphasize them.  The background geology is classified according to TERRANE with only overlap assemblages shown.

The following files were used to draw this view:
  \circum\shp\geol5m\rox5mte.asx
  \circum\shp\base\w_mask.asx
  \circum\shp\base\hydro.asx
  \circum\shp\depos\lodedep.bob
