Scientific paper

In the August of 2001 and May of 2005 magnetic surveys were conducted throughout the Weaubleau (pronounced Wah-blow), MO quadrangle (located approximately 90 km north of Springfield). The magnetic data were collected using a Geometrics G-856 Proton Precession Magnetometer with position and elevation data collected by a Trimble GPS Pathfinder Pro XRS unit. One hundred and ten stations were occupied in the 2001 survey with seventy-three stations occupied or, in some cases, reoccupied in 2005. These data are reduced and presented as a magnetic anomaly map of the Weaubleau quadrangle. This area has proven interesting because of an intense deformation of Mississippian and older formations whereas Pennsylvanian formations, which unconformably overly these, are largely undeformed. The cause of this deformation has alternately been attributed to meteorite impact, cryptocrystalline volcanic disturbance or widespread horizontal compression. We look for features having circular symmetry which would support an impact origin, or having a preferred linear orientation which would support a compression origin.
