Abstract

During May, 1944, detailed gravity and magnetic surveys were made at the Grand Saline Salt Dome to secure additional information on the physical properties of this typical East Texas salt dome. The results of the surface gravity and magnetic surveys, and the subsurface gravity survey in the Morton Salt Mine are illustrated and discussed. Densities and the available subsurface data were compiled and were utilized in a quantitative evaluation of the observed gravity data. The theoretical mass distribution which was determined by this quantitative evaluation is not intended to represent the unique solution of the geophysical and geological data; instead, it is offered as a possible solution based on relatively simple assumptions.
