Thanks Comet...here are some of the defenitions that we see in the news releases.

Massive rock: A rock that is little or not at all broken by joints, cracks, foliation, or bedding, tending to present a homogeneous appearance.

Magnetic anomaly: The value of the local magnetic field remaining after the subtraction of the dipole portion of the Earth's field.

Mafic mineral: A dark-colored mineral rich in iron and magnesium, especially a pyroxene, amphibole, or olivine.

Gravity anomaly: The value of gravity left after subtracting from a gravity measurement the reference value based on latitude, and possibly the free-air and Bouguer corrections.

Gravity survey: The measurement of gravity at regularly-spaced grid points with repetitions to control instrument drift.

Ultramafic rock: An igneous rock consisting dominantly of mafic minerals, containing less than 10 percent feldspar. Includes dunite, peridotite, amphibolite, and pyroxenite.
