Units of measure

The language of science is metric, and it is employed herein, but not slavishly; a dichotomy is very useful. Given units of measure are metric for crystals, grain-sizes, and scientific data. However, the extensive orebody and geology descriptions, mine locations and descriptions, and maps are given in American Standard Measure so as to be wholly consistent with the overwhelming preponderance of the extant studies, the local mine-coordinate systems, and published and non-published reports. This useful convention creates no overlap or confusion, permits facile comparisons, and is fully consistent with the extensive literature.
