Abstract
A new aeromagnetic survey covering three aeromagnetic anomalies in the central Negev (southern Israel) is described. One of the anomalies is located near Mount Govai and two in the Hameishar area. For a first approximation, two simplified shapes were modeled: a cube and a 20-km-long vertical prism. A cube was found reasonable for Mount Govai: a downward elongated box was found more reasonable for Hameishar, and the prism model was discarded. These models fit more geologically reasonable shapes of lenses (laccolity, volcano) and drops (pluton), which were also modeled and found consistent with the data. It is infered that the magmatic bodies were emplaced into the Permo-Triassic sequence during the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous period. -from Authors
