Using the scaling spectral method applied on high resolution aeromagnetic data, we mapped the magnetic basement and estimated the scaling exponents across various lithologies within the Middle Benue Trough of Northcentral Nigeria. We estimated a depth range of 1.8-6.3 km, with an average of 3.7 km t...
