Abstract: Bott and Smith [1958] give the following formulas for three-dimensional and two-dimensional anomalies, respectively: where d0 is the maximum possible depth to the top of the anomaly-producing body, ΔgT is the total anomaly and Uxz, is the maximum horizontal gradient. It should be noted that these formulas are also valid as the exact depths to a point source and an infinite horizontal line source, respectively. In the case of a 'stepped' anomaly, the derivation of maximum depth is particularly straightforward if we assume that the anomaly is due to a semi-infinite step of depth d and thickness t (Fig. 1).
