Dawsonite NaAl(OH)2C03 is a rare mineral that occurs in relative abundance over hundreds of square miles in the Piceance Creek Basin of northwestern Colorado, as a rock-forming constituent of the oil shales in the green River Formation. In some specimens it makes up 25 percent by weight of the shale. Containing 35 percent of acid-soluble A1203, it has been viewed as a potential ore of aluminum. The dawsonite extends through 700 feet of continuous section of high-grade oil shale (averaging 25 gallons per ton), which may be as much as 1,500 feet in thickness. Its distribution, areally and stratigraphically, is reviewed; methods for its identification, and for its quantitative determination in the oil shale, with special reference to X-ray diffraction procedures are described; and the geochemistry of dawsonite, as it relates to the origin of the mineral, is considered. The scattered literature on dawsonite is briefly summarized. © 1966 Society of Economic Geologists, Inc..

The lithologic composition and the age of the rocks of the acoustic basement are not known. However, its probable seismic velocity of 3.1 to 3.7 kilometers per second suggests that it is composed of volcanic rocks or lithified sedimentary rocks or both. The regional geology suggests that the acoustic basement is the upper surface of folded late Mesozoic rocks which were locally intruded by granite and serpentine. The structure of the Bering slope, as deduced from the acoustic profiles, suggests that the surface of the basement has been monoclinically flexed and faulted between the shelf edge and the deep Aleutian Basin.","language":"English","publisher":"American Association for the Advancement of Science","doi":"10.1126/science.153.3739.992","issn":"00368075","usgsCitation":"Scholl, D., Buffington, E.C., and Hopkins, D., 1966, Exposure of basement rock on the continental slope of the Bering Sea: Science, v. 153, no. 3739, p. 992-994, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.153.3739.992.","productDescription":"3 p.","startPage":"992","endPage":"994","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":219558,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Alaska","otherGeospatial":"Pribilof Islands","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -170.91610870942412,\n 57.25766322067432\n ],\n [\n -170.91610870942412,\n 56.50003213159275\n ],\n [\n -169.00747244997436,\n 56.50003213159275\n ],\n [\n -169.00747244997436,\n 57.25766322067432\n ],\n [\n -170.91610870942412,\n 57.25766322067432\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","volume":"153","issue":"3739","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"505a0e30e4b0c8380cd5333b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Scholl, D.W.","contributorId":106461,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Scholl","given":"D.W.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":359522,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Buffington, E.

The genetic implications of thèse variations are discussed. Two mechanisms of origin are considered to explain thèse variations in isotopic ratios. One involves mixing of leads from multiple sources, the other calls for variable lead-isotope ratios originating from a single source. Several source materials for the lead ores have been suggested; whether a single source has predominated, or two or more main sources have predominated is still unresolved. Slopes from Pb206/Pb204 versus Pb207/Pb204 plot are compatible with a contribution of lead by the 1300 ± 300 m.y. basement rocks that underlie the deposits. The spatial relationships of alkaline igneous rocks to several of the minerai districts in the Mississippi Valley région suggest a possible mag-matic source for the lead. Isotopic analyses of galenas closely associated with several of the intrusive rocks are similar in isotopic composition to adjacent ore leads, but genetic implications are ambiguous. Galena oc-curring in shales in the Mississippi Valley région outside mineralized districts contains ordinary lead. Théories that call upon such shales to be the major source of the lead in the depoaits of the Mississippi Valley type must explain this distinct différence in isotopic compositions. Galena collected from districts within the Appalachian Ridge and Valley Province contains notably less radiogenic lead than that from the Mississippi Valley minerai districts, and the lead is of the ordinary type.

Previous work on this System is proven to be seriously in error and températures heretofore estimated from the \"sphalerite geothermometer\" are without a sound quantitative foundation. Sphalerite solid solutions lie essentially along the FeS-ZnS join. Neither pyrite nor pyrrhotite takes up appréciable amounts of zinc. The FeS-ZnS binary solvus (équivalent to the assemblage sphalerite + stoichi-ometric FeS) is very steep, passing through 56 mole percent FeS at 850° C and 52 mole percent FeS at 580° C. It is not useful geologically because of the rarity of stoichiometric FeS as a primary minerai in sphalerite-bearing assemblages; however, the relatively large rôle played by total pressure on the binary solvus might permit the iron content of sphalerite to be useful in determining the pressure of équilibration of some météorites. Of greater géologie interest is the sphalerite + pyrite + pyrrhotite assemblage in which the composition of sphalerite changes from 13 mole percent FeS at 742° C to 19 percent at 580° C. Unfortunately, this equilibrium cannot be quantitatively extrapolated to lower températures from the presently available data and therefore quantitative geothermom-etry of pyrite + pyrrhotite + sphalerite assemblages is not feasible at présent. Thermochemical calculations prove that the iron content of sphalerite in pyrite + sphalerite assemblages is very sensitive to variations in température and fugacity of S2; this relationship provides an explanation of growth-zoned sphalerite as the resuit of fluctuations of sul-fur fugacity, and, in combination with other sulfide assemblages that define isobarically univariant relations between température and sulfur fugacity, forms a potential basis for quantitative geothermometry.

The breeding activities of immatures observed in this study included calling, copulating, and nesting. Development of sexual structures such as cloacal papillae, oviduct openings, and gonads was also regarded as evidence of breeding potential. Immatures were identified principally by white-tipped wing coverts. Sexes were distinguished by behavioral characteristics. Males coo, perform flights, carry nest material, and attend nests during the day and females attend nests at night. Immatures were involved in at least ten nestings on two areas near Tucson, Arizona, in 1963. Five young fledged from these nests.

Although the magnitude of water‐level fluctuation of these wells is largely dependent upon the distance to a large tidal body, the time of a high or a low water level in the wells is mainly dependent upon the time of a high or a low tide in a small, nearby tidal body. A modified formula for computing tidal efficiency is developed: (Formula Presented.) From this formula, tidal efficiency can be calculated rapidly and easily.

In the past year a number of computer programs in FORTRAN IV have been developed by Charles O. Morgan and Jesse M. McNellis using an IBM-7040 computer to store, retrieve, and manipulate water-quality data. These programs:
(1) Tabulate data at the rate of 40 chemical analyses of water per minute in a format similar to that found in the Kansas ground-water publications.
(2) Perform necessary calculations and print Stiff diagrams at the rate of 30 per minute.
(3) Perform necessary calculations and print Piper diagrams, including a square modification of the normally diamond-shaped cation-anion diagram, and trilinear diagrams of the cations and anions. The symbol representing the analyses located on the diagrams can be designated by either an analysis number or a geologic unit number. A cation-anion diagram showing the average chemical composition of water for an aquifer can also be printed. These diagrams for 50 analyses can be produced in 1.5 minutes.
(4) Plot maps of 42 individual, combined, or calculated parameters obtained from the data cards. These maps can be plotted to any specified scale and for as many as 10 designated geologic units. Computer time involved for one map with 50 plotted points is 15 seconds.
It is estimated that the use of these programs will save several man-months during a ground-water study, and the error inherent in the manual manipulation of data is greatly reduced. The present cost for running 50 analyses through the four water-quality programs on the computer is approximately $20.

On the basis of iron-nickel-carbon phase diagrams at 1 atmosphere and of kinetic data, the occurrence of cohenite within this narrow composition range as a low-pressure metastable phase and the nonoccurrence of cohenite in meteorites outside the range 6 to 8 percent nickel can be explained. Cohenite formed in meteorites containing less than 6 to 8 percent nickel decomposed to metal and graphite during cooling; it cannot form in meteorites containing more than about 8 percent. The presence of cohenite in meteorites cannot be used as an indicator of pressure of formation. However, the absence of cohenite in meteorites containing the assemblage, metal plus graphite, requires low pressures during cooling.

The resistivity of the lowest layer is in the range 5-100 ohm-m and the depth to the top is in the range 20-150 km.

A large part of our disquieting present-day pesticide problem is intimately tied to the freshwater ecosystem. Economic poisons are used in so many types of terrain to control so many kinds of organisms that almost all lakes and streams are likely to be contaminated. In addition to accidental contamination many pesticides are deliberately applied directly to fresh waters for suppression of aquatic animals or plants. The problem is intensified because of the extreme susceptibility of freshwater organisms. The complexity of freshwater environments and their variety makes it difficult to comprehend the total effect of pesticides.
Branch County has abundant water resources throughout most of its area. Almost all the water used is supplied by wells that obtain water from glacial drift deposits and locally from fractures and sandy beds in the Coldwater Shale. Glacial drift in buried bedrock valleys may yield large quantities of water to wells. Well yields are generally adequate for domestic and farm supplies. Properly developed large-diameter wells tapping thick beds of sand and gravel of the glacial drift can yield up to several thousands of gallons per minute locally. The hundreds of lakes and the many perennial streams have great recreational value. They are also a large potential source of water for some supplies. For example, it is estimated that 88 billion gallons of water runs off in streams of the county in an average year, and the lakes o the county hold about 42billion gallons of water in storage.
Problems of water supply to wells exist locally in some moraine and till areas of where the glacial drift is thin and the underlying bedrock yields only small quantities of water or none at all.
Ground water is generally hard to very hard and often contains excessive iron. Salty water is mainly a problem in areas where bedrock is the chief source.
Floods are not a serious problem largely because of the storage capacity of the lakes and the permeable materials in some stream basins. Based on measurements at eight stream sites the estimated amount of flow for 90 percent of the time ranges from 80,000 to 150,000 gallons per day per square mile of drainage area.
A special study of low levels in land-locked Gilead Lake indicated that this lake is semiperched and mostly dependent upon the water table for tits levels.

The data on the brines and rhyolite glasses are compared to those from Quaternary Colorado River and Tertiary sediments of the area. The brines sampled contain '-'100 ppm Pb, sufficient for consideration as a possible ore-forming fluid. The isotopic data indicate that 80-100 percent of the strontium and 50-100 percent of the lead in these brines were acquired from the associated sediments. The isotopic compositions of lead and strontium in the Quaternary rhyolite glasses are distinctly different from those of the sediments and brines. The strontium data suggest that the rhyolite glasses were derived from basaltic or gabbroic material but may have attained as much as 40 percent of their strontium from upper crustal rocks such as the sediments analyzed.

Before 1930, students of the stratified deposits of manganese minerals have generally concluded that the contained manganese was derived from the decomposition of the rocks that formed the borders of the basins. Only in a few places have geologists recognized that if these rocks were the principal source of the contained manganese the basins should contain also enormous quantities of iron minerals, whereas most of the large deposits of manganese contain little iron. Even though more than 100 years ago some geologists proposed that the iron contained in some deposits of stratified iron minerals was probably derived from hydrothermal waters related to centers of volcanism, not until about 1930 was this source of manganese in similar deposits seriously proposed. This mode of origin was given the name \"volcanogene sedimentaire\" by French geologists working in Morocco. Since then, other names, such as \"exhalative sedimentaire,\" have been used by geologists working in several European districts. Because of the development of new techniques for the study of the chemical and physical features of the minerals, and because close attention to the lithologic environments of the beds is being given more and more during recent years, it has seemed advisable to review the features of stratified deposits of the manganese minerals in many parts of the world and over a wide range in age. This study indicates that at least three sources may have contributed the manganese in the large deposits of iron-free oxides and carbonates: (1) the rocks that form the borders of the basins, either marine or continental; (2) the nearby underlying sediments, largely of igneous origin, decomposed by warm waters largely derived from depth; and (3) waters of hydrothermal origin derived from great depths during epochs of volcanism from which iron minerals with little manganese are deposited in deep zones, then minerals with much iron and more manganese at intermediate depths, and, finally, manganese minerals with little iron near the surface. As the hot waters of many thermal springs contain more manganese than iron, such waters could yield the pure manganese oxides and carbonates found in stratified deposits. Several kinds of evidence indicate that most of the manganese in the large stratified deposits of the oxides and carbonates of manganese in many parts of the world has been derived from hydrothermal waters from depth related to centers of volcanism. Obviously, manganese derived from decay of the rocks on the lands adjacent to large basins-marine and continental -may have been added to that derived from centers of volcanism to form the sedimentary deposits found in the basins.
