Geochemical prospecting for copper and nickel in the Wulgai and Tor Tangi areas southeast of Hindubagh, Quetta Division, Pakistan
S. Anthony Stanin, M.A. Wahid, Shamsher Khan
1975, Open-File Report 75-163
Showings of magnetite, copper, and possible nickel mineralization in the Hindubagh chromite mining district are near Wulgai and Tor Tangi. Several hundred samples of clastic material from dry streambeds in these areas were sieved for the minus-80-mesh fraction and analyzed for copper using 2, 2'-biquinoline and for nickel using alpha-furildioxime....

Karl W. Stauffer
1975, Open-File Report 75-273
The Gilgit-Hispar area contains a large variety of igneous and metamorphic rocks, which have been grouped into seven general lithologic units, five composed largely of metamorphic rocks and two of intrusive rocks. The metamorphic units consist of probable correlatives of the Precambrian(?) Salkhala Series; the upper Paleozoic, slightly metamorphosed schists,...

1975, Open-File Report 75-25
Analyses of Yellowstone Park thermal waters have been reported by many investigators extending back almost one hundred years. The first detailed analyses were reported by Gooch and Whitfield (1888). Allen and Day (1935) were second. White, Brannock, and Murata (1956) and Morey, Fournier, Hemley, and Rowe (1961) reported field analyses...

1975, Water Data Report HI-74-1
Water resources data for the 1974 water year for Hawaii and other Pacific areas including records of streamflow or reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites, and records of water-quality data on the chemical and physical characteristics of surface water, are given in this report. The records...

Hydrology of sand-and-gravel aquifer in central and southern Escambia County, Florida
Henry Trapp Jr.
1975, Open-File Report 74-218
The sand-and-gravel aquifer is the only fresh-water aquifer in the Pensacola area. Problems related to development of the aquifer include maximum safe yield, local contamination, local salt-water intrusion, corrosiveness of the water, areas of high iron concentration, and increasing nitrate concentration. The city of Pensacola is seeking hydrologic information, including...

Potash and other evaporite resources of Afghanistan
George I. Smith
1975, Open-File Report 75-89
On the basis of earlier work and geologic settings, seven areas in Afganistan were identified as being favorable for evaporite deposits other than halite. Five were known or suspected to contain continental brines or evaporites; two are diapirs composed of deformed marine evaporites. They were visited, samples, and are here...
A model for earthquakes near Palisades Reservoir, southeast Idaho
David L. Schleicher
1975, Open-File Report 75-12
The Palisades Reservoir seems to be triggering earthquakes: epicenters are concentrated near the reservoir, and quakes are concentrated in spring, when the reservoir level is highest or is rising most rapidly, and in fall, when the level is lowest. Both spring and fall quakes appear to be triggered by minor...

Geology, physical properties, and surface effects at Discus Thrower Site, Yucca Flat, Nevada test site
Wilfred James Carr, C.H. Miller, Harry W. Dodge
1975, Open-File Report 75-410
Geologic studies in connection with Project Discus Thrower have furnished detailed stratigraphic and structural information about northwestern Yucca Flat. The Paleozoic rocks consist of a lower carbonate sequence, argillite of the Eleana Formation, and an upper carbonate sequence. The distribution of these rocks suggests that both top and bottom of...

Upper Paleozoic to Mesozoic eolian blanket sandstones of the Colorado Plateau and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and southern Wyoming are texturally complex. As petroleum reservoirs they commonly have poor performance histories. They contain the sediments of a depositional system comprised of three closely associated depositional subenvironments: dune, interdune, and...
