Chemical compositions of rock types as factors in our environment
Harry A. Tourtelot
Helen L. Cannon, Howard C. Hopps, editor(s)
1971, Book chapter, Environmental geochemistry in health and disease
The types of rocks that form geologic units in the Earth’s crust supply most of the raw materials from which soils are formed and from which water derives its inorganic constituents. The compositions of what we eat and drink thus depend in part upon the compositions of the source rocks.Igneous...
Magnetic susceptibility and triangular exchange coupling in the tourmaline mineral group
T. Tsang, A. N. Thorpe, G. Donnay, Frank E. Senftle
1971, Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids (32) 1441-1448
Magnetic susceptibilities of three iron-rich tourmaline crystals from Mexquitic (Mexico), Pierpont (New York), and Madagascar with different and known chemical compositions have been studied from 8° to 300°K. The iron atoms in the tourmaline crystal structure, space group R3m, a∼15·9, c∼7·2 , are...
Palaeomagnetism and potassium-argon ages of volcanic rocks of Ngorongoro caldera, Tanzania
C. S. Grommé, T. A. Reilly, A. E. Mussett, R. L. Hay
1971, Geophysical Journal International (22) 101-115
Natural remanent magnetization (NRM) has been measured in 21 lava flows and 1 tuff in the south-west wall of Ngorongoro caldera, Tanzania. The lowest three lavas are normally magnetized, the next two have intermediate directions, and the remainder are reversed; potassium-argon dating places the reversal at 2.45 My, corresponding...
Wells and springs in California and Nevada within 100 miles of point 37°15' N, 116°25' W, on Nevada test site
William Thordarson, B.P. Robinson
1971, Report
Studies of published and unpublished geologic and ground-water data, for an inventory of 6,032 wells and 754 springs in parts of Inyo and Mono Counties, California, and Clark, Esmeralda, Lincoln, and Nye Counties, Nevada, reveal the following information:A complex sequence of granitic, metamorphic, volcanic, and sedimentary rocks of Precambrian to...
Water resources of the Coamo area, Puerto Rico
Ennio V. Giusti
1971, Report
This study, like other similar studies, was made possible by a cooperative water-resources program between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Puerto Rico Water Resources Authority (at the time), representing also the Puerto Rico Aqueduct & Sewer Authority and the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company.This report covers the hydrologic investigation...
Open-channel integrating-type flow meter
K.C. Koopman
1971, Report
A relatively inexpensive meter for measuring cumulative flow in open channels with a rated control,. called a "totalizer", was developed. It translates the nonlinear function of gage height to flow by use of a cam and a float. A variable resistance element in an electronic circuit is controlled by the...
Application of remote sensing techniques for appraising changes in wildlife habitat
Harvey K. Nelson, Albert T. Klett, John E. Johnston
1971, Conference Paper, International Workshop in Earth Resources Survey Systems
An attempt was made to investigate the potential of airborne, multispectral, line scanner data acquisition and computer-implemented automatic recognition techniques for providing useful information about waterfowl breeding habitat in North Dakota. The spectral characteristics of the components of a landscape containing waterfowl habitat can be detected with airborne scanners. By...
Biology of larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) of the 1960 year class, isolated in the Big Garlic River, Michigan, 1960-65
Patrick J. Manion, Alberton L. McLain
1971, Technical Report 16
The early life history of the sea lamprey, from hatching to the first capture of metamorphosed individuals, is described from observations on a known-age population isolated in a tributary of southern Lake Superior. The population had its origin in the spring of 1960, when 722 sea lampreys nearing spawning condition...
The white-crowned pigeon: A fruit-eating pigeon as a host for Trichomonas gallinae
R. M. Kocan, A. Sprunt IV
1971, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (7) 217-218
Trichomoniasis resulting from infection by Trichomonas gallinae was observed in 12 laboratory reared white-crowned pigeons (Columba leucocephala). A field survey of nestlings in the Florida Keys revealed a prevalence of 88% T. gallinae carriers but no evidence of trichomoniasis could be found among the wild birds....
Tertiary climatic fluctuations and methods of analysis of tertiary floras
J. A. Wolfe
1971, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (9) 27-57
On theoretical grounds, an analysis of the physiognomy of a Tertiary leaf assemblage is more direct and reliable than a circuitous floristic analysis in assigning thermal regimes to fossil assemblages. Using primarily foliar physiognomy and secondarily floristic composition, it can be shown that: (1) some middle latitude Tertiary assemblages probably...
Hydrogeochemical effects of injecting wastes into a limestone aquifer near Pensacola, Florida
Donald A. Goolsby
1971, Groundwater (9) 13-19
Acidic industrial wastes have been injected into deep wells in a limestone aquifer near Pensacola, Florida, since 1963. Prior geohydrologic studies in the area had indicated that the limestone aquifer contained nonpotable water and was overlain by an extensive clay confining layer.Two injection wells are presently being used to inject...
Results from the apollo-12 passive seismic experiment
G. Latham
1971, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (3) 4-9
The objective of the passive seismic experiment is to measure vibrations of the lunar surface produced by all natural and artificial sources of seismic energy and to use these data to deduce the internal structure and composition of the moon, the nature of forces which may cause deformation of the...
The earth's core: Speculations on its chemical equilibrium with the mantle
R. Brett
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 203-221
A review of the literature indicates that a reasonable estimate of the composition of the earth's core is iron with Ni0–5, Si10–25 (wt.%). Thermodynamic calculations and comparison of chondritic with terrestrial abundances indicate that 1 wt.% each of Mn, P, and Cr might also be present. A core of this composition...
Comparison of Sr87 Sr86 for sea-water strontium and the Eimer and Amend SrCO3
R.A. Hildreth, W.T. Henderson
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 235-238
A series of analyses were undertaken to determine a precise difference between sea-water strontium and the Eimer and Amend SrCO3 standard. A mean difference between the sea-water composite and the Eimer and Amend SrCO3 of 0.00107 ± 0.000042 was obtained....
Variation of iridium in a differentiated tholeiitic dolerite
L. P. Greenland
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 319-322
Iridium has been determined in a drill core from the Great Lake (Tasmania) dolerite sheet. Iridium decreases systematically from the mafic dolerites (0.25 ppb) to the granophyres (0.006 ppb). The trend with differentiation closely parallels that of chromium....
