Gravity survey in the San Luis Valley area, Colorado
J. Robert Gaca, Daniel E. Karig
1965, Open-File Report 66-46
During the summers of 1963 and 1964, a regional gravity survey covering 6,000 square miles of the San Luis Valley and surrounding areas was made to determine subsurface basement configurations and to guide future crustal studies. The San Luis Valley, a large intermontane basin, is a segment of the Rio...
Plant and miscellaneous microfossils of the Pierre Shale
Estella B. Leopold, Bernadine D. Tschudy
1965, Open-File Report 65-97
This preliminary report summarizes part of a Survey program to study, in detail, the stratigraphy and paleontology of a nearly complete sequence of Pierre Shale near Redbird, Wyoming. The physical stratigraphy and correlations are being analyzed by James Gill and W. A. Cobban. Various groups of invertebrate fossils are under...
Landslides in the vicinity of the Fort Randall Reservoir, South Dakota
Christopher Forbes Erskine
1965, Open-File Report 65-56
This report covers the first 4 years (1952 through 1956) of a project to investigate landslides in the vicinity of the Fort Randall Reservoir in South Dakota and to determine the effects of the new reservoir on landslide activity....

Density comparison method for the measurement of isotopic variations in prepared waters
Joseph Howard McCarthy Jr., Thomas Seward Lovering, Herbert Williams Lakin
1965, Open-File Report 65-103
The falling-drop method of density determination has been modified so that the densities of a standard and a sample water are compared simultaneously. A constant temperature bath that does not vary more than 0.0001°C and an accurate double micropipet are described. The method has sufficient sensitivity and precision to distinguish...
Terrain analysis of the lunar equatorial belt
John Francis McCauley
1965, Open-File Report 65-104
The U. S. Geological Survey began, in November 1963, a terrain analysis of the lunar equatorial belt (10°N-10°S, 60° W15°E), on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The purpose of the study is to establish a quantitative classification system in terms of different degrees of relative resolvable roughness,...

1965, Open-File Report 65-180
Sedimentary iron and heavy-metal deposits of undetermined size have been found in the middle of the Red Sea some 2000 meters below the surface of the sea. This discovery has been made from the Research Vessel Atlantis II, which is still at sea engaged in a series of oceanographic investigations which...

A field method for the determination of silver in soils and rocks
H. M. Nakagawa, H. W. Lakin
1965, Open-File Report 65-182
A rapid, sensitive, and specific field method useful in geochemical exploration has been developed for the determination of silver in geologic materials. In this method the sample is digested with nitric acid and the silver is extracted with triisooctyl thiophosphate (TOTP) in benzene and stripped from the organic phase with...
Geology of the Romanzof Mountains, Brooks Range, northeastern Alaska
Edward G. Sable
1965, Open-File Report 65-141
This remote 700 square mile area in the Brooks Range is topographically rugged and geologically diverse; it contains a granitic pluton, low-grade metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks, and mafic igneous rocks, as well as glacial features.Rocks of sedimentary origin include from oldest to youngest:1.Neruokpuk Formation Middle and Upper Devonian(?), more than...
Geology and ore deposits of the central York Mountains, western Seward Peninsula, Alaska
C.L. Sainsbury
1965, Open-File Report 65-142
In the central York Mountains, carbonate rocks of Lower and Middle Ordovician age and aggregating at least 8,000 feet thick are thrust northward over slate and argillaceous limestone of pre-Ordovician age which were intruded by gabbro in pre-Ordovician time. Normal faults of four distinct systems cut the thrust plates, and...
