C.L. Sainsbury
1963, Circular 479
Deposits of beryllium ore in the Lost River area of the western Seward Peninsula, Alaska, consist of replacement veins, pipes, and stringer lodes is limestone in a zone about 7 miles long and 2 to 3 miles wide which is faulted and intruded by dikes and stocks. The ores are...

Tests of crest-stage gage intakes
Jack R. Carter, Charles R. Gamble
1963, Open-File Report 63-147
Various types of c rest-stage gages have been used by the Geological Survey. Most installations consist of a vertically mounted metal pipe, a wooden rod, an intake device, and a small amount of granulated cork. These gages are placed where elevations of flood crests are desired. Water rising and then...

Photography and imagery: a clarification of terms
Charles J. Robinove
1963, Photogrammetric Engineering (29) 880-881
The increased use of pictorial displays of data in the fields of photogrammetry and photo interpretation has led to some confusion of terms, not so much b photogrammetrists as bu users and interpreters of pictorial data. The terms "remote sensing" and "remote sensing of environment" are being used as general...
Downstream patterns of riverbed scour and fill
William W. Emmett, Luna Bergere Leopold
1963, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the second federal interagency sedimentation conference (U.S. DOA Miscellaneous Publication 70)
Progress has been made in describing riverbed scour and fill at a given stream section. One needs only the data routinely collected at a stream-gaging station to observe scour and fill at that station. However, similar progress has not been made to determine whether or not the scour and fill...
Surface water records of Indiana, 1963
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1963, Report
The surface-water records for the 1963 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of Indiana are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the...

Cathedral Cliffs formation, the early acid Breccia unit of northwestern Wyoming
W. G. Pierce
1963, Geological Society of America Bulletin (74) 9-22
The name Cathedral Cliffs Formation is proposed for the rocks in the Clarks Fork area of northwestern Wyoming that have long been known by the informal designation "early acid breccia." In the Clarks Fork area the Cathedral Cliffs Formation is composed of tuffs, with lesser amounts of volcanic sedimentary rocks...
Geologic history of the teays valley in West Virginia
E. C. Rhodehamel, C.W. Carlston
1963, Geological Society of America Bulletin (74) 251-274
The segment of the abandoned pre-Pleistocene Teays Valley between Scary and Huntington, W. Va. stands 130-240 feet above the Ohio and Kanawha rivers, and its bedrock floor slopes westward at about 0.6 foot per mile. The bedrock floor is overlain by highly weathered gravel in which a soil profile developed;...
Uranyl ion coordination
H. T. Evans Jr.
1963, Science (141) 154-158
A review of the known crystal structures containing the uranyl ion shows that plane-pentagon coordination is equally as prevalent as plane0square or plane-hexagon. It is suggested that puckered-hexagon configurations of OH- or H2O about the uranyl group will tend to revert to plane-pentagon coordination. The concept of pentagonal coordination is invoked...
Phosphate glass electrode with good selectivity for alkaline-earth cations
A.H. Truesdell, A. M. Pommer
1963, Science (142) 1292-1294
A phosphate glass has been found to have a significant electrode specificity toward alkaline-earth ions. The order of selectivity is 2H+ > Ba++ > Sr++ > Ca++ > 2K+ > 2Na+ > Mg++. Exchange properties are discussed in relation to possible structure. Its use to determine activity of Ca++ in natural systems containing Mg++ is suggested....
Correlations and problems in belt series stratigraphy, Northern idaho and western Montana
J. E. Harrison, A.B. Campbell
1963, Geological Society of America Bulletin (74) 1413-1427
A continuous strip of geologic maps has recently been completed along the Idaho-Montana state line between Clark Fork, Idaho, and Superior, Montana. New stratigraphic and petrographic information provides the basis for stratigraphic correlations and for the interpretation of facies changes in this part of the basin of deposition of the Precambrian Belt <span...
Paleontologic investigations at Big Bone Lick State Park, Kentucky: A preliminary report
C.B. Schultz, L.G. Tanner, F.C. Whitmore Jr., L.L. Ray, E.C. Crawford
1963, Science (142) 1167-1169
The Big Bone Lick area in Kentucky, the first widely known collecting locality for vertebrate fossils in North America, is being investigated for further faunal and geologic evidence. Mammal bones, ranging in age from Wisconsin (Tazewell?) to Recent, were recovered in 1962 from four different faunal zones in two terrace...
Tritium distribution in ground water around large underground fusion explosions
F.W. Stead
1963, Science (142) 1163-1165
Tritium will be released in significant amounts from large underground nuclear fusion explosions in the Plowshare Program. The tritium could become highly concentrated in nearby ground waters, and could be of equal or more importance as a possible contaminant than other long-lived fission-product and induced radionuclides. Behavior of tritiated water...
Insecticides: effects on cutthroat trout of repeated exposure to DDT
Don Allison, Burton J. Kallman, Oliver B. Cope, Charles C. Van Valin
1963, Science (142) 958-961
Cutthroat trout were periodically exposed to p, pp-DDT, in acetone solution or in the food. Excessive mortality occurred only in lots treated with high concentrations of DDT, probably as a result of decreased resistance to nonspecific stressors. Surviving fish in these lots were significantly larger than those in the control...
Early pennsylvanian currents in the southern Appalachian Mountains
J. Schlee
1963, Geological Society of America Bulletin (74) 1439-1451
Measurement of more than 1200 cross-beds in lower Pennsylvanian sandstones of the southern Appalachian Mountains reveals a broad pattern of sediment transport to the southwest and west. Most of the sand appears to have been derived from the east and to have moved south-westward parallel to the axis of the...
