Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in Alaska, 1953
John J. Matzko, Robert G. Bates
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 442
During the summer of 1953 the areas investigated for radioactive deposits in Alaska were on Nikolai Creek near Tyonek and on Likes Creek near Seward in south-central Alaska where carnotite-type minerals had been reported; in the headwaters of the Peace River in the eastern part of the Seward Peninsula and...

Airborne and ground reconnaissance of part of the syenite complex near Wausau, Marathon county, Wisconsin
R.C. Vickers
1955, Trace Elements Memorandum 742
Airborne and ground reconnaissance for radioactive minerals in part of the syenite complex near Wausau, Marathon county, Wis., found 12 radioactive mineral localities. The rocks in the area are of Precambrian age and consist of syenite and nepheline syenite, which have intruded older granite, greenstone, quartzite, and argillite....

Determination of total sulfur content of sedimentary rocks by a combustion method
M. E. Coller, R. K. Leininger
1955, Analytical Chemistry (27) 949-951
Total sulfur has been determined in common sedimentary rocks by a combustion method. Sulfur contents range from 0.001 to 5.0%. Experiments show that the combustion method can be used in analyzing sedimentary rocks in which sulfur is present as sulfide, sulfate, or both. Pulverized samples from 0.100 to 0.500 gram...

Determination of thorium and of rare earth elements in cerium earth minerals and ores
M. K. Carron, D. L. Skinner, R.E. Stevens
1955, Analytical Chemistry (27) 1058-1061
The conventional oxalate method for precipitating thorium and the rare earth elements in acid solution exhibits definite solubilities of these elements. The present work was undertaken to establish conditions overcoming these solubilities and to find optimum conditions for precipitating thorium and the rare earth elements as hydroxides and sebacates. The...
Internal standards in fluorescent X-ray spectroscopy
I. Adler, J. M. Axelrod
1955, Spectrochimica Acta (7) 91-99
The use of internal standards in the analysis of ores and minerals of widely-varying matrix by means of fluorescent X-ray spectroscopy is frequently the most practical approach. Internal standards correct for absorption and enhancement effects except when an absorption edge falls between the comparison lines or a very strong emission...

Webster County, comprising an area of 718 square miles just northwest of the center of Iowa, had a population of 44,241 in 1950, with 25,115 in Fort Dodge, the principal city. Some 94.4 percent of the county is in farm land; corn is the principal crop and is used in...
The pygmy whitefish, Coregonus coulteri, in Lake Superior
Paul H. Eschmeyer, Reeve M. Bailey
1955, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (84) 161-199
Bottom trawling by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service motor vessel Cisco in Lake Superior in 1952–1953 revealed a large population of a tiny whitefish, Coregonus (Prosopium) coulteri, which has been reported previously only from northwestern North America. The hiatus in range, from Lake Superior to the Columbia...

Throughout the world, alluvial soils are among the most fertile and easiest cultivated. Alluvial valleys are routes for transportation either by water or by road and railroad. Rivers are sources of water, a necessity of life. But these river valleys and alluvial deposits, which have so many desirable characteristics and...

Determination of boron in silicates after ion exchange separation
Henry Kramer
1955, Analytical Chemistry (27) 144-145
Existing methods for the determination of boron in silicates are not entirely satisfactory. Separation as the methyl ester is lengthy and frequently erratic. An accurate and rapid method applicable to glass, mineral, ore, and water samples uses ion exchange to remove interfering cations, and boron is determined titrimetrically in the...
Germanium and uranium in coalified wood from upper Devonian black shale
Irving A. Breger, J. M. Schopf
1955, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (7) 287-293
Microscopic study of black, vitreous, carbonaceous material occurring in the Chattanooga shale in Tennessee and in the Cleveland member of the Ohio shale in Ohio has revealed coalified woody plant tissue. Some samples have shown sufficient detail to be identified with the genus Cauixylon....
Field determination of microgram quantities of niobium in rocks
F. N. Ward, A. P. Marranzino
1955, Analytical Chemistry (27) 1325-1328
A rapid, simple, and moderately accurate method was needed for the determination of traces of niobium in rocks. The method developed is based on the reaction of niobium(V) with thiocyanate ion in a 4M hydrochloric acid and 0.5M tartaric acid medium, after which the complex is extracted with ethyl ether....
