Metamorphic differentiates in the blackbird mining district, Lemhi County, Idaho
Wayne A. Roberts
1953, Economic Geology (48) 447-456
Quartz pods and quartz veins devoid of economic minerals occur in the cobalt-copper mineralized Blackbird mining district in Lemhi County, Idaho. These barren quartz bodies are found in regionally and thermally metamorphosed rocks of the Yellowjacket formation (Belt series) of Pre-cambrian age and are believed to be derived from the enclosing quartz-biotite and quartz-biotite-garnet-chloritoid schists by metamorphic differentiation. Other rocks that possibly are...

Petrology of granophyre in diabase near Dillsburg, Pennsylvania
Preston E. Hotz
1953, Geological Society of America Bulletin (64) 675-704
Small bodies of granophyre occur in the upper part of diabase bodies of Triassic age in southeastern Pennsylvania. One near Harrisburg was penetrated by a diamond-drill. Drill core specimens show a gradation from diabase to granophyre.New data include 10 chemical analyses, spectrographic determinations of trace elements, and the results of...
The influence of ground‐water storage on the runoff in the San Bernardino and eastern San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California
Harold C. Troxell
1953, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (34) 552-562
The steep and rugged mountains of Southern California contain considerable ground‐water storage. A large portion of the runoff is seepage from this storage The variations in runoff distribution depend on the geology, physiography, and soil cover of these mountain areas....
Volumes And weights of pyroclastic material, lava, and water erupted by Paricutin volcano, Michoacan, Mexico
Carl Fries Jr.
1953, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (34) 603-616
Estimates of the weights of pyroclastic material and lava erupted by Parícutin Volcano from early 1943 to early 1952 have given a pyroclastic weight of some 2230 million metric tons and a lava weight of about 1330 million metric tons, making a total of 3560 million metric tons of solids....

Terminology for stratification and cross-stratification in sedimentary rocks
Edwin D. McKee, Gordon W. Weir
1953, GSA Bulletin (64) 381-390
A terminology is suggested to aid the field geologist in describing the structures of stratified and cross-stratified rock units. Qualitative terms describing the character of rock layering are stratification, stratum, cross-stratification, cross-stratum, set, coset, and composite set. Quantitative terms applying to the thickness of stratification are very thick-bedded, thick-bedded, thin-bedded, very thin-bedded, laminated, and thinly laminated. Quantitative terms...
Carnotite resources of the Dolores bench, Montrose County, Colorado
Daniel Alfred Jobin
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 214
The Dolores bench is about 2 miles northwest of Uravan, Montrose County, Colo. From 1913 to November 1952 about 95,000 short tons of ore averaging 0.40 percent U3O8 and 2.0 percent V2O5 was mined from the Dolores bench. The production represents three periods of activity--1913-18, 1938-43, and 1948-52. The ore deposits...

Data collected at the Topaz Relocation Center provide an excellent record of the development and subsequent disappearance of a cone of depression caused by pumping. This Center occupied temporarily an area of natural ground‐water discharge on the floor of the Sevier Desert in west‐central Utah. Water for a population of 6500 was pumped from artesian wells which tapped aquifers...
