Magnetic studies of the Florida peninsula
F.W. Lee, J.H. Swartz
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 297-301
This investigation was undertaken primarily as a pilot‐experiment for gaining information concerning the field‐technique and accuracy which is needed for covering large areas in detail and at the same time economically. Owing to the complex nature of magnetic observations, such a pilot‐study serves, in addition, as a basis for determining...
Phosphate deposits of the United States
George R. Mansfield
1940, Economic Geology (35) 405-429
Different types of phosphate deposits and different sources of phosphate in the United States are briefly discussed. In Florida two types of phosphate are now mined, land pebble and hard rock. The principal characteristics of these types of rock are stated and methods of prospecting, mining and recovery briefly outlined....
