Interpretation of thermoluminescence patterns around a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit
Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-774
Thermoluminescence from quartz and feldspar grains in samples collected from the vicinity of a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit show an increase in the importance of high-temperature thermoluminescence relative to low-temperature thermoluminescence of samples which are believed to be former positions of the migrating mineralized front. This effect is believed to...
Stratigraphic sections of Jurassic San Rafael Group and adjacent rocks in Grand County, Utah
James Clifton Wright, Dayton Delbert Dickey
1979, Open-File Report 79-1127
These sections were measured prior to 1960, before adoption of the metric system. Publication was delayed by other assignments of the authors and later by the untimely death of J. C. Wright. They are being released at this time because of the increased interest in the uranium potential of Jurassic...
Regional flood-frequency relations for west-central Florida
M.A. Seijo, R.F. Giovannelli, J. F. Turner
1979, Open-File Report 79-1293
This report presents regional relations for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods on streams in west-central Florida. Flood prediction equations derived cover 20, 5-, 25-, 100-, 200-, and 500-year recurrence intervals. Annual floods for three geographic areas of west-central Florida were found to relate significantly to basin characteristics. Basin...
Petroleum source potential of rocks dredged from the continental slope in the eastern Gulf of Alaska
George Plafker, George Edwin Claypool
1979, Open-File Report 79-295
A bedrock dredging program by the R/V Sea Sounder in 1977 and 1978 along the continental slope in the eastern Gulf of Alaska revealed a previously unknown Eocene sedimentary sequence that includes argillaceous rocks with favorable petroleum source rock characteristics. Seven of 36 dredge hauls that sampled outcrop contain argillaceous...
Petrographic and trace-element data on rocks from the Yemen Arab Republic
William C. Overstreet, Mary M. Donato, Maurice J. Grolier, J. A. Domenico, George L. Crenshaw, G. Chase Tibbitts
1979, Open-File Report 80-132
Petrographic descriptions are given for rocks in the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR), including mainly Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks from the southeastern part of the country, which previously was geologically undescribed. Also included are descriptions of Cretaceous and/or Tertiary lavas of the Yemen Volcanics, Miocene(?) alkali granite, Pliocene caprock of...
Mineral resources of the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area, Polk County, Tennessee and Fannin County, Georgia
John F. Slack, Gertrude C. Gazdik, Maynard L. Dunn
1979, Open-File Report 79-1209
The proposed Big Frog Wilderness is comprised of approximately 1820 hectares (18.2 km2) of mountainous terrain in the Cherokee and Chattahoochee National Forests south of the Ocoee River in Polk County, Tennessee, and Fannin County, Georgia. Rocks of the study area are greenschist-facies metasandstone, meta-arkose, metagraywacke, and dark slate of...
Single-Channel Seismic-Reflection Profiles and Side-Scan Sonar Records Collected During June 8-14, 1977, in the Middle Atlantic Shelf Area
David C. Twichell
1979, Open-File Report 79-580
A cruise aboard the R/V OCEANUS (Cruise 027) was completed by the U.S. Geological Survey during June 8-14, 1977evaluate the presence, extent, and activity of potentially mobile bedforms on the Middle Atlantic Continental Shelf, eastern United States. Based on information collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during·a geophysical survey in...
An economic analysis of selected strategies for dissolved oxygen management: Chattahoochee River, Georgia
John E. Schefter, Robert M. Hirsch
1979, Open-File Report 79-412
Using the Chattahoochee River as an example, a method for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of alternative strategies for dissolved oxygen (DO) management is demonstrated. The conceptual framework for the analysis is suggested by the economic theory of production. The minimum flow of the River and the percentage of the total waste...
Water-resources data index for Osceola National Forest, Florida
Paul R. Seaber, Robert W. Hull
1979, Open-File Report 79-984
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted an intensive investigation from December 1975 to December 1977 of the geohydrology of Osceola National Forest. The primary purpose of that investigation was to provide the geohydrological understanding needed to predict the impact of potential phosphate industry operations in the forest on the natural hydrologic...
Susceptibility of the Memphis water supply to contamination from the pesticide waste-disposal site in northeastern Hardeman County, Tennessee
Donald Robert Rima
1979, Open-File Report 79-750
Public concern has been expressed over the possiblity that leachates from a pesticide waste-disposal site in northeastern Hardeman County, Tennessee, might eventually reach the Memphis area and endanger the city 's water supply. An examination of the possible pathways and means of transport of these contaminants reveals that, the Memphis...
Hydrologic investigations in the Araguaia-Tocantins River basin (Brazil)
Leonard J. Snell
1979, Open-File Report 79-1599
The Araguaia-Tocantins River basin system of central and northern Brazil drains an area of about 770,000 square kilometers and has the potential for supporting large-scale developments. During a short visit to the headquarters of the Interstate Commission for the Araguaia-Tocantins Valley and to several stream-gaging stations in June 1964, the...
A study of uranium favorability of Cenozoic sedimentary rocks, Basin and Range Province, Arizona: Part I. General geology and chronology of pre-late Miocene Cenozoic sedimentary rocks
Robert Bryan Scarborough, Jan Carol Wilt
1979, Open-File Report 79-1429
This study focuses attention on Cenozoic sedimentary rocks in the Basin and Range Province of Arizona. The known occurrences of uranium and anomalous radioactivity in these rocks are associated with sediments that accumulated in a low energy environment characterized by fine-grained clastics, including important tuffaceous materials, and carbonate rocks. Most...
