Alteration and vein mineralization, Ladwig uranium mine, Jefferson County, Colorado
Alan R. Wallace
1979, Open-File Report 79-1615
Uranium ore at the Ladwig mine, Jefferson County, Colo., occurs in steeply dipping, northwest-striking faults and related fractures with a carbonate-adularia assemblage that forms in altered wallrocks and fills veins. The faults occur between large intrusive pegmatites and garnetiferous gneisses of Precambrian age, and were reactivated as the result of...
Hydrologic evaluation of the Alton reclamation-study site, Alton coal field, Utah
G. W. Sandberg
1979, Open-File Report 79-346
This investigation was conducted from July 1974 to September 1977 to define general hydrologic conditions at a reclamation-study site in the Alton coal field near Kanab, Utah. The average annual streamflow through the area was less than 600 acre-feet (0.7 cubic hectometer), and the water carried little sediment except during...

Occurrence of uranium in rocks of the intrusive complex at Ekiek Creek, western Alaska
Alan R. Wallace
1979, Open-File Report 79-1653
Uranium in the Ekiek Creek Complex of western Alaska is related to a niobium-rich pyrochlore in the nepheline syenite of the complex. The complex consists of an aegirine-phlogopite pyroxenite that has been intruded and partly replaced by nepheline syenite. The contact zone between the two igneous units varies from a...
Investigation of the Hosgri fault, offshore southern California, Point Sal to Point Conception
C. M. Payne, O. E. Swanson, B. A. Schell
1979, Open-File Report 79-1199
A high-resolution seismic reflection survey of the inner continental shelf between Point Sal and Point Conception has revealed faults that displace post-Wisconsin strata (less than 17,000-20,000 years). These faults are the Hosgri fault, the Offshore Lompoc fault, and smaller unnamed faults. Faults trending offshore from the adjacent shoreline such as...
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...

The purpose of this data summary is to compile and make available preliminary data acquired from a network of seismic stations (Tarr and King, 1976) in order to facilitate current studies of earthquake occurrence. ...
Borehole gravity surveys in native-sulfur deposits, Culberson and Pecos counties, Texas
James W. Schmoker, Stephen L. Robbins
1979, Open-File Report 79-361
Native-sulfur deposits in west Texas are heterogeneous, with sulfur content and formation properties varying significantly over small vertical and horizontal distances. The zone of recovery of the Frasch process extends tens or even hundreds of feet around each recovery well, but the investigation depth of most wire-line logs is measured...

A short history of the development and operation of the Verna well field in Florida is presented. Also included are geological , drillers ' and selected geophysical logs of test and production wells; chemical analyses; specific capacity tests; pumpage; physical dimensions of wells; and source for other data available as...
Hydrologic data from a deep test well, City of Sarasota, Florida
Horace Sutcliffe Jr.
1979, Open-File Report 79-1275
The city of Sarasota drilled a test well to a depth of 3,513 feet at the city's wastewater-treatment facility in downtown Sarasota. The test well was drilled to determine the feasibility of disposing of liquid waste from the city's secondary treatment plant. Drilling of the test well began in July...

Decollement in the southern Allegheny Plateau of Pennsylvania
Howard A. Pohn, Terri L. Purdy
1979, Open-File Report 79-1321
Recent field investigations in the Allegheny Plateau north of Williamsport, Pennsylvania have shown the presence of both southward dipping, low-angle thrust faults translated to the north and northward dipping back or antithectic thrusts translated to the south at the leading (north) edge of Barclay syncline. The presence of these thrusts,...
Hydrogeology of the Gatlinburg area, Tennessee
Ann Zurawski
1979, Open-File Report 79-1167
A study of ground-water availability in the Gatlinburg area, Tenn., was undertaken to improve concepts of ground-water occurrence in the Blue Ridge and demonstrate that ground water is present in sufficient quantities to provide an alternative to surface water as a source of supply. Of 25 test wells, 8 produced...
