Stratigraphy of the Cache Formation (Pliocene and Pleistocene) in Clear Lake Basin, Lake County, California
Michael J. Rymer
1978, Open-File Report 78-924
Recent geologic mapping in the Clear Lake basin shows that the nonmarine Cache Formation can be subdivided into several members. New names are herein informally used for three distinct deposits called the B, L, and K members. The three members are geographically separate, except where the L member locally unconformably...
Relation of Mercury, Uranium, and Lithium Deposits to the McDermitt Caldera Complex, Nevada-Oregon
James J. Rytuba, Richard K. Glanzman
1978, Open-File Report 78-926
The McDermitt caldera complex, located along the Nevada-Oregon border, is a Miocene collapse structure 45 kilometer in diameter. Large-volume rhyolitic and peralkaline ash-flow tuffs were erupted from 17.9 to 15.8 m.y. ago, leading to the formation of overlapping and nested calderas. Emplacement of rhyolitic ring domes, located primarily along the...

A FORTRAN algorithm for correcting normal resistivity logs for borehole diameter and mud resistivity
James Henry Scott
1978, Open-File Report 78-669
The FORTRAN algorithm described in this report was developed for applying corrections to normal resistivity logs of any electrode spacing for the effects of drilling mud of known resistivity in boreholes of variable diameter. The corrections are based on Schlumberger departure curves that are applicable to normal logs made with...

Fission-track dating of the Climax and Gold Meadows stocks, Nye County, Nevada
Charles W. Naeser, Florian Maldonado
1978, Open-File Report 78-419
Fission-track ages indicate an age of 101 m.y. for the Climax stock and a minimum age of 93.6 m.y. for the Gold Meadows stock, both at the Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada. Younger fission-track ages for apatite concentrates suggest that the stocks have been within 4 km of the...
Manganese nodule resources in the northeastern equatorial Pacific

1978, Open-File Report 78-814
Recent publication of maps at a scale of 1:1,000,000 of the northeastern equatorial Pacific region showing publicly available information on the nickel-plus-copper content of manganese nodules has made it possible to delineate the limits of the prime area between the Clarion and Clipperton fracture zones which has been the focus...

Regional and local networks of horizontal control, Cerro Prieto geothermal area, Mexico
Bruce L. Massey
1978, Open-File Report 78-929
The Cerro Prieto geothermal area in the Mexicali Valley 30 km southeast of Mexicali, Baja California, is probably deforming due to (1) the extraction of large volumes of steam and hot water, and (2) active tectonism. Two networks of precise horizontal control were established in Mexicali Valley by the U.S....
