Oroville earthquakes: Normal faulting in the Sierra Nevada foothills
C. G. Bufe, F.W. Lester, K.M. Lahr, J.C. Lahr, L. C. Seekins, Thomas C. Hanks
1976, Science (192) 72-74
Aftershocks of the Oroville, California, earthquake of 1 August 1975 define a 16- by 12-kilometer fault plane striking north-south and dipping 60 degrees to the west to a depth of 10 kilometers. Focal mechanisms from P-wave first motions indicate normal faulting with the western, Great Valley side downdropped relative to...
Seismicity and faulting attributable to fluid extraction
R. F. Yerkes, R. O. Castle
1976, Engineering Geology (10) 151-167
The association between fluid injection and seismicity has been well documented and widely publicized. Less well known, but probably equally widespread are faulting and shallow seismicity attributable solely to fluid extraction, particularly in association with petroleum production. Two unequivocable examples of seismicity and faulting associated with fluid extraction in the...
Morphologic interpretation of fertile structures in glossopterid gymnosperms
J. M. Schopf
1976, Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology (21) 25-64
The problem of determining affinity among glossopterid gymnosperms is beset by deficiencies in preservation, natural dissociation of parts, and scarcity of features assuredly critical for morphologic comprarison. The glossopterids probably are not a very heterogeneous group of plants, but this is difficult to prove. The Gondwana glacial "hiatus" has resulted...

Radiocarbon dates indicate rates of graben downfaulting, San Jacinto Valley, California
B. E. Lofgren, Meyer Rubin
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 45-46
Recent radiocarbon dates for wood samples collected from three depths in San Jacinto Valley graben indicate active tectonic downfaulting during the past 42,000 yr. The flood plain of graded San Jacinto River, entering the valley from the southeast and leaving toward the west, serves as a reference datum across the...
Relation of water level and fish availability to wood stork reproduction in the southern Everglades, Florida
James A. Kushlan, John C. Ogden, Aaron L. Higer
1975, Open-File Report 75-434
The wood stork is a species of colonial wading bird in the Everglades that is most sensitive to changes in the availability of food. Previous studies have shown that the initiation and success of wood stork nesting depends on high densities of fish concentrated in ponds and other catchment basins...

Estimating mean streamflow in the Duchesne River basin, Utah
R.W. Cruff
1975, Technical Publication 48
Monthly, annual, and long-term mean streamflow were estimated for streams in the Duchesne River basin by use of the monthly measurement method. Monthly measurements were attempted at 44 sites in the basin during the 1971 and 1972 water years. Some measurements could not be made because some sites were not...
