Interstitial solutions and diagenesis in deeply buried marine sediments: Results from the Deep Sea Drilling Project
F.L. Sayles, F.T. Manheim
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 103-127
Through the Deep Sea Drilling Project samples of interstitial solutions of deeply buried marine sediments throughout the World Ocean have been obtained and analyzed. The studies have shown that in all but the most slowly deposited sediments pore fluids exhibit changes in composition upon burial. These changes can be grouped...

Robert O. Castle, Jack P. Church, Michael R. Elliot, Nancy L. Morrison
1975, Tectonophysics (29) 127-140
Comparative elevations referred chiefly to a tidal bench mark with a history of relatively positive movement show that much of the Transverse Ranges of southern California sustained major changes in elevation both before and in association with the ML 6.4 San Fernando earthquake of February 9, 1971. Preseismic changes in...
Rare earths in the Leadville Limestone and its marble derivates
J.C. Jarvis, T.R. Wildeman, N.G. Banks
1975, Chemical Geology (16) 27-37
Samples of unaltered and metamorphosed Leadville Limestone (Mississippian, Colorado) were analyzed by neutron activation for ten rare-earth elements (REE). The total abundance of the REE in the least-altered limestone is 4–12 ppm, and their distribution patterns are believed to be dominated by...

David H. Peterson, T. J. Conomos, W. W. Broenkow, Patrick C. Doherty
1975, Estuarine and Coastal Marine Science (3) 1-11
Variations in Sacramento-San Joaquin River discharge into northern San Francisco Bay causes shifts in location of the bottom density current null zone. At a river flow of 2000 m3/s this null zone is approximately 20 km from the seaward end of the estuary,...
Mercury distribution in ancient and modern sediment of northeastern Bering Sea
C.H. Nelson, D.E. Pierce, Kam Leong, F.F.H. Wang
1975, Marine Geology (18) 91-104
Reconnaissance sampling of surface and subsurface sediment to a maximum depth of 80 m below the sea floor shows that typical values of 0.03 p.p.m. and anomalies of 0.2-1.3 p.p.m. mercury have been present in northeastern Bering Sea since Early Pliocene time. Values are highest in modern beach (maximum 1.3...
Thermomagnetic analysis of meteorites, 2. C2 chondrites
D.E. Watson, E.E. Larson, J.M. Herndon, M.W. Rowe
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (27) 101-107
Samples of all eighteen of the known C2 chondrites have been analyzed thermomagnetically. For eleven of these, initial Fe3O4 content is low (generally <1%) and theJs-T curves are irreversible. The heating curves show variable greater (up to 10 times) than it is initially. This...
Canister cryogenic system for cooling germanium semiconductor detectors in borehole and marine probes
G. R. Boynton
1975, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (123) 599-603
High resolution intrinsic and lithium-drifted germanium gamma-ray detectors operate at about 77–90 K. A cryostat for borehole and marine applications has been designed that makes use of prefrozen propane canisters. Uses of such canisters simplifies cryostat construction, and the rapid exchange of canisters...

Short chain aliphatic acid anions in oil field waters and their contribution to the measured alkalinity
L.M. Willey, Y.K. Kharaka, T. S. Presser, J. B. Rapp, I. Barnes
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 1707-1711
High alkalinity values found in some formation waters from Kettleman North Dome oil field are due chiefly to acetate and propionate ions, with some contribution from higher molecular weight organic acid ions. Some of these waters contain no detectable bicarbonate alkalinity. For waters...
Sandrewia, n. gen., a problematical plant from the Lower Permian of Texas and Kansas
S.H. Mamay
1975, Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology (20) 75-83
Sandrewia, n. gen., monotypified by S. texana, n. sp., is a plant from Lower Permian beds of north-central Texas and east-central Kansas. It is characterized by stout axes with spirally disposed, laxly inserted, petiolate leaves; the laminae are broadly flabelliform with coarse, open venation....
Age of amphibolites associated with alpine peridotites in the Dinaride ophiolite zone, Yugoslavia
M. A. Lanphere, R. G. Coleman, S. Karamata, J. Pamic
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (26) 271-276
Amphibolites associated with alpine peridotites in the Central Ophiolite zone in Yugoslavia have K-Ar ages of 160–170 m.y. These amphibolites and associated peridotites underwent deep-seated metamorphism prior to tectonic emplacement into the sedimentary-volcanic assemblage of the Dinarides. The alpine peridotites and associated...

Calculated geochronology and stress field orientations along the Hawaiian chain
E.D. Jackson, H. R. Shaw, K.E. Bargar
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (26) 145-155
A new method has been discovered for calculating ages of the main shield building stages of volcanoes along the Hawaiian chain from Kilauea to the Hawaiian-Emperor bend. The method is based on a graphical technique for hypothetical subtraction of distance intervals that...
Uranium determination in natural water by the fissiontrack technique
G.M. Reimer
1975, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (4) 425-431
The fission track technique, utilizing the neutron-induced fission of uranium-235, provides a versatile analytical method for the routine analysis of uranium in liquid samples of natural water. A detector is immersed in the sample and both are irradiated. The fission track density observed...
Trace element evaluation of a suite of rocks from Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
R. A. Zielinski
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 713-734
Reunion Island consists of an olivine-basalt shield capped by a series of flows and intrusives ranging from hawaiite through trachyte. Eleven rocks representing the total compositional sequence have been analyzed for U, Th and REE. Eight of the rocks (group 1) have positive-slope, parallel, chondrite-normalized REE fractionation patterns. Using a...

David R. Wolfert, Wolf-Dieter N. Busch, Carl T. Baker
1975, Ohio Journal of Science (75) 118-125
Nearly 2,000 fish representing 21 species were captured with experimental gillnets on Kelleys Island Shoal during the spawning and incubation periods of walleyes (Stizostedion v. vitreum) in 1969-71. A total of 794 stomachs were examined. Four species contained walleye eggs: yellow perch (Perca flavescens), spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius), stonecat (Noturus...

A.B. Sargeant, W.K. Pfeifer, S.H. Allen
1975, Journal of Wildlife Management (39) 30-39
Systematic aerial searches were flown on transects to locate adult red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), pups, and rearing dens on 559.4 km2 (six townships) in eastern North Dakota during mid-May and mid-June each year from 1969 through 1973 and during mid-April 1969 and early May 1970. The combined sightings of foxes...
Death feigning by ducks in response to predation by red foxes (Vulpes fulva)
Alan B. Sargeant, L. E. Eberhardt
1975, American Midland Naturalist (94) 108-119
Predation by captive red foxes (Vulpes fulva) on approximately 50 ducks comprised of five species was observed in tests conducted at the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, Jamestown, North Dakota. Most ducks were attacked from a rear or lateral position and seized in the cervical or thoracic region. All birds...
Use of elevated nest baskets by ducks
Harold A. Doty, F.B. Lee, A.D. Kruse
1975, Wildlife Society Bulletin (3) 68-73
Open-top nest baskets were mounted on upright metal poles in various wetlands to assess the value of baskets as a potential technique for increasing duck nest success. Observations were made from 1966-1968 in North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and were continued through 1973 in North Dakota. Baskets were...
Fitting Richards' curve to data of diverse origins
Douglas H. Johnson, A.B. Sargeant, S.H. Allen
1975, Growth (39)
Published techniques for fitting data to nonlinear growth curves are briefly reviewed, most techniques require knowledge of the shape of the curve. A flexible growth curve developed by Richards (1959) is discussed as an alternative when the shape is unknown. The shape of this curve is governed by a specific...
