Interstitial water studies on small core samples, Deep Sea Drilling Project: Leg 10
Frank T. Manheim, Fred L. Sayles, Lee S. Waterman
1973, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (10) 615-623
Leg 10 interstitial water analyses provide new indications of the distribution of rock salt beneath the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, both confirming areas previously indicated to be underlain by salt bodies and extending evidence of salt distribution to seismically featureless areas in the Sigsbee Knolls trend and Isthmian...
Effects of temperature on embryonic development of lake herring (Coregonus artedii)
Peter J. Colby, L.T. Brooke
1973, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (30) 799-810
Embryonic development of lake herring (Coregonus artedii) was observed in the laboratory at 13 constant temperatures from 0.0 to 12.1 C and in Pickerel Lake (Washtenaw County, Michigan) at natural temperature regimes. Rate of development during incubation was based on progression of the embryos through 20 identifiable stages. An equation...
Geology and water resources of the Wharton Tract and the Mullica River basin in southern New Jersey
Edward C. Rhodehamel
1973, Special Report 36
The Wharton Tract is an area of 150 square miles located in the Mullica River basin in southern New Jersey's Pine Barrens region. The tract is a relatively flat, low-lying, generally sandy area containing shallowly incised streams. The larger streams are commonly bordered by swamps. The tract was purchased by...
Thickness of the American woodcock eggshell, 1971
J.F. Kreitzer
1973, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (9) 281-286
Eggs or empty shells of the American woodcockwere collected from 10 states in 1971and shell thickness (mean of clutch means) was compared with that of eggs collected from 16 states during the years 1859-1939. The 1971 shells (n = 91) from hatched eggs or those containing fully developed embryos were...
Sediment discharge in the Lake Tahoe basin, California, 1972 water year
Carl G. Kroll
1973, Report
Streamflow and fluvial-sediment discharge data are being collected at selected streams and highway gutters in the Lake Tahoe basin to determine the extent of erosion from highway cuts and to evaluate the effects of various land treatment practices to reduce erosion. Precipitation in the Lake Tahoe area during 1972 was 77...

Hydrologic data presented in this report were collected...
The benthic fauna of the Northern Bering Sea
Robert W. Rowland
1973, Report
The shelled benthic fauna of the northern Bering Sea has been extensively sampled and the taxonomy, distribution and functional role of 105 species of mollusks, two species of barnacles, two species of echinoids and one species of brachiopod havet4pen examined: The major benthic communities were evaluated by cluster analysis. They are: the Balanus rostratus alaskensis...
Interstitial water studies on small core samples, leg 19
F.L. Sayles, L.S. Waterman, Frank T. Manheim
1973, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (19) 871-874
The sediments cored on Leg 19 consist primarily of diatomaceous oozes with variable proportions of volcanic material and terrigenous clays and silts. With a few exceptions, deposition rates are high at these sites, usually exceeding 5cm/103y. The interstitial solutions sampled exhibit compositional changes which previously have been found to characterize...
Interstitial water studies on small core samples, legs 16, 17, and 18
L.S. Waterman, F.L. Sayles, Frank T. Manheim
1973, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (18) 1001-1012
Legs 16, 17, and 18 encountered three groups of sediment types: rapidly deposited biogenic deposits, showing marked changes in interstitial calcium, magnesium, and strontium; slowly deposited biogenic deposits, showing little variability in pore fluids other than elevated silica concentrations; and terrigenous deposits. The latter showed the usual loss of sulfate...
Mantle convection and volcanic periodicity in the pacific; Evidence from Hawaii
H. R. Shaw
1973, Geological Society of America Bulletin (84) 1505-1526
The thermal-feedback theory of mantle melting proposed by Shaw in 1969 is found to be quantitatively consistent with data pertaining to the evolution of the Hawaiian Ridge. Applicable rate factors are estimated from relations between lava volumes and position along the ridge given in this paper and the radio-metric age...

Crandall conglomerate, an unusual stream deposit, and its relation to heart mountain faulting
W. G. Pierce, W. H. Nelson
1973, Geological Society of America Bulletin (84) 2631-2644
The Crandall Conglomerate (Eocene) is a channel deposit, more than 350 ft (100 m) thick, believed to have formed as a result of preliminary movement of the Heart Mountain detachment fault in northwestern Wyoming. Initial movement of the Heart Mountain fault opened a deep rift in which the conglomerate was...
Phosphate in interstitial waters of anoxic sediments: Oxidation effects during sampling procedure
J.T. Bray, O.P. Bricker, B.N. Troup
1973, Science (180) 1362-1364
Oxidation during sampling procedures significantly decreases the inorganic phosphate concentrations of interstitial water rich in iron (II). All sampling and analytical procedures must be carried out in an inert atmosphere. Orthophosphate in the interstitial water of Cheaspeake Bay sediments, in equilibrium with vivianite, is a potential nutrient source for the...

1973, Science (182) 672-680
Apollo 17 landed in a deep graben valley embaying the mountainous highlands southeast of the Serenitatis basin. Impact-generated breccias underlie the massifs adjacent to the valley, and basalt has flooded and leveled the valley floor. The dark mantle inferred from orbital photographs was not recognized as a discrete unit; the...
Notes on the bromine pentafluoride technique of oxygen extraction
Irving Friedman, Jim D. Gleason
1973, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (1) 679-680
The necessity to use a dry box when loading silicate samples into reaction vessels prior to fluorination is eliminated by the use of a simple loading technique. Data presented show the reproducibility of the fluorination reaction using this technique. Sodium fluoride, when added to saline waters prior to fluorination, improves...
Chemical variation related to the stratigraphy of the Columbia River basalt
Thomas L. Wright, Maurice J. Grolier, Don Swanson
1973, GSA Bulletin (84) 371-386
Study of major element chemical analyses of Columbia River basalt leads to a grouping of most of the analyses into 11 chemical types which are distinguished with little overlap on a SiO2-MgO variation diagram. Other diagnostic variation diagrams are total iron (‘FeO’)-MgO, K2O-MgO, and TiO2-MgO.A four-unit informal stratigraphy has been...
Magma Mixing as Illustrated by the 1959 Eruption, Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
Thomas L. Wright
1973, GSA Bulletin (84) 849-858
The 1959 eruption of Kilauea volcano is unique among recent Kilauea summit eruptions (1952 to 1968) in at least two respects: (1) a large collapse of Kilauea summit accompanied the eruption, and (2) the erupted lavas show a complex variation in their bulk chemical composition. Both features suggest that the...
Gravity measurements in the vicinity of Georges Bank
John D. Hendricks, James D. Robb
1973, Geological Society of America Bulletin (84) 3911-3916
A total of 97 new bottom gravity measurements on the continental shelf in the vicinity of Georges Bank was reduced to the simple Bouguer anomaly, using a density of 2.80 gm per cm3 for the correction. Results help substantiate the presence of mafic and felsic intrusive bodies along the northern...
