Evaluation of infrared imagery applications to studies of surficial geology - Yellowstone Park
Kenneth Lee Pierce
1968, Open-File Report 68-212
Infrared imagery, in the 3-5 micron band, was obtained during afternoon and post-sunset hours of August 1966 by the H.R.B. Singer Corporation on contract to the U. S. Geological Survey. Analysis of these data reveals that known thermal features such as hot and cold springs, glaciers and snow fields and...

Potential for potash and other evaporite mineral resources in West Pakistan
C.L. Jones
1968, Open-File Report 68-153
Reconnaissance examination of marine evaporites in West Pakistan has revealed a highly favorable resource situation with respect to anhydrite, and a potentially favorable position for potash and sulfur. Further work is needed to evaluate the preliminary interpretations made during the present study. The establishment of a potash resource organization within...
Gold gradients and anomalies in the Pedro Dome-Cleary Summit area, Fairbanks district, Alaska
Robert B. Forbes, H.D. Pilkington, D. B. Hawkins
1968, Open-File Report 68-101
Anomalous gold values have been discovered in hydrothermally altered quartz diorite, quartz monzonite, and quartz mica schist at the head of Fox Creek; and in similarly altered quartz diorite in the Granite Creek area. Channel samples across some of these altered zones have produced anomalous gold values over widths which...

Altered tuffaceous rocks of the Green River Formation in the Piceance Creek Basin, Colorado
Roy Lee Griggs
1968, Open-File Report 68-113
More than 50 ash-fall tuff beds which have altered to analcitized or feldspathized rocks have been found in the upper 500-600 feet of the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation in the Piceance Creek Basin of northwestern Colorado. Similarly altered water-washed tuff occurs as tongues in the uppermost...

A mineral reconnaissance of the Jabal Khida quadrangle, Saudi Arabia
Jesse William Whitlow
1968, Open-File Report 68-325
Reconnaissance of the Jabal Khida quadrangle shows that granite and granodiorite (unit gg), biotite and hornblende granite (unit gr) and alkalic and paralkalic granit (unit gp) divisions for granites seems valid, but that two ages of metamorphic and extrusive rocks are mapped as the Halaben formation (unit ha/hc). Semiquantitative analyses of...
