Test well sites and preliminary evaluation of ground-water potential in Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Donald G. Jordan
1966, Report
Moderate supplies of potable ground water are believed to be available in the Roadtown and Paraquita Bay areas, and small, possibly brackish supplies in the Long Look and West End areas of Tortola. Two water bearing units of the same hydrologic system have the potential of yielding water to wells:...

Soviet books and publications on geological and chemical oceanography, hydrology, and other subjects acquired during the second international oceanographic congress, Moscow, June 1966: titles and some translated contents and notes
F.T. Manheim
1966, Report
The listed publications represent a selection, by no means complete, of recent Soviet work in geological and chemical oceanography. Some works on hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of the continents, as well as a few publications on other subjects, such as geology, geophysics, and biology, also are included....
The design and use of hydrogeologic maps
J.C. Warman, D.R. Wiesnet
1966, Groundwater (4) 25-26
A map should treat the critical problems in a way understandable to the intended reader. Some maps appropriately show only one or two pertinent hydrogeologic parameters. Point‐data maps make little or no interpretation of the data. Four‐dimensional maps‐those that include an elapsed span of time or projection of hydrogeologic variables into the future‐represent a high degree of interpretation of data; they...
Flow probability of New Jersey streams
E.G. Miler
1966, New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply Water Resources Circular 15
This report is one of a series published by the Division of Water Policy and Supply of the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development to make basic water data available in a form that can be readily used by all interested persons. The objective of the present report...
Evidence for an early recent warm interval in northwestern Alaska
David S. McCulloch, David M. Hopkins
1966, Geological Society of America Bulletin (77) 1089-1108
A warm interval that began at least 10,000 years ago and lasted until at least 8300 years ago is recorded in the coastal tundra covered area of northwestern Alaska by the presence of fossil wood of tree size or tree species, fossil beaver-gnawed wood found beyond the modern range of beaver, evidence of ice-wedge melting, buried soils, and soils that...
“Iron Water” from wells: Causes and prevention
M.E. Broom
1966, Groundwater (4) 18-21
Chemical analyses of ground‐water samples taken from differing depths in a four‐county area in east Texas showed a general stratification with respect to dissolved iron, pH and hardness. On the basis of this stratification the waters of the ground‐water reservoir were divided into a shallow zone of oxidation, A; a deep zone of...
Hydrology of limestone terranes in the coastal plain of the Southeastern United States
V. T. Stringfield, H. E. LeGrand
1966, Special Paper of the Geological Society of America (93) 1-46
The very productive limestone aquifers of Tertiary and Quaternary age in the Coastal Plain of the Southeastern States contain a water-table circulation system where aquifers are at or near the land surface; the Tertiary limestone unit is a homoclinal artesian system confined beneath younger beds in coastal areas.The Tertiary limestone...
The system Cu-Ag-S
Brian J. Skinner
1966, Economic Geology (61) 1-26
Compositions on the join Cu 2 S-Ag 2 S were studied with X-ray diffractometer heating stage. Low-temperature phases, which break down at temperatures between 67 degrees and 119 degrees C, are chalcocite, stromeyerite, Cu (sub O.8) Ag (sub 1.2) S, jalpaite, and acanthite. High-temperature phases, all cation-disordered, are hexagonal close-packed (high chalcocite), face-centered cubic...

Cohenite in meteorites: A proposed origin
R. Brett
1966, Science (153) 60-62
Cohenite [(Fe, Ni)3C] is found almost exclusively in meteorites containing from 6 to 8 percent nickel (by weight). On the basis of iron-nickel-carbon phase diagrams at 1 atmosphere and of kinetic data, the occurrence of cohenite within this narrow composition range as a low-pressure metastable phase and the nonoccurrence of...
Crystallization of tholeiitic basalt in Alae Lava Lake, Hawaii
D. L. Peck, T. L. Wright, J.G. Moore
1966, Bulletin Volcanologique (29) 629-655
The eruption of Kilauea Volcano August 21–23, 1963, left 600,000 cubic meters of basaltic lava in a lava lake as much as 15 meters deep in Alae pit crater. Field studies of the lake began August 27 and include repeated core drilling, measurements of temperature in the crust and melt,...
Rare earths in phosphorites: Geochemistry and potential recovery
Z. S. Altschuler, Sol Berman, Frank Cuttitta
1966, Open-File Report 66-3
Rare earths are but trace constituents of marine apatite. However, as millions of tones of such apatite are dissolved annually to make phosphoric acid, an opportunity exists for greatly increasing RE output as by-product of fertilizer production. New, complete, quantitative analysis of RE in representative apatite concentrates reveal that the...

Stream quality in Appalachia as related to coal-mine drainage, 1965
James E. Biesecker, J. Richard George
1966, Circular 526
A stream-quality reconnaissance at 318 locations in May 1965 offered the first opportunity for a contemporaneous regional collection and appraisal of water-quality data in Appalachia. The results provide a means of regional comparison of the influence of coal-mine drainage on stream quality at approximately median streamflow. The results disclose that...
Drifting organisms in the Precambrian sea
D.J. Milton
1966, Science (153) 293-294
Drag marks in the Upper Precambrian Winnall Beds of central Australia were made by semibuoyant flexible objects at least 15 centimeters long, which presumably were algae. This find extends the range of such marks into the Precambrian era and supplements the discovery of microflora in the same sedimentary sequence....
Effects of weathering on the UPb ages of zircon from the Morton Gneiss, Minnesota
T. W. Stern, S. S. Goldich, M. F. Newell
1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (1) 369-371
Weathering has caused large losses of lead from the zircon in the residual clay derived from the Morton Gneiss of southwestern Minnesota, drastically reducing the 206Pb/238U and the 207Pb/235U ages. The 207Pb/206Pb age probably has not been significantly affected. Loss of lead by leaching during weathering has not been adequately...
