1966, Report, National atlas
No abstract available....
Leveling
1966, Topographic instructions of the United States geological survey 2E1-2E5
Geodetic leveling by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a framework of accurate elevations for topographic mapping. Elevations are referred to the Sea Level Datum of 1929....
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...
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...
Observed variations in the strontium concentration of sea water
E.E. Angino, G.K. Billings, N. Andersen
1966, Chemical Geology (1) 145-153
On samples obtained from five widely separated areas of the North Atlantic Ocean 91 determinations of strontium were made. These include surface and deep-water samples from both the cold North Atlantic area and the warm subtropical Caribbean area. The results differ from...
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: A new polarity event and the age of the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary
Richard R. Doell, G. B. Dalrymple
1966, Science (152) 1060-1061
Recent paleomagnetic-radiometric data from six rhyolite domes in the Valles Caldera, New Mexico, indicate that the last change in polarity of the earth's magnetic field from reversed to normal (the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary) occurred at about 0.7 million years ago. A previously undiscovered geomagnetic polarity event, herein named the "Jaramillo normal...
Calcium and bromide contents of natural waters
R.J. Anderson, D. L. Graf, B.F. Jones
1966, Science (153) 1637-1638
The linear relation observed in a log Ca++ versus log Br - plot for subsurface Cl- waters is attributed to ultrafiltration by shale of sea water and fresh water that have passed through sedimentary rocks since their formation. Reactions between these solutions and sedimentary minerals, particularly dolomitization, must have contributed...
Mineral exploration and soil analysis using in situ neutron activation
F. E. Senftle, A.F. Hoyte
1966, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (42) 93-103
A feasibility study has been made to operate by remote control an unshielded portable positive-ion accelerator type neutron source to induce activities in the ground or rock by “in situ” neutron irradiation. Selective activation techniques make it possible to detect some thirty or...
Disequilibrium of the 238U series in basalt
B.L.K. Somayajulu, M. Tatsumoto, J.N. Rosholt, R. J. Knight
1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (1) 387-391
Radioisotope analyses of basalt samples from Hawaii, Japan, and Iwo Jima show that: (1)234U and238U are virtually in radioactive equilibrium, (2)230Th exceeds equilibrium values in all these samples, (3)210Pb concentrations range from 10–200% of the equilibrium values and average 30% deficient, and...
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....
Some alkali and titania analyses of tektites before and after G-1 precision monitoring
D.B. Tatlock
1966, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (30) 123-128
A comparison of 55 older analyses of Australasian tektites with 110 modern precisely monitored analyses suggests that more than half of the older alkali and titania determinations are decidedly inaccurate and misleading. Deviations of the older analyses from the restricted values of the...
Some Debye temperatures from single-crystal elastic constant data
R. A. Robie, J.L. Edwards
1966, Journal of Applied Physics (37) 2659-2663
The mean velocity of sound has been calculated for 14 crystalline solids by using the best recent values of their single‐crystal elastic stiffness constants. These mean sound velocities have been used to obtain the elastic Debye temperatures θDe for these materials. Models of the three wave velocity surfaces for calcite are illustrated....
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,...
Chemical composition of phosphorites of the Phosphoria Formation
R. A. Gulbrandsen
1966, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (30) 769-778
The chemical composition, both major and minor constituents, of 60 samples of phosphorite from the Phosphoria Formation was determined. Major constituents of the average phosphorite are, by weight per cent: SiO2, 11·9; Al2O3, 1·7; Fe2O3,1·1; MgO, 0·3; CaO, 44·0; Na2O, 0·6; K2O, 0·5; total H2O, 2·2; H2O−, 0·6; TiO2, 0·1;...
