Pennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous) system of Wyoming
Edwin K. Maughan
1978, Open-File Report 78-377
Pennsylvanian rocks in Wyoming comprise two stratigraphic sequences bounded by regional unconformities. Red mudstone and limestone characterize the strata in the lower sequence, and sandstone and dolomite characterize the strata in the upper sequence. Initial deposits of the lower sequence are-red mudstone probably of no older age than about middle...

Water quality in the Sugar Creek basin, Bloomington and Normal, Illinois
Byron J. Prugh Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-78
Sugar Creek, within the twin cities of Bloomington and Normal, Illinois, has differences in water quantity and quality as a result of urban runoff and overflows from combined sewers.Water-quality data from five primary and eight secondary locations showed three basic types of responses to climatic and hydrologic stresses. Stream temperatures...
A seismic refraction experiment performed in the Melones Reservoir region of the metamorphic belt, central California
James N. Murdock, John C. Roller
1978, Open-File Report 78-131
A seismic refraction experiment was conducted in the metamorphic belt of central California during May 1972. Seven charges were fired during the experiment. Three seismic refraction lines, 75 to 125 km long, were made in the belt. Also, data were gathered for regional travel-time calibrations. The experimental data are presented....
