Preservation of cycad and Ginkgo pollen
N. O. Frederiksen
1978, Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology (25) 163-179
Pollen grains of Ginkgo, Cycas, and Encephalartos were chemically treated together with pollen of Quercus, Alnus, and Pinus, the latter three genera being used as standards. The experiments showed that: (1) boiling the pollen for 8-10 hours in 10% KOH had little if any effect on any of the grains;...
An automated procedure for the simultaneous determination of specific conductance and pH in natural water samples
D. E. Eradmann, Howard E. Taylor
1978, Analytica Chimica Acta (99) 269-274
An automated, continuous-flow system is utilized to determine specific conductance and pH simultaneously in natural waters. A direct electrometric procedure is used to determine values in the range pH 4–9. The specific conductance measurements are made with an electronically modified, commercially available conductivity meter interfaced to a separate module containing...
Habitat use by prairie raccoons during the waterfowl breeding season
E.K. Fritzell
1978, Journal of Wildlife Management (42) 118-127
Mobility and habitat use of raccoons (Procyon lotor) in an intensively farmed area of the prairie pothole region were studied during the waterfowl breeding seasons (April-July) of 1973-75. Over 5700 locations of 30 raccoons were analyzed. Movement patterns varied with sex, age, and reproductive status. Adult males moved regularly throughout...
Changes in submerged aquatic macrophyte populations at the head of Chesapeake Bay, 1958-1975
S. Bayley, Vernon D. Stotts, P. F. Springer, J. Steenis
1978, Estuaries (1) 171-182
Submerged aquatic plant populations in the Susquehanna Flats of the Chesapeake Bay were followed for 18 years. An exotic species, eurasian water milfoil, Myriophyllum spicatum, increased dramatically from 1958 to 1962; at the same time the dominant native species declined. After 1962, milfoil populations declined and the native rooted aquatics...
Aspects of raccoon (Procyon lotor) social organization
E.K. Fritzell
1978, Canadian Journal of Zoology (56) 260-271
Spatial and temporal relationships among members of a raccoon (Procyon lotor) population were studied during spring and summer in east-central North Dakota during 1973–1975. Radio telemetry was used to locate 48 raccoons 6443 times. Livetrapping results and other observations suggested that most raccoons in the area were radio equipped; densities...
Strontium isotopes in basalts from the Pacific Ocean basin
C. E. Hedge
1978, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (38) 88-94
Basalts being erupted in the Pacific Ocean Basin vary in Sr isotopic composition in a simple geographic pattern. 87Sr/86Sr increases away from the East Pacific Rise to very high values for islands in the south-central Pacific. The 87Sr/86Sr variations are almost certainly related...
The potential source of lead in the Permian Kupferschiefer bed of Europe and some selected Paleozoic mineral deposits in the Federal Republic of Germany
K.H. Wedepohl, M.H. Delevaux, B. R. Doe
1978, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (65) 273-281
New lead isotopic compositions have been measured for Paleozoic bedded and vein ore deposits of Europe by the high precision thermal emission (triple filament) technique. Eleven samples have been analyzed from the Upper Permian Kupferschiefer bed with representatives from Poland to England, three samples from the Middle Devonian Rammelsberg deposit...
U.S. Geological Survey offshore program of resource and geo-environmental studies and topical investigations, Pacific-Arctic region
David William Scholl
1978, Open-File Report 78-422
The Geological Survey's marine geology investigations in the Pacific-Arctic area are presented in this report in the context of the underlying socio-economic problem of expanding the domestic production of oil and gas and other mineral and hard- and soft-rock resources while maintaining acceptable standards in the marine environment. The primary...
Orthogonal mapping: A computer program for quantifying shape differences
T. Huffman, R. A. Christopher, J. E. Hazel
1978, Computers & Geosciences (4) 121-130
Quantitative differences in the shape of two or more objects can be obtained by Orthogonal Mapping provided coincidental or analogous points can be identified on each object. The least-squares difference between each set of analogous points is determined by use of a projective transformation of a set of measured points...
Selected uranium and uranium-thorium occurrences in New Hampshire
Wallace A. Bothner
1978, Open-File Report 78-482
Secondary uranium mineralization occurs in a northwest-trending fracture zone in the Devonian Concord Granite in recent rock cuts along Interstate Highway 89 near New London, New Hampshire. A detailed plane table map of this occurrence was prepared. Traverses using total gamma ray scintillometers throughout the pluton of Concord Granite identified...
Quality of water in Pascagoula and Escatawpa Rivers, Jackson County, Mississippi
Gene A. Bednar
1978, Open-File Report 78-913
The chemical and physical properties and the range of concentrations of most constituents in water in the Pascagoula and Escatawpa Rivers during the period May 17-19, 1977, varied rapidly between high and low tides, primarily as the result of interactions of freshwater inflow with highly mineralized Gulf waters. The water...
Selected ground-water data, Bonneville Salt Flats and Pilot Valley, western Utah
Gregory C. Lines
1978, Utah Basic-Data Release 30
This report contains ground-water data collected at wells and springs on the Bonneville Salt Flats and in Pilot Valley, western Utah. Most of the data were collected during a study of the hydrology and surface morphology of these two salt-crust areas during the period July 1975 - June 1977. The...
Applications of the VLF induction method for studying some volcanic processes of Kilauea volcano, Hawaii
C.J. Zablocki
1978, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (3) 155-195
The very low-frequency (VLF) induction method has found exceptional utility in studying various volcanic processes of Kilauea volcano, Hawaii because: (1) significant anomalies result exclusively from ionically conductive magma or still-hot intrusions (> 800??C) and the attendant electrolytically conductive hot groundwater; (2) basalt flows forming the bulk of Kilauea have...
Formation of lunar basin rings
C. A. Hodges, D.E. Wilhelms
1978, Icarus (34) 294-323
The origin of the multiple concentric rings that characterize lunar impact basins, and the probable depth and diameter of the transient crater have been widely debated. As an alternative to prevailing “megaterrace” hypotheses, we propose that the outer scarps or mountain rings that delineate the topographic rims of basins—the Cordilleran...
Minerals produced during cooling and hydrothermal alteration of ash flow tuff from Yellowstone drill hole Y-5
T. E. C. Keith, L.J.P. Muffler
1978, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (3) 373-402
A rhyolitic ash-flow tuff in a hydrothermally active area within the Yellowstone caldera was drilled in 1967, and cores were studied to determine the nature and distribution of primary and secondary mineral phases. The rocks have undergone a complex history of crystallization and hydrothermal alteration since their emplacement 600,000 years...
Interpretation of a Landsat image of an unusual flood phenomenon in Australia
Charles J. Robinove
1978, Remote Sensing of Environment (7) 219-225
A Landsat image of part of the flooded area of Cooper Creek, Queensland, Australia, in February 1974, shows large dark areas within the flooded valley. The dark areas are believed to be wet, but unflooded, areas of dark alluvial soil. These striking features, which have not previously been identified on...
The crystal structure and thermal history of orthopyroxene from lunar anorthosite 15415
H. T. Evans Jr., Huebner J. Stephen, J.A. Konnert
1978, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (37) 476-484
A single crystal of untwinned orthopyroxene from lunar anorthosite sample 15415, with composition (Mg1.14Fe0.80Mn0.02Ca0.04)(Si1.97Al0.03)O6, has a unit cell in space groupPbca witha = 18.310(15)Å,b = 8.904(10)Å,c = 5.214(7)Å, containing 2 formula units. A set of 742 counter-measured intensity data made with MoKα radiation has been used to refine the crystal structure in isotropic thermal mode...
