Thermomagnetic analysis of meteorites, 3. C3 and C4 chondrites
J.M. Herndon, M.W. Rowe, E.E. Larson, D.E. Watson
1976, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (29) 283-290
Thermomagnetic analysis was made on samples of all known C3 and C4 chondrites in a controlled oxygen atmosphere. Considerable variation was noted in the occurrence of magnetic minerals, comparable to the variation observed earlier in the C2 chondrites. Magnetite was found...
A revised “earthquake report” questionnaire
C. Stover, G. Reagor, R. Simon
1976, Seismological Research Letters (8) 18-22
The revised “Earthquake Report” questionnaire introduced here is designed to restrict the replies on the effects of earthquakes as closely as possible to a set of effects that can be evaluated by use of a computer program. Differences in intensity resulting from evaluation by different individuals using their own qualitative...
Earthquakes June-July 1976
W. J. Person
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 31-33
This was a seismically active period, with one great earthquake, four major earthquakes, and several strong shocks worldwide. Many persons were killed and thousands were injured in three separate events-in West Irian (west New Guinea), in Bali, Indonesia, and in northeastern China. A great earthquake (one with a Richter magnitude 8.0...
Monitoring Mount Baker Volcano
S. D. Malone, D. Frank
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 21-25
Hisotrically active volcanoes in the conterminous United States are restricted to the Cascade Range and extend to the Cascade Range and extend from Mount Baker near the Canadian border to Lassen Peak in northern California. Since 1800 A.D, most eruptive activity has been on a relatively small scale and has...
Earthquake history of Rhode Island
C. A. von Hake
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 31-32
Only three shocks (intensity V or greater, Modified Moercalli Scale) have centered in Rhode Island, although several earthquakes in New England and the St.Lawerence Valley have been felt in the State....
Earthquake history of Oklahoma
C. A. von Hake
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 28-30
The strongest and most widely felt earthquake in Oklahoma occurred on April 9, 1952. The intensity VII (Modified Mercalli Scale) tremor was felt over 362,000 sqaure kilometres. A second intensity VII earthquake, felt over a very small area, occurred in October 1956. In addition, 15 other shocks, intensity V or...

Teton Dam flood of June 1976, Moody quadrangle, Idaho
William A. Harenberg, Bruce B. Bigelow
1976, Hydrologic Atlas 568
The failure of the Teton Dam caused extreme flooding along the Teton River, Henrys Fork, and Snake River in southeastern Idaho on June 5-8, 1976. No flooding occurred downstream from American Falls Reservoir. The inundated areas and maximum water-surface elevations are shown in a series of 17 hydrologic atlases. The...
Antimycin: Uptake, distribution, and elimination in brown bullheads (Ictalurus nebulosus)
D.P. Schultz, P.D. Harman
1976, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (33) 1121-1129
Radioactive antimycin was readily taken up in bile and tissues of brown bullheads (Ictalurus nebulosus) exposed to 0.045 μg/ml of 14C-antimycin for as long as 48 h. Bile contained the most and blood the least radioactivity at all sampling periods. The highest concentration of 14C-antimycin in muscle was 0.12 μg/g, after 12 h of exposure. The...
Map showing ground-water conditions in the Aravaipa Valley area, Graham and Pinal Counties, Arizona-1975
J. A. Gould, R. P. Wilson
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-107
This hydrologic map of the Aravaipa Valley area includes about 500 sq mi in southeastern Arizona. Development of the ground-water resources is small, and pumpage is estimated to be less than 3,000 acre-ft annually for irrigation, livestock, and domestic uses. Hydrographs of the water level in selected wells show no...
Mineralogy of ash of some American coals: Variations with temperature and source
R.S. Mitchell, H.J. Gluskoter
1976, Fuel (55) 90-96
Ten samples of mineral-matter residue were obtained by the radio-frequency low-temperature ashing of subbituminous and bituminous coals. The low-temperature ash samples were then heated progressively from 400 °C to 1400 °C at 100 °C intervals. Mineral phases present at each temperature interval were determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. The minerals...

Wildlife diseases: philosophical considerations
M. Friend
L.A. Page, editor(s)
1976, Book chapter, Wildlife diseases
Wildlife diseases are studied because of their adverse impact on human health, agriculture, or wildlife conservation. Viewpoints from these three major areas of concern are not always compatible, yet the ecological nature of disease makes it essential that each is recognized and understood. Within wildlife agencies, resistance or apathy toward...

Conditions in the deeper parts of the hot spring systems of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Alfred Hemingway Truesdell, Robert O. Fournier
1976, Open-File Report 76-428
Yellowstone thermal areas are scattered over an area of nearly 50 x 60 kilometers (Fig. 1) and contain waters of diverse compositions. This has lead to the implicit assumption that Yellowstone consisted of discrete hydrothermal systems (e.g., Fournier and Truesdell, 1970). It is the purpose of this paper to suggest...

Lunar nomenclature: A dissenting note
D.W.G. Arthur
1976, Icarus (27) 571-573
This note reviews the nature of the traditional (Mädler) lunar nomenclature and the recent developments based on the use of more than 2000 named provinces. It appears that the new nomenclature is less efficient than the old in many cases and may lead to an impossible publication situation. The unnecessary...

D.A. Singer
1976, Computers & Geosciences (2) 249-260
A FORTRAN IV program that calculates the area of influence of drill holes or samples with respect to the size and shape of elliptical or circular resource targets is presented. Program options include determination of the degree to which areas within a region have been explored and estimation of probabilities...

1976, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (40) 191-202
The dissolution of Iceland spar in CO2-saturated solutions at 25°C and 1 atm total pressure has been followed by measurement of pH as a function of time. Surface concentrations of reactant and product species have been calculated from bulk fluid data using mass transport theory and a model that accounts...

1976, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (40) 1031-1049
At Naxos, Greece, a migmatite dome is surrounded by schists and marbles of decreasing metamorphic grade. Sillimanite, kyanite, biotite, chlorite, and glaucophane zones are recognized at successively greater distances from the migmatite dome. Quartz-muscovite and quartz-biotite oxygen isotope and mineralogie temperatures range from 350 to 700°C.The metamorphic complex can be...

A.T. Miesch
1976, Computers & Geosciences (1) 147-159
An extended form of the method of Q-mode factor analysis may be used if the rows of the data matrix sum to a constant. The constant row-sum provides a means for scaling the factor model to conform to the units of the original data in such forms as proportions, percentages,...
