Titanium deposits in alkalic igneous rocks
Norman Herz
1975, Open-File Report 75-35
Many types of alkalic rocks are enriched in Ti02 relative to the average for the crust. Silicate minerals in these rocks may have high Ti02 contents, but the oxides ilmenite, rutile, brookite, and perovskite are also characteristic primary phases. These tend to be higher in niobium than are the same...

Evaluation and proposed study of potential ground-water supplies, Gallup area, New Mexico
William L. Hiss
1975, Open-File Report 75-522
The ground-water potential of 5 areas in central-western New Mexico within 85 miles (135 km) of Gallup, N. Mex. was evaluated by reviewing the published literature, inspecting aerial and space photographs, and interviewing ranchers and personnel employed by well-drilling and mineral-exploration companies by telephone. The San Andres Limestone and underlying...

A water-quality assessment of the Burnham Creek Watershed, Polk County, Minnesota
M.R. Have
1975, Open-File Report 75-647
A water-quality assessment of the Burnham Creek watershed, Polk County, Minn., was made in May 1975. Surface waters were calcium magnesium bicarbonate types with 0.11 mg/liter or less of nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen and 0.10 mg/liter or less of total phosphorous. Fecal coliform bacteria concentrations were between 3 and 720...

1975, Open-File Report 75-161
Vein-type deposits of antimony ore, consisting of stibnite and quartz, are found in the hanging wall of faults cutting slate of probable Miocene age 15 miles northeast of Qila Abdullah in the Quetta-Pishin District. The ore is associated with zones of oxidized slate. Although the known deposits are small, the...

Catalog of earthquakes in the Lake Mead area, Nevada-Arizona, for the period from July 10, 1972, to December 6, 1973
William Hung Kan Lee, E.E. Matamoros
1975, Open-File Report 75-15
Lake Mead is one of the world's largest reservoirs and was created by the construction of Hoover (formerly Boulder) Dam in the 1930's. Earthquakes were felt in September 1936, a few weeks after Lake Mead had reached its annual peak of about 100 m in maximum water depth. At the...
Water availability of Blount County, Alabama
Robert J. Faust, Joe R. Harkins
1975, Open-File Report 75-453
Ground water is obtained mostly from limestone and dolomite aquifers along the Sequatchie anticline and Murphrees Valley anticline and. from sandstone aquifers in Sand Mountain and Blount Mountain synclinal areas. Wells tapping some limestone and dolomite aquifers produce as much as 1.4 mgd (million gallons per day). Wells completed in...

Environmental tritium in the Edwards Aquifer, central Texas 1963-71
Frederick Joseph Pearson, Paul L. Rettman, T.A. Wyerman
1975, Open-File Report 74-362
Tritium concentrations of samples from 50 wells and springs in the Edwards aquifer in the San Antonio area of Texas have been analysed. Tritium now in the aquifer is partly natural cosmic ray produced tritium, but most is tritium produced by atmospheric thermonuclear tests in the 1950's and early 1960's....

1975, Open-File Report 75-361
High-quality lignite has been mined in small quantity from rocks of early Tertiary age in the Lakhra anticline area for at least 20 years, but because coal outcrops are poor or nonexistent, the extent of the field was not known. However, between 1953 and 1958, five oil test holes penetrated...
