Notes on some experiments on the application of subtractive compensation to USGS seismic magnetic tape recording and playback systems
Jerry P. Eaton
1975, Open-File Report 75-663
The purpose of these experiments is to lay the groundwork for the implementation of subtractive compensation of the USGS seismic network tape playbacks utilizing the Develco model 6203 discriminators at a x1 playback speed. Although the Develco discriminators were designed for this application and a matching Develco compensation discriminator was...
Selected stratigraphic sections of Cambrian and Ordovician rocks in Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas
Philip Thayer Hayes
1975, Open-File Report 75-178
Information from 68 surface localities that I visited was used in the preparation of a report on the Cambrian and Ordovician rocks of Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas (Hayes, 1975). Descriptions of the stratigraphic sequence at many of these localities have been published in various reports and a majority...
Stratigraphy and paleontology of coal beds in the Ghazij Shale, Sor Range-Daghari Coal Field, Quetta Division, Pakistan
Edward B. Fritz, M.R. Khan
1975, Open-File Report 75-274
Coal mine tunnels and surface sections in the Ghazij Shale of early Eocene age in the coal field near Quetta, Pakistan, were sampled in detail in order to make a foraminiferal analysis. This analysis and consequent correlations suggest that the coal seams are lenticular and have little lateral continuity. The...

1975, Open-File Report 75-365
Ground water in the Verdigris River basin occurs in consolidated rocks and unconsolidated deposits ranging in age from Mississippian to Quaternary. Water for municipal, industrial, and irrigation supplies generally can be obtained in limited quantities from the alluvial deposits in the stream valleys. Except for water in the alluvial deposits...

Edward Huntington Cobb
1975, Open-File Report 75-628
These summaries of references are designed to aid in library research on metallic and nonmetallic (other than mineral fuels and construction materials) mineral occurrences in 11 quadrangles in northern Alaska. All references to published and open-filed reports of the Geological Survey, to most published and open-filed reports of the U.S....
Land subsidence and tectonism, Raft River Valley, Idaho
Ben Elder Lofgren
1975, Open-File Report 75-585
A comparison of 1974 leveling data with elevations established 40 years earlier reveals two types of vertical ground movement which have occurred in Raft River Valley, Idaho: (1) regional differential movement of about 0.22 ft (6.4 cm), apparently due to tectonism, and (2) extensive land subsidence of as much as...
Water availability, Jefferson County, Alabama
Alfred L. Knight
1975, Open-File Report 75-461
The average annual precipitation in Jefferson County is about 53 inches (1,346.2 millimeters) or about 2,820 mgd (million gallons per day), which is equivalent to 124 m3/s (cubic meters per second). Part of the rainfall (about 1,130 mgd or 50 m3/s) runs off directly into streams, and the remaining 1,690...

Age and tectonic significance of volcanic rocks on St. Matthew Island, Bering Sea, Alaska
William Wallace Patton Jr., Marvin A. Lanphere, Thomas P. Miller, Richard A. Scott
1975, Open-File Report 75-150
Reconnaissance investigations of the heretofore little known volcanic assemblage on St. Matthew Island provide significant information on the tectonic history of the Bering Sea shelf. St. Matthew Island is made up of approximately 500 m of subaerial calc-alkaline volcanic rocks ranging in composition from high-alumina basalt to rhyolite. Four K-Ar...
