Isotopic composition of carbon and hydrogen in some Apollo 14 and 15 lunar samples
Irving Friedman, Kenneth G. Hardcastle, Jim D. Gleason
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 7-12
Isotopic composition of carbon and hydrogen in some Apollo 14 and 15 lunar samples was determined by use of a newly constructed combustion line that yields low blanks for CO2 and H2. The results from combustion of fines and breccia from Apollo 14 lunar samples and of fines, breccia, and basalt from Apollo 15...
Movement and recapture of parasitic-phase sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) tagged in the St. Marys River and Lakes Huron and Michigan, 1963-67
Harry H. Moore, Frederick H. Dahl, Aarne K. Lamsa
1974, Technical Report 27
Recoveries of 477 (11.8%) of 4,048 tagged parasitic-phase sea lampreys showed that lampreys moved extensively and that interchange between the Great Lakes was common. Of 93 recoveries from 2,265 tagged lampreys released below the navigation locks in the St. Marys River, 80 were in Lake Huron, 12 in Lake Superior,...
Control of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in Lake Superior, 1953-70
Bernard R. Smith, J. James Tibbles, B. G. H. Johnson
1974, Technical Report 26
The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) gained entrance into Lake Superior in the early 1940's, and began making drastic inroads on the fish stocks by the early 1950's. Serious efforts to control the parasite began in 1953 with the installation of electrical barriers in streams to block spawning runs. Control measures...

Age, growth, sexual maturity, and food of channel catfish in central Lake Oahe, 1968-69
Victor J. Starostka, William R. Nelson
1974, Technical Paper 81
Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, were collected with gill nets, trawl, and trap nets at three localities in Lake Oahe for the study of year-class strength, growth in length and weight, age composition, sexual maturity, and food. Fish were recruited to all the collection gears at age II. Relatively strong year...
A probe for sampling interstitial waters of stream sediments and bog soils
G.A. Nowlan, C. Carollo
1974, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (3) 199-205
A probe for sampling interstitial waters of stream sediments and bog soils is described. Samples can be obtained within a stratigraphic interval of 2–3 cm, to a depth of 60–80 cm, and with little or no contamination of the samples by sediment or...
40Ar/39Ar age spectra of some undisturbed terrestrial samples
G. Brent Dalrymple, M. A. Lanphere
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 715-738
40Ar/39Ar age spectra and 40Ar/36Ar vs 39Ar/36Ar isochrons were determined by incremental heating for 11 terrestrial rocks and minerals whose geology indicates that they represent essentially undisturbed systems. The samples include muscovite, biotite, hornblende, sanidine, plagioclase, dacite, diabase and basalt and range in age from...
Reference samples for the earth sciences
F.J. Flanagan
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 1731-1744
A revised list of reference samples of interest to geoscientists has been extended to include samples for the agronomist, the archaeologist and the environmentalist. In addition to the source from which standard samples may be obtained, references or pertinent notes for some samples are included.The number of rock reference samples...
Geophysical evidence for the intersection of the St Paul, Cape Palmas and Grand Cess fracture zones with the continental margin of Liberia, West Africa
John C. Behrendt, J. Schlee, James M. Robb
1974, Nature (248) 324-326
PUBLISHED reconstructions of Gondwana continent1 (Fig. la) show a gap in fit near the junction of the Americas and Africa. To study this critical area, the Unitedgeo I made geophysical measurements and collected rock samples across the continental margin of Liberia (USGS-IDOE cruise leg 5) in November...
The regolith at the Apollo 15 site and its stratigraphic implications
M. H. Carr, C.E. Meyer
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 1183-1197
Regolith samples from the Apollo 15 landing site are described in terms of two major fractions, a homogeneous glass fraction and a non-homogeneous glass fraction. The proportions of different components in the homogeneous glass fraction were determined directly by chemical analyses of individual...
Martian volcanism: Additional observations and evidence for pyroclastic activity
M. West
1974, Icarus (21) 1-11
Inspection of the Mariner 9 B-camera (resolution 100–200m) and A-camera (resolution 1–2km) photographs of Mars reveals numerous analogs of terrestrial and lunar volcanic features. In addition to the exceptionally large constructional features in the Tharsis region, many other large and small landforms present...
Problems encountered in the use of neutron methods for elemental analysis on planetary surfaces
F. Senftle, P. Philbin, R. Moxham, G. Boynton, J. Trombka
1974, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (117) 435-443
From experimental studies of gamma rays from fast and thermal neutron reactions in hydrogeneous and non-hydrogeneous, semi-infinite samples and from Monte Carlo calculations on soil of a composition which might typically be encountered on planetary surfaces, it is found that gamma rays from...
