T. P. Thayer, P. W. Guild
1947, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (28) 919-930
Detailed areal mapping in central Camagüey Province and reconnaissance mapping in northern and eastern Oriente Province, Cuba, have revealed two major structural zones: (1) A zone of intense deformation, including thrust faulting, which lies north of the geographic axis of the island; and (2) a belt of domical mountains bounded...
Survey‐net adjustment by electrical analogue
J. L. Speert
1947, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (28) 831-837
This paper describes how the equivalent of a least‐squares adjustment of a level or traverse net may be obtained by electrical measurements in an analogous electrical net. The lengths of the survey lines are replaced by proportional electrical resistances; the survey closures are replaced by proportional small dc voltages; the...

Stratigraphy of the upper Cambrian, Llano Uplift, Texas
Josiah Bridge, V.E. Barnes, P. E. Cloud Jr.
1947, GSA Bulletin (58) 109-124
The two formations and eight members that constitute the Upper Cambrian in the Llano uplift of central Texas are described or redefined, and their lithic characters in 19 measured sections are graphically summarized. Standard reference to them is thus furnished.The Riley formation comprises the basal Paleozoic strata of the Llano...
Flysch and molasse
A.J. Eardley, Max G. White
1947, GSA Bulletin (58) 979-990
By definition European geologists consider a sequence of limestones, sandstones, and shales, the beds of which are thin, regular, and alternating, and which are deposited in a geosyncline or foredeep shortly before a major orogeny, as the flysch. The waste products that accumulate as a deposit flanking mountains and built in...
Chemical analyses and calculated modes of the Oliverian magma series, Mt. Washington Quadrangle, New Hampshire
M.P. Billings, J.C. Rabbitt
1947, GSA Bulletin (58) 573-596
Complete chemical analyses, including the spectrographic determination of 44 trace elements, have been made of six representative specimens from each of the six map units constituting the Oliverian magma series in the Mt. Washington quadrangle of New Hampshire. Potash is systematically higher than soda. An increase in silica, which ranges...
Geology of the Borah Peak quadrangle, Idaho
C. P. Ross
1947, GSA Bulletin (58) 1085-1160
This report is on result of a long program of geologic investigation in south-central Idaho, undertaken as an aid in the development of the mineral resources of the region. This quadrangle was examined because of the exceptional opportunities for the study of stratigraphy and structure afforded by the Lost River...
Suggestions as to future research in ground‐water hydrology
O. E. Meinzer
1947, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (28) 418-420
Determination of the ground‐water supply available from any aquifer or in any specified area requires not merely the application of specific quantitative methods but also a broad and accurate knowledge of the geologic, hydrologlc, and geochemical factors that are involved, and consideration of the economic and legal limitations. Further research...
Scheelite in the Boulder District, Colorado
Ogden Tweto
1947, Economic Geology (42) 47-59
Scheelite accompanies ferberite as an ore of tungsten at many localities in the Boulder tungsten district. It is only of accessory importance in most veins, but in a few mines it affects grade of the ore substantially. It occurs in small veins, in vugs, disseminated in sericitized rock, and in...

Value of the electrical log for estimating ground‐water supplies and the quality of the ground water
B.A. Barnes, Penn Livingston
1947, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (28) 903-911
This paper gives a brief summary of studies of the value of the electrical log for estimating ground‐water supplies and the quality of the water in them made in Texas by the United States Geological Survey and cooperating parties.The electrical log has been found to be especially valuable in the...

The beryl resources of Connecticut
Eugene N. Cameron, Vincent E. Shainin
1947, Economic Geology (42) 353-367
In 1942-44, about 120 Connecticut pegmatites were examined for beryl and other minerals during investigations by the Federal Geological Survey. Most of the pegmatites lie in the Middletown district, occurring principally in the Bolton schist and Monson gneiss. The pegmatites range from distinctly zoned bodies to those that are essentially...
The zinc content of plants on the Freidensville zinc slime ponds in relation to biogeochemical prospecting
W. O. Robinson, Hubert William Lakin, Laura E. Reichen
1947, Economic Geology (42) 572-582
The zinc content of thirty different kinds of plants growing on slime ponds containing on the average 12.5 per cent zinc were determined by the dithizone method. The zinc content ranged from 39 p.p.m. in the fruit of the false solomon's seal (Smilacina racemosa) to 5,400 in the horsetail (Equiseteum...
Ground-water conditions and problems in the Upper Mississippi River Embayment
Robert Schneider
1947, Economic Geology (42) 626-633
The Upper Mississippi River Embayment is a region of about 45,000 square miles in the Mississippi River Valley extending from the vicinity of the 34th parallel northward to the mouth of the Ohio River. It includes parts of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. In 1940 about 2,700,000 people inhabited...

Geology and ground-water resources of Puerto Rico
Charles Lee McGuinness
1947, Economic Geology (42) 563-571
Puerto Rico, the easternmost and smallest of the Greater Antilles, has an axis of deformed and metamorphosed volcanic rocks of Upper Cretaceous age, intruded by dioritic rocks during the Antillean revolution. The hard-rock core is flanked on the north and south by limestones and clastic rocks of late Oligocene and...

1947, GSA Bulletin (58) 483-494
Determination of radioactivity has been made on 43 rocks, carefully selected from the different mapped units of the complex Cretaceous batholith of Southern California; they range from gabbro to granite. The activity of the gabbro averages about 0.3 alphas/mg./hr., that of the tonalites, 0.8, the granodiorite 1.3, and the granites...
