$ANBA; a rapid, combined data acquisition and correction program for the SEMQ electron microprobe
James J. McGee
1983, Open-File Report 83-817
$ANBA is a program developed for rapid data acquisition and correction on an automated SEMQ electron microprobe. The program provides increased analytical speed and reduced disk read/write operations compared with the manufacturer's software, resulting in a doubling of analytical throughput. In addition, the program provides enhanced analytical features such as...

E. S. McGee, B.C. Hearn
1983, Open-File Report 83-156
The recently discovered Lake Ellen kimberlite, in northern Michigan, indicates that bedrock sources of diamonds found in glacial deposits in the Great Lakes area could lie within the northern U.S. Magnetic surveys show a main kimberlite 200 m in diameter and an adjacent body 25 x 90 m(?). The kimberlite...
Geologic, geotechnical, and geophysical properties of core from the Acme Fire-Pit-1 drill hole, Sheridan County, Wyoming
Donley S. Collins
1983, Open-File Report 83-69
A preliminary core study from the Acme Fire-Pit-1 drill hole, Sheridan County, Wyoming, revealed that the upper portion of the core had been baked by a fire confined to the underlying Monarch coal bed. The baked (clinkered) sediment above the Monarch coal bed was determined to have higher point-load strength...

This survey (888 km), of the New Jersey nearshore area, extended between Corson Inlet to the south and Mlanasquan Inlet to the north and from about 8 m depth to about 25 m depth. The lines were located between latitudes 39° and 40°10'N and longitudes 73°50' and 74° 40'W. High-resolution...
Funding history of the U.S. Geological Survey Federal data collection and analysis program, 1973-1982
Alberto Condes de la Torre
1983, Open-File Report 83-47
Federal program activities in the collection and analysis of hydrologic data are funded in six categories established in order of priority. Over the period 1973 to 1982, the funding available for the programs supported in each category has increased, but when viewed without the effect of inflation the purchasing power...

Holocene sedimentation in Richardson Bay, California
Cathy L. Connor
1983, Open-File Report 83-312
Examination of foraminifers, diatoms, ostracodes, clay mineralogy, and sediment-size variation from 9 borehole sites along the salt-marsh margins of Richardson Bay reveals a record of gradual infilling of fine-grained estuarine sediments. Over the past 10,000 years this area was transformed from a V-shaped Pleistocene stream valley to a flat-floored arm...
Floods of April 1983 in southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana
Darrell D. Carlson, Gary D. Firda
1983, Open-File Report 83-685
Extreme flooding occurred in April 1983 in southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana. The floods resulted from a near-stationary cold front, which moved slowly across Louisiana and Mississippi. Flood heights and discharges of many streams exceeded previously known maximums of record, and for many the recurrence interval of peak discharge exceeded...
Preliminary stage-discharge relations for Tombigbee River at Aliceville lock and dam, near Pickensville, Alabama
G. H. Nelson, C. O. Ming
1983, Open-File Report 83-752
The construction of Aliceville lock and dam and other related channel alterations, completed in 1979, has resulted in changes to the stage-discharge relations in the vicinity. The scarcity of current-meter measurements, coupled with backwater conditions, makes definition of a single stage-discharge relation impossible. However, limit curves can be defined that...
Stratigraphy, structure, and palinspastic synthesis of the western Brooks Range, northwestern Alaska
Charles F. Mayfield, Irvin L. Tailleur, Inyo Ellersieck
1983, Open-File Report 83-779
This report is an effort to describe and decipher the mid-Paleozoic to Lower Cretaceous stratigraphy and the orogenic evolution of the western Brooks Range. The western Brooks Range primarily is composed of stacks of complexly deformed thrust sheets that contain mostly coeval sequences of rocks with slightly different lithologic facies....

Distribution and quantitative assessment of world crude oil reserves and resources
Charles D. Masters, David H. Root, William D. Dietzman
1983, Open-File Report 83-728
World Demonstrated Reserves of crude oil are approximately 723 billion barrels of oil (BBO). Cumulative production is 445 BBO and annual production is 20 BBO. Demonstrated Reserves of crude-oil have declined over the past 10 years consistent with discoveries lagging production over the same period. The assessment of Undiscovered Resources...

1983, Open-File Report 83-143
Streamflow, water quality, and precipitation data collected during the 1980 and 1981 water years are reported. The purpose was to document changes in total phosphorus loads resulting from a change in agricultural waste management practices in the Johnson Brook watershed in Maine. Streamflow data include mean-daily discharges for the period...
Paleocene pycnodont fishes from Jabal Umm Himar, Harrat Hadan area, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Three species of Pycnodus, a genus of extinct holostean fishes, have been identified from the Paleocene of Jabal Umm Himar, Harrat Hadan area, south-central Saudi Arabia, an area that was contiguous with Africa during the Early Tertiary. One of the species is larger than any species identified from the Early...
Mastritherium (Artiodactyla, Anthracotheriidae) from Wadi Sabya, southwestern Saudi Arabia; an earliest Miocene age for continental rift-valley volcanic deposits of the Red Sea margin

1983, Open-File Report 83-550
Two nonparametric procedures to test for trends in water-quality data (SEASKEN AND SEASRS) have been developed for the Statistical Analysis System* (SAS). The procedure SEASKEN tests for a monotonic trend in time by a modified form of Kendall's tau, the Seasonal Kendall test. The procedure SEASRS tests for a step...
