Mary C. Rabbitt
1980, Book
In the traditional view of the Survey's first 25 years, which are the subject of much of this volume, John Wesley Powell, with his broad view of science and advanced ideas of land and water in the West, is the heroic figure. Clarence King is dismissed as brilliant but with...
A lead isotope study of mineralization in the Saudi Arabian Shield
J. S. Stacey, B. R. Doe, R. J. Roberts, M.H. Delevaux, J. W. Gramlich
1980, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (74) 175-188
New lead isotope data are presented for some late Precambrian and early Paleozoic vein and massive sulfide deposits in the Arabian Shield. Using the Stacey Kramers (1975) model for lead isotope evolution, isochron model ages range between 720 m.y. and 420 m.y. Most of the massive sulfide deposits in the...

The Santa Rosa-Cortes Ridge is an 1800 m high, 180 km long feature lying approximately 90 km off the coast of southern California and directly south of the northern group of Channel Islands. Geophysical profiling and sampling cruises to the northern part of the ridge, an area of recent and...
Calculation of uncertainties of U-Pb isotope data
K.R. Ludwig
1980, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (46) 212-220
Equations are derived for the estimation of errors and error correlations for various types of U-Pb isotope data, taking into account ion-beam instabilities, run-to-run variability in mass-discrimination, uncertainties in Pb and U concentrations, and uncertainties in initial-Pb and blank-Pb amount and isotopic composition. Equations are also given for the calculation...

Type C botulism losses at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge, 1978
R. M. Windingstad, R. M. Duncan, R.L. Drieslein
1980, Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters (68) 208-211
Avian botulism was responsible for the death of over 6,000 waterfowl at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin in 1978. The outbreak occurred in early fall on a flooded 250 hectare fallow agricultural area on the northeast end of the refuge. The species most severely affected was the green-winged teal...
The age curves of sulfur and oxygen isotopes in marine sulfate and their mutual interpretation
George E. Claypool, William T. Holser, Isaac R. Kaplan, Hitoshi Sakai, Israel Zak
1980, Chemical Geology (28) 199-260
Three hundred new samples of marine evaporite sulfate, of world-wide distribution, were analyzed for δ34S, and 60 of these also for δ18O in the sulfate ion. Detailed δ34S age curves for Tertiary—Cretaceous, Permian—Pennsylvanian, Devonian, Cambrian and Proterozoic times document large variations in δ34S. A summary curve forδ18O also shows definite...

1980, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (61) 497-498
While many in the oceanographic community enthusiastically look forward to the Ocean Margin Drilling (OMD) program, others are not sure that the science to be gained will be worth the commitment to such an expensive, technology-intensive venture. The program was 7 years in the planning at the National Science Foundation...
