Organic carbon content of Devonian shale sequence sampled in drill cuttings from eighteen wells in western Pennsylvania
George Edwin Claypool, Allan W. Stone
1979, Open-File Report 79-1665
This report contains results of organic carbon analyses performed by Rinehart Laboratories, Inc., Arvada, Colorado, under contract to the U.S. Geological Survey. The analytical method employs chemical (chromic acid) oxidation of an acid solution containing the rock residue. The detailed analytical specifications are contained in the Rinehart proposal in response...

Characteristics of four urbanized basins in south Florida
Robert A. Miller
1979, Open-File Report 79-694
Physical characteristics of four urbanized basins in south Florida are presented. Land use of the four basins are low-density residential, highway, commercial, and high-density residential. Maps of each basin include a photomosaic, a sewerage map, a drainage map, and an impervious-area map. Tabular data include pervious and impervious areas; sewer...
Key to the common marine molluscs of Texas
Gary W. Hill
1979, Open-File Report 79-969
A dichotomous key is developed which provides the investigator a means for identifying the common marine molluscs on the Texas coast. The key is written as to allow the user to stop or begin at any desired taxonomic level (class, order, superfamily, family, genus, species) depending on prior knowledge or...
Preliminary geological interpretation and lithologic log of the exploratory geothermal test well (INEL-1), Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho
David J. Doherty, Lisa Ann McBroome, Mel A. Kuntz
1979, Open-File Report 79-1248
A 10,365 ft (3,159 m) geothermal test well was drilled in the spring of 1979 at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho: The majority of rock types encountered in the borehole are of volcanic origin. An upper section above 2,445 ft (745 m) consists of basaltic...
Assessment of potential impacts to the hydrologic system related to surface mining
R. F. Hadley
1979, Open-File Report 79-1598
With the increasing demand for energy minerals, such as coal and uranium, and other minerals, Indian lands have received the attention of leasing, exploration, and mining interests. If these mineral resources, together with all other land resources, are to be managed properly by tribal decisionmakers, they will need more information....

Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program project summaries: fiscal year 1978
Marilyn P. MacCabe
1979, Open-File Report 79-387
The Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program of the U.S. Geological Survey expanded threefold during fiscal year 1978. The program funded nearly 300 projects in the areas of earthquake hazards, earthquake prediction, induced seismicity, and global seismology. Brief summaries of each project are presented in this report, along with highlights of the...
Water availability and flood hazards in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon
Frank J. Frank, E. A. Oster
1979, Open-File Report 79-1487
The rock formations of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument area are aquifers that can be expected to yield less than 10 gallons of water per minute to wells. The most permeable of the geologic units is the alluvium that occurs at low elevations along the John Day River...
Depositional environments of the uranium-bearing Cutler Formations, Lisbon Valley, Utah
John A. Campbell, Brenda A. Steele-Mallory
1979, Open-File Report 79-994
The Cutler Formation in Lisbon Valley, San Juan County, Utah, is composed predominantly of fluvial arkosic sandstones, siltstones, shales, and mudstones that were deposited by meandering streams that flowed across a flood plain and tidal flat close to sea level. Two types of channel deposits are recognized from their sedimentary...

Mesozoic stratigraphy: the key to tectonic analysis of southern and central Alaska
David Lawrence Jones, Norman J. Silberling
1979, Open-File Report 79-1200
Southern and central Alaska constitutes an enormous tectonic mosaic composed of separate structural blocks and fragments that accreted to North America during Mesozoic and early Cenozoic time. Some of these blocks are far traveled, as shown by paleomagnetic and paleontologic studies. More than 25 discrete tectonostratigraphic terranes now are known,...

Mathematical model for simulating discharges on the Sabine River between Tatum and Ruliff, Texas
Braxtel L. Neely
1979, Open-File Report 79-566
A mathematical model for simulating discharges on the Sabine River between Tatum and Ruliff, TX., was developed to evaluate the effects of release schedules on discharges from the Toledo Bend Reservoir compared to discharges under natural conditions. Using the discharge at Tatum, TX., the rainfall over the basin, and the...
