Notes on availability of multi-channel seismic processing programs
Robert Brune
1978, Open-File Report 78-421
During the past two years, a seismic processing system has been developed within Western Region offices of the U.S. Geological Survey (Pacific-Arctic Branch of Marine Geology). This brief report describes some of the programs within this system that may be of value to others. We process seismic reflection data taken...
Reconstruction of crustal blocks of California on the basis of initial strontium isotopic compositions of Mesozoic granitic rocks
Ronald Wayne Kistler, Zell E. Peterman
1978, Professional Paper 1071
Initial 87Sr/ 86 Sr was determined for samples of Mesozoic granitic rocks in the vicinity of the Garlock fault zone in California. These data along with similar data from the Sierra Nevada and along the San Andreas fault system permit a reconstruction of basement rocks offset by the Cenozoic lateral...

Uranium and phosphate resources in the Cooper Formation of the Charleston region, South Carolina
Eric R. Force, G. S. Gohn, L.M. Force, B.B. Higgins
1978, Open-File Report 78-586
Phosphate deposits formerly exploited in the Charleston district were formed by weathering and reworking of the Cooper Formation (Eocene and Oliogcene). Previous workers have shown that unusual concentrations of uranium occur in phosphate-rich nodular material formed during subareal weathering. We found that the old mining district is on an erosional...

Selected hydrologic data, 1931-77, Wasatch Plateau-Book Cliffs coal-fields area, Utah
K.M. Waddell, H.L. Vickers, Robbin T. Upton, P. Kay Contratto
1978, Open-File Report 78-121
The Wasatch Plateau-Book Cliffs coal-fields area in east-central Utah includes a significant part of the State's coal resources and is currently (1977) the most active coal-mining area in the State.This report presents data gathered by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of a hydrologic reconnaissance carried out during the period...

Effects of urbanization on streamflow and sediment transport in the Rock Creek and Anacostia River basins, Montgomery County, Maryland, 1962-74
Thomas H. Yorke, William J. Herb
1978, Professional Paper 1003
Land use, precipitation, streamflow, and sediment discharge data were collected from nine small drainage basins in Montgomery County, Maryland, to evaluate runoff and sediment response to sediment-control practices in areas undergoing urban development. Drainage basins ranged in size from 0.35 to 21.1 sq mi and land use ranged from rural...

Lithium in rocks from the Lincoln, Helena, and Townsend areas, Montana
Elizabeth F. Brenner-Tourtelot, Allen L. Meier, Craig A. Curtis
1978, Open-File Report 78-430
In anticipation of increased demand for lithium for energy-related uses, the U.S. Geological Survey has been appraising the lithium resources of the United States and investigating occurrences of lithium. Analyses of samples of chiefly lacustrine rocks of Oligocene age collected by M. R. Mudge near Lincoln, Mont. showed as much...
Site evaluation for U.S. Bureau of Mines experimental oil-shale mine, Piceance Creek basin, Rio Blanco County, Colorado
John R. Ege, G.H. Leavesley, G.S. Steele, J.B. Weeks
1978, Open-File Report 78-390
The U.S. Geological Survey is cooperating with the U.S. Bureau of Mines in the selection of a site for a shaft and experimental mine to be constructed in the Piceance Creek basin, Rio Blanco County, Colo. The Piceance Creek basin, an asymmetric, northwest-trending large structural downwarp, is located approximately 40...

The Potential for Prophyry Copper-Molybdenum Deposits in the Eastern United States
Robert Gordon Schmidt
1978, Professional Paper 907-E
Several significant porphyry-type deposits of Paleozoic age are known in New England and eastern Canada. Disseminated copper-molybdenum deposits of Paleozoic age are in the Southeastern United States, and copper is produced from porphyry-type deposits of both Precambrian and Paleozoic age in eastern Canada. Although these old deposits are surely less...
Principal unconformities in Triassic and Jurassic rocks, western interior United States - A preliminary survey
G. N. Pipiringos, Robert Brett O'Sullivan
1978, Professional Paper 1035-A
The Triassic and Jurassic rocks in Western Interior United States contain nine unconformities each of which was destroyed to some extent by a younger unconformity. Regardless of extent, all are useful for correlation of rock sequences in areas where fossils or age dates are lacking. The purpose of this report...
K-Ar geochronology of the Survey Pass, Ambler River and Eastern Baird Mountains quadrangles, southwestern Brooks Range, Alaska
Donald L. Turner, R. B. Forbes, C.F. Mayfield
1978, Open-File Report 78-254
We report 76 previously unpublished K-Ar mineral ages from 47 metamorphic and igneous rocks in the southwestern Brooks Range. The pattern of radiometric ages is complex, reflecting the complex geologic history of this area. Local and regional radiometric evidence suggests that the southern Brooks Range schist belt has, at least...
