Stratigraphy of the Cache Formation (Pliocene and Pleistocene) in Clear Lake Basin, Lake County, California
Michael J. Rymer
1978, Open-File Report 78-924
Recent geologic mapping in the Clear Lake basin shows that the nonmarine Cache Formation can be subdivided into several members. New names are herein informally used for three distinct deposits called the B, L, and K members. The three members are geographically separate, except where the L member locally unconformably...

Relation of Mercury, Uranium, and Lithium Deposits to the McDermitt Caldera Complex, Nevada-Oregon
James J. Rytuba, Richard K. Glanzman
1978, Open-File Report 78-926
The McDermitt caldera complex, located along the Nevada-Oregon border, is a Miocene collapse structure 45 kilometer in diameter. Large-volume rhyolitic and peralkaline ash-flow tuffs were erupted from 17.9 to 15.8 m.y. ago, leading to the formation of overlapping and nested calderas. Emplacement of rhyolitic ring domes, located primarily along the...

A FORTRAN algorithm for correcting normal resistivity logs for borehole diameter and mud resistivity
James Henry Scott
1978, Open-File Report 78-669
The FORTRAN algorithm described in this report was developed for applying corrections to normal resistivity logs of any electrode spacing for the effects of drilling mud of known resistivity in boreholes of variable diameter. The corrections are based on Schlumberger departure curves that are applicable to normal logs made with...
Geologic and geophysical data from Osceola National Forest, Florida
James Andrew Miller
1978, Open-File Report 78-799
Ten core holes were drilled as part of a hydrologic study of Osceola National Forest. This report describes the detailed lithology of the cores taken from test drilling, illustrates gamma-ray logs obtained from the test holes and from wells near the forest, and lists the microfauna obtained and identified from...
The hydrology of Lake Rousseau, west-central Florida
E. R. German
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-126
Lake Rousseau, about 4 miles southwest of Inglis, Florida, was formed in 1909 by impoundment of the Withlacooche River by Inglis Dam, west of Dunnellon, Florida. The lake was to have been part of the Cross-Florida Barge Canal; a lock and channel associated with the presently inactive project were completed...

Four deposits in the Wadi Bidah district of southwestern Saudi Arabia were explored during the period 1972-1974. The work consisted of geologic, geochemical, and geophysical investigations and diamond drilling in the subsurface. Thirteen holes were drilled, aggregating a length of 2,397 m. Drilling at three of the deposits, Gehab, Sha'ab...

1978, Open-File Report 78-166
Analysis of streamflow records in Oklahoma has provided information on the low-flow characteristics of selected streams in Oklahoma. The 2-, 10- and 20-year low-flow frequency for 1-, 7-, 14- and 30-day durations have been determined for 143 continuous record stations, 46 partial record, and 56 miscellaneous sites in Oklahoma. Low-flows...
Documentation of potential for surface faulting related to ground-water withdrawal in Las Vegas Valley, Nevada
Thomas L. Holzer
1978, Open-File Report 78-79
Leveling data collected in Las Vegas Valley are compatible with the interpretation that ongoing land-surface displacements related to ground-water withdrawal may be precursory to fault offset of the land surface. Zones of potential faulting intersect regions of intense urban development. The degree of risk and the potential economic consequences from...
