1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 103-127
Through the Deep Sea Drilling Project samples of interstitial solutions of deeply buried marine sediments throughout the World Ocean have been obtained and analyzed. The studies have shown that in all but the most slowly deposited sediments pore fluids exhibit changes in composition upon burial. These changes can be grouped...

1975, Ohio Journal of Science (75) 118-125
Nearly 2,000 fish representing 21 species were captured with experimental gillnets on Kelleys Island Shoal during the spawning and incubation periods of walleyes (Stizostedion v. vitreum) in 1969-71. A total of 794 stomachs were examined. Four species contained walleye eggs: yellow perch (Perca flavescens), spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius), stonecat (Noturus...

D.L. Healey
1975, Report
Gravity observations were made both east and west of the international dateline in the Aleutian Islands during 1970. A total of 280 gravity observations were made in the Rat Islands to the west and the Delarof Islands and Tanaga Island to the east. The principal facts and explanatory information for...

Geothermal significance of eastward increase in age of upper Cenozoic rhyolitic domes in southeastern Oregon
Norman S. MacLeod, George Walton Walker, Edwin H. McKee
1975, Open-File Report 75-348
Rhyolitic domes, flows, and ash-flow tuffs of Miocene to Holocene age form an important part of the thick sequence of Cenozoic volcanic rocks that cover southeastern Oregon east of the Cascade Range. Rhyolitic domes 11-17 m.y. old are widespread, particularly in the easternmost part of the state and in adjacent...
Gut morphology of mallards in relation to diet quality
M. R. Miller
1975, Journal of Wildlife Management (39) 168-173
Digestive organ lengths, weights, and volumes in each of three groups of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were determined at the end of a 21-day period, during which one group was starter (control diet), another group was fed whole corn (low fiber content), and the third fed alfalfa pellets (high fiber content)...
The Sargent-Berrocal Fault Zone and its relation to the San Andreas Fault system in the southern San Francisco Bay region and Santa Clara Valley, California
Robert McLaughlin
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 593-598
The Sargent-Berrocal fault zone is a belt of thrust faults extending for about 58 mi (94 km) southeastward from the vicinity of Los Altos to San Juan Bautista, Calif. The fault zone generally dips southwestward toward the adjacent San Andreas fault at low to steep angles, and the southwest...
The association of geochemical anomalies with a negative gravity anomaly in the Chief Mountain-Soda Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colorado
G.C. Curtin, H. D. King
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 581-592
Geochemical studies in the Chief Mountain Soda Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colo., show that anomalously high amounts of Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Bi in mull ash, and Cu and Hg in soil, correspond to a negative gravity anomaly in the Front Range mineral belt. The correspondence of...

A quartzite unit occurring between the rocks of the Precambrian Apache Group and those of the Cambrian Abrigo Formation in the Vekol Mountains, Final County, Ariz., has been called both Troy Quartzite (Precambrian) and Bolsa(?) Quartzite (Cambrian). Regional and local geologic relationships indicate that this intervening unit is definitely the...

Polychlorinated biphenyl toxicity to Japanese quail as related to degree of chlorination
E. F. Hill, R.G. Heath, J. W. Spann, J.D. Williams
1974, Poultry Science (53) 597-604
To learn if the percentage of chlorine in a mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) alone determines toxicity, Japanese quail were fed diets containing Aroclor 1248, 1254, or 1260 at levels that added equal amounts of chlorine to the feed. The experiment comprised two consecutive 5-day periods; three sublethal concentrations of...
