Geology of the Fourmile pegmatite area, Custer County, South Dakota
Jack Allison Redden
1955, Open-File Report 55-145
The Fournile pegmatite area covers 32 sq. mi. in the western part of the Custer pegmatite mining district, Custer County, South Dakota. This area has been one of the major sources of sheet mica in the United States, especially between 1906 and 1911, and it has been a significant source...

Geology of the Red House Cliffs area, San Juan County, Utah
Thomas E. Mullens
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 445
The Red Cliffs area comprises 296 square miles of canyon and plateau country in southwestern San Juan County, Utah. The rocks that crop out in the area are mostly deposits of terrestrial environment and are of Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, and Quaternary ages. The aggregate thickness of these rock is about...
Engineering geology as applied to highway construction
Leonard M. Gard Jr.
1955, Open-File Report 55-46
A geologic study of the site for a relocated segment of State Highway 93 northwest of Denver Colo., was made by by the Engineering Geology Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey as a demonstration of the applicability of geologic mapping to problems of highway construction. The relocated segment provides access...
Relationship of uranium and other trace elements to post-Cretaceous vulcanism
Robert R. Coats
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 159
A regional study of the distribution of uranium, boron, tin, beryllium, niobium, lanthanum, lead, zirconium, lithium, and fluorine in 112 samples of Cenozoic volcanic rocks of predominately rhyolitic and dacitic composition has shown that the content of uranium has a significantly high positive correlation with that of niobium, beryllium, and...
Provenience of pyroclastic materials
C. S. Ross
1955, Geological Society of America Bulletin (66) 427-434
Recent studies of rhyolitic and pyroclastic materials, and in particular of welded tuffs and bentonites, show that they occur over wide areas and in volumes which greatly exceed earlier evaluations. Volcanic ash and bentonite occur in the eastern United States where such materials were long unrecognized. In most of the...
Sub-chattanooga residuum in Tennessee and Kentucky
C. Milton, L. C. Conant, V.E. Swanson
1955, Geological Society of America Bulletin (66) 805-810
Between the Chattanooga shale and the underlying limestone in parts of Tennessee and Kentucky is a clayey gray to brown zone as much as several feet thick. This represents an interval of limestone that has been leached by sulfuric acid formed by oxidation of the abundant pyrite in the black...

Memorandum describing the geology and ground-water conditions in the vicinity of Simpsonville, Maryland
E. G. Otton
1955, Open-File Report 55-127
This memorandum summarizes briefly the result of a study of the ground-water conditions of a small area near Simpsonville, Maryland, underlain chiefly by the Guilford granite (granite-pegmatite) of early Paleozoic or late Precambrian age. The records. of 15 wells and 5 sprints are given, as are t he sample-study legs...
The killifish, fundulus heteroclitus, second intermediate host of the trematode, Ascocotyle (Phagicola) dimunuta
H. W. Stunkard, Joseph R. Uzmann
1955, Biological Bulletin (109) 475-483
Ascocotyle (Phagicola) diminuta was described by Stunkard and Haviland (1924)from the intestine of wild rats collected at the Clason Point dump near New York by the City Board of Health. Feeding experiments have demonstrated that metacercariae encysted in the gills of the common killifish, Fundulus hetero clitus, are stages in...
Isotopic composition and distribution of lead, uranium, and thorium in a Precambrian granite
G.R. Tilton, C.C. Patterson, Harrison Brown, Mark Inghram, R.R. Hayden, David Hess, Esper S. Larsen Jr.
1955, GSA Bulletin (66) 1131-1148
The isotopic compositions and concentrations of lead and uranium have been determined in some separated minerals and the composite of a granite from Monmouth township, Haliburton County, Ontario. The chemical and mass spectrometric methods that were used are described. The age of the zircon from the granite is 1050 million...
Pleistocene geology of the southwestern Wind River Mountains, Wyoming
G.W. Holmes, J.H. Moss
1955, GSA Bulletin (66) 629-654
Patches of Buffalo till record the earliest glaciation in the southwestern Wind River Mountains. In places, these rest in youthful valleys cut in high gravel terrace. Two other younger and lower terraces are both topographically and stratigraphically associated with Buffalo till, which may indicate that the Buffalo advance was compound....
