The physical behavior and geologic control of radon in mountain streams
Allen Stuart Rogers
1954, Open-File Report 54-259
Radon distribution ratio determinations in an all-water system were made. They checked very closely with those done by Kofler in 1913. The distribution of radon in stream waters and related springs was investigated in the Wasatch Mountains adjacent to Salt Lake City, Utah, and in a part of the Weber...
Contribution to the study of the physico-chemical structure of Clais
Remy Hebert, S. E. Britt (translator)
1954, Open-File Report 54-28
The Cormeilles-en-Parisis hill shows one of the best geologic sections of the Paris region. The 80 meter high working face of the quarry exposes the complete section of the "Ludian" [the youngest beds of the Eocene] with its alternations of the marl and gypsum. Above is the sequence of supra-gypseous...
Magnetite deposits at Tuxedni Bay, Alaska
Arthur Grantz
1954, Open-File Report 54-103
The magnetite deposits on an island in Tuxedni Bay occur in contact-metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks near their contact with a quartz diorite batholith which underlies large areas of the adjacent Aleutian Range. The deposits are pyrometasomatic in origin and are localized along northeast-trending fractures. The eastern deposit is a...

First Fourteen Years of Lake Mead
Harold E. Thomas

This circular summarizes the results of recent studies of Lake Mead and its environs. Area-capacity tables, prepared on the basis of a hydrographic survey of the lake in 1948-49, show that the capacity of the reservoir was reduced 4.9 percent during the first 14 years after Hoover Dam was completed,...

Wallace R. Griffitts
1954, Circular 309
Pegmatite dikes in the tin-spodumene belt of North and South Carolina uniformly contain about 0.05 percent BeO. The most abundant minerals in the pegmatite contain from 0. 0001 to 0.01 percent BeO. Beryl, having 12.0 to 12.3 percent BeO, is the only beryllium-rich mineral and contains more than 80 percent...
