J. A. Domenico, W.C. Overstreet, A.E. Hubert, R. B. Tripp
1978, Open-File Report 79-1188
Sixty samples of sediments from stream beds, outwash plains, and beaches were collected in Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey by Fred L. Klinger,U.S. Bureau of Mines, as part of the field work undertaken by the National Geographic-Smithsonian Pyrotechnological Expedition of 1968. Facilities for the analysis of the samples for tin and...
Development of a technique for the rapid estimation of earthquake losses
Sylvester Theodore Algermissen, M.B. McGrath, S.L. Hanson
1978, Open-File Report 78-440
A simple, general technique has been outlined for the rapid, approximate estimation of building losses resulting from ground shaking during earthquakes. The technique has been applied to the San Francisco Bay area. Ground shaking, ground failures of various kinds, surface faulting, tsunamis, and earthquake induced fires are all responsible for...
Agricultural land use and water quality in the upper St. Joseph River basin, Michigan
T. Ray Cummings
1978, Open-File Report 78-950
Land use in the upper St. Joseph River basin of south-central Michigan is primarily agricultural. In the 144-square-mile area, the chemical and physical characteristics of water are determined by the climate and soils, as well as by land conservation practices. Municipal waste discharges affect water quality at some locations, as...
Gold, base-metal, and related deposits of North Carolina
Gwendolyn Werth Luttrell
1978, Open-File Report 78-152
Gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, pyrite, tin, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, barite, and rare-earths have been mined in North Carolina. Gold, with by-product silver, occurs in veins and mineralized shear zones in metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont province and in placers derived from these deposits. Copper occurs with complex sulfide ores...
Impact of coastal processes on resource development with an example from Icy Bay, Alaska
Bruce F. Molnia
1978, Open-File Report 79-1693
The coastline of Alaska is dynamic and continually readjusting to changes in the many processes that operate in the coastal zone. Because of this dynamic nature, special consideration must be made in planning for development, and. caution must be exercised in site selection for facilities to be emplaced in the...

Lithium-bearing rocks of the Horse Spring Formation, Clark County, Nevada
Elizabeth F. Brenner-Tourtelot, Richard K. Glanzman
1978, Energy (3) 255-262
The Horse Spring Formation of Miocene age in Clark County, Nevada, contains as much as 0.5% Li in individual samples. Rock sequences which average 0.1% Li range from 3 m thick near Gold Butte (south of Mesquite, Nev.) to as much as 40 m thick near Lava Butte (east...
Identification and significance of accessory minerals from a bituminous coal
R. B. Finkelman, R.W. Stanton
1978, Fuel (57) 763-768
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used to study the in situ accessory minerals in polished blocks and pellets of petrographically analysed samples of the Waynesburg coal (hvb). Individual grains from the low-temperature ash (LTA) of the same coal were also studied. The visual resolution of the SEM permitted the detection...

Black monazite from Taiwan
J.J. Matzko, W.C. Overstreet
1977, Proceedings of the Geological Society of China (20) 16-35
Two forms of detrital monazite are known in offshore bars in southwestern Taiwan: a yellow-green to colorless form and an unusual but abundant pelletlike form, generally black but also colored gray or brown. These black pellets, which are about 160 by 200 microns in size, are composed of fine-grained monazite...
Earthworm populations as related to woodcock habitat usage in Central Maine

1977, Book chapter, Proceedings of the Sixth Woodcock Symposium, held at Fredericton, New Brunswick, October 4, 5 and 6
Lumbricid earthworms were sampled 'on two central Maine study areas between late April and early September, 1974, to relate earthworm abundance to use of feeding covers by American woodcock(Philoheli minor). On sampling days, occurring at 2 to 3 week intervals, a formalin solution was applied to thirty O.25m areas in...
Rare earths, thorium, and other minor elements in sphene from some plutonic rocks in west-central Alaska
Mortimer H. Staatz, Nancy M. Conklin, Isabelle K. Brownfield
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 623-628
Sphene is an abundant accessory mineral in some abnormally radioactive plutonic rocks in west-central Alaska. Seven samples of sphene from four different areas in west-central Alaska contained from 20350 to 39180 parts per million total rare earths and 390 to 2000 ppm thorium. The lanthanide content in six of the...

Deposition of the Tapeats Sandstone (Cambrian) in central Arizona
Richard Hereford
1977, GSA Bulletin (88) 199-211
Grain size, bedding thickness, dispersion of cross-stratification azimuths, and assemblages of sedimentary structures and trace fossils vary across central Arizona; they form the basis for recognizing six facies (A through F) in the Tapeats Sandstone. Five of these (A through E), present in western central Arizona, are marine deposits containing...
Earthquake history of Virginia
C. A. von Hake
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 28-30
Virginia is a State of considerable seismic activity, although the earthquakes are rarely strong. Thirty-five shocks, intensity MM V or greater (Modified Mercalli Scale), are listed with epicenters within its borders. The locations of several of the older events are not precise; thus, the above count i subject to alteration....
Breeding avifauna of the south San Francisco Bay estuary
Robert E. Gill Jr.
1977, Western Birds (8) 1-12
San Francisco Bay represents one of the largest estuarine areas on the Pacific Coast of North America. Its open waters, tidal flats, tidal marshes and solar evaporation ponds provide critical foraging, resting and breeding habitat for migratory and resident birds. The avifauna of San Francisco Bay has received considerable attention;...
