Graphic and algebraic solutions of the discordant lead-uranium age problem
L. R. Stieff, T. W. Stern
1961, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (22) 176-199
Uranium-bearing minerals that give lead-uranium and lead—lead ages that are essentially in agreement, i.e. concordant, generally are considered to have had a relatively simple geologic history and to have been unaltered since their deposition. The concordant ages obtained on such materials are, therefore, assumed to approach closely the actual age...
Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Pesticide-Wildlife Review: 1959
J.B. DeWitt, J.L. George
1960, Circular No. 84 revised
Research findings of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, State agencies and independent research workers in Ala., Ark., Fla., Ga., La., Mass., Mich., Mont., N. Dak., Tex., and Wis. are summarized in this report together with recommendations for reducing damage from pest control operations. Major topics discussed are:...
Time, distance, and drawdown relationships in a pumped ground-water basin
Fred Kunkel
1960, Circular 433
Several reasonable values are assumed for coefficients of transmissibility and storage of lenticular alluvial deposits, These values when substituted in the Theis (1935) nonequilibrium formula as modified by Wenzel (1942) give curves from which time, distance, drawdown relationships are estimated....
Availability of ground water at the border stations at Laurier and Ferry, Washington
Kenneth Lyle Walters
1960, Circular 422
In the Laurier area, Washington, the Kettle River has cut into crystalline rocks in the deepest part of the valley. Sand and gravel fill were deposited in the valley during Pleistocene time by melt water from glaciers, and subsequent erosion and alluviation formed three terrace levels. The highest level, on...
Double-mass curves, with a section fitting curves to cyclic data
James K. Searcy, Clayton H. Hardison, Walter B. Langbein
1960, Water Supply Paper 1541-B
The double.-mass curve is used to check the consistency of many kinds of hydrologic data by comparing data for a single station with that of a pattern composed of the data from several other stations in the area The double-mass curve can be used to adjust inconsistent precipitation data. The...
Origin and chemical composition of evaporite deposits
George William Moore
1960, Open-File Report 60-99
A comparative study of marine evaporite deposits forming at the present time along the pacific coast of central Mexico and evaporite formations of Permian age in West Texas Basin was made in order to determine if the modern sediments provide a basis for understanding environmental conditions that existed during deposition...
Progress report on use of water by riparian vegetation, Cottonwood Wash, Arizona
E. L. Hendricks, William Kam, James E. Bowie
1960, Circular 434
Measurements of streamflow, ground-water levels, and meterological data obtained in a 4.1-mile reach of the flood plain of Cottonwood Wash, Mohave County, Ariz., define the use of water by riparian vegetation in that part of the stream valley. The computed evapotranspiration loss during the growing season of 1959 was 175...
The Mesaverde group at Sunnyside, Utah
Harold Brodsky
1960, Open-File Report 60-18
The Mesaverde group of Late Cretaceous age at Sunnyside, Utah consists in ascending order; the Blackhawk formation, Castlegate sandstone and the Price River formation. The Mancos shale inter-tongues with the Blackhawk formation.The Mancos shale formed in an offshore marine environment, the Blackhawk formation formed in a mixed marine and continental...
Occurrence of strontium in natural water
M. W. Skougstad, C. Albert Horr
1960, Circular 420
The regions where the stable strontium content of surface waters is relatively low (less than 0.50 ppm) include the Pacific Northwest, Northeastern United States, and the Central Lowlands, Particularly the Lower Mississippi basin and the Western Gulf Coast area. Moderate concentrations of strontium (0.50 to 1.5 ppm) are found in...
Strategic graphite, a survey
Eugene N. Cameron, Paul L. Weis
1960, Bulletin 1082-E
Strategic graphite consists of certain grades of lump and flake graphite for which the United States is largely or entirely dependent on sources abroad. Lump graphite of high purity, necessary in the manufacture of carbon brushes, is imported from Ceylon, where it occurs in vein deposits. Flake graphite, obtained from...
The Foraminiferal Genus Orbitolina in North America
Raymond Charles Douglass
1960, Professional Paper 333
The foraminiferal genus Orbitolina has been useful as an index fossil in the Cretaceous rocks of the circumglobal equatorial belt for nearly a century. In Europe and the Near and Middle East enough work has been done on the species to allow their use for approximate correlations within the Cretaceous...
Geology and fluorspar deposits, Northgate district, Colorado
Thomas A. Steven
1960, Bulletin 1082-F
The fluorspar deposits in the Northgate district, Jackson County, Colo., are among the largest in Western United States. The mines were operated intermittently during the 1920's and again during World War II, but production during these early periods of operation was not large. Mining was begun on a larger scale...
Ground water in Oklahoma
A.R. Leonard
1960, Open-File Report 60-166
One of the first requisites for the intelligent planning of utilization and control of water and for the administration of laws relating to its use is data on the quantity, quality, and mode of occurrence of the available supplies. The collection, evaluation and interpretation, and publication of such data are...
Preliminary report on electromagnetic model studies
F.C. Frischknecht, G. B. Mangan
1960, Open-File Report 60-53
More than 70 resopnse curves for various models have been obtained using the slingram and turam electromagnetic methods. Results show that for the slingram method, horizontal co-planar coils are usually more sensitive than vertical, co-axial or vertical, co-planar coils. The shape of the anomaly usually is simpler for the vertical...
A comprehensive system of automatic computation in magnetic and gravity interpretation
R.G. Henderson
1960, Geophysics (25) 569-585
In the interpretation of magnetic and gravity anomalies, downward continuation of fields and calculation of first and second vertical derivatives of fields have been recognized as effective means for bringing into focus the latent diagnostic features of the data. A comprehensive system has been devised for the calculation of any or all of these...
Crystal structure refinement of reedmergnerite, the boron analog of albite
J. R. Clark, D.E. Appleman
1960, Science (132) 1837-1838
Ordering of boron in a feldspar crystallographic site T1(0) has been found in reedmergnerite, which has silicon-oxygen and sodium-oxygen distances comparable to those in isostructural low albite. If a simple ionic model is assumed, calculated bond strengths yield a considerable charge imbalance in reedmergnerite, an indication of the inadequacy of the...
Geological age of the Claypool site, northeastern Colorado
H.E. Malde
1960, American Antiquity (26) 215-222
Artifacts related to the Cody complex occur in medium-grained sand that is spread as a blanket eolian deposit a few feet thick in the Claypool site area, Washington County, Colorado. The artifact-bearing sand lacks noticeable dunal topography and lies unconformably on marl of Yarmouth age and on waterlaid coarse sand and fine...

J.B. Bush, D.R. Cook, T. S. Lovering, H. T. Morris
1960, Economic Geology (55) 1116-1147
The Burgin shaft is in the Chief Oxide area of the E. Tintic district, Utah, and is about a mile E. of any previously known ore bodies; workings from it are currently developing a substantial amount of commercial Pb-Zn ore in several blind ore bodies...
