L.R. Alldredge
1989, Journal of Geomagnetism & Geoelectricity (41) 549-563
Modern declination charts of the United States show almost no details. Greater detail may be of value to surveyors trying to follow old land deed descriptions, or to pilots of small planes or small pleasure boats operating in inland waterways. It would be extremely expensive to make adequate...
Geochemical controls on vanadium accumulation in fossil fuels
G. N. Breit, R. B. Wanty
1989, Conference Paper, Preprints Symposia
High vanadium contents in petroleum and other fossil fuels have been attributed to organic-matter type, organisms, volcanic emanations, diffusion of sea water, and epigenetic enrichment. However, these factors are inadequate to account for the high abundance of vanadium in some fossil fuels and the paucity in others. By examining vanadium...
