Ichnofossils of the alluvial Willwood Formation (lower Eocene), Bighorn Basin, northwest Wyoming, U.S.A
T. M. Bown, M. J. Kraus
1983, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (43) 95-128
The ichnofossil assemblage of the lower Eocene Willwood Formation consists of at least nine distinct endichnia that are preserved in full relief. Four forms (three ichnogenera and four ichnospecies) are new and represent fodinichnia and domichnia of oligochaete worms, an insect or spider, an unknown vertebrate (probably a mammal), and...
Paleoclimatic analyses of middle Eocene through Oligocene planktic foraminiferal faunas
G. Keller
1983, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (43) 73-94
Quantitative faunal analyses and oxygen isotope ranking of individual planktic foraminiferal species from deep sea sequences of three oceans are used to make paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic inferences. Species grouped into surface, intermediate and deep water categories based on δ18O values provide evidence of major changes in water-mass stratification, and individual...
Accumulation of fossil fuels and metallic minerals in active and ancient rift lakes
Eleanora I. Robbins
1983, Tectonophysics (94) 633-658
A study of active and ancient rift systems around the world suggests that accumulations of fossil fuels and metallic minerals are related to the interactions of processes that form rift valleys with those that take place in and around rift lakes. The deposition of the precursors of petroleum, gas, oil...
Separation of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) in ground waters by ion-exchange
Walter H. Ficklin
1983, Talanta (30) 371-373
The predominant species of arsenic in ground water are probably arsenite and arsenate. These can be separated with a strong anion-exchange resin (Dowex 1 × 8; 100–200 mesh, acetate form) in a 10 cm × 7 mm column. Samples are filtered and acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid (1 ml per...

Application of Gauss algorithm and Monte Carlo simulation to the identification of aquifer parameters
Timothy J. Durbin
1983, Open-File Report 81-688
The Gauss optimization technique can be used to identify the parameters of a model of a groundwater system for which the parameter identification problem is formulated as a least squares comparison between the response of the prototype and the response of the model. Unavoidable uncertainty in the true stress on...
The oil and gas industry of coastal Louisiana and its effects on land use and other socioeconomic patterns
Donald W. Davis, John L. Place
1983, Open-File Report 83-118
Louisiana's coastal wetlands, alone with their well-drained urbanized strips, have been significantly affected by the oil and gas industry. Onshore, more than 6,300 exploratory wells and more than 21,000 development wells were drilled in Louisiana's eight southernmost parishes between 1937 and 1977. Nearly all those wells were in wetlands or...
Geohydrology and model analysis of the stream-aquifer system along the Arkansas River in Kearny and Finney counties, southwestern Kansas
L. E. Dunlap, Richard J. Lindgren, C. G. Sauer
1983, Open-File Report 83-222
A study was made, in cooperation with the Division of Water Resources, Kansas State Board of Agriculture, to determine geohydrologic conditions in an area comprising nearly 850,000 acres along the Arkansas River valley in Kearny and Finney Counties, southwestern Kansas. The Arkansas River meanders atop and interacts hydraulically with the...
Chemical composition of ground water and the locations of permeable zones in the Yucca Mountain area, Nevada
L. V. Benson, J. H. Robison, R. K. Blankennagel, A.L. Ogard
1983, Open-File Report 83-854
Ten wells in the Yucca Mountain area of southern Nevada have been sampled for chemical analysis. Samples were obtained during pumping of water from the entire well bore (composite sample) and in one instance by pumping water from a single isolated interval in well UE-25b number 1. Sodium is the...
