Mineral commodity profiles: Cadmium
W. C. Butterman, Jozef Plachy
2004, Open-File Report 2002-238
Overview -- Cadmium is a soft, low-melting-point metal that has many uses. It is similar in abundance to antimony and bismuth and is the 63d element in order of crustal abundance. Cadmium is associated in nature with zinc (and, less closely, with lead and copper) and is extracted mainly as...
Location, Age, and Tectonic Significance of the Western Idaho Suture Zone (WISZ)
Robert J. Fleck, Robert E. Criss
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1039
The Western Idaho Suture Zone (WISZ) represents the boundary between crust overlying Proterozoic North American lithosphere and Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic intraoceanic crust accreted during Cretaceous time. Highly deformed plutons constituted of both arc and sialic components intrude the WISZ and in places are thrust over the accreted terranes. Pronounced...
Content Metadata Standards for Marine Science: A Case Study

Mineral Deposit Data for Epigenetic Base- and Precious-metal and Uranium-thorium Deposits in South-central and Southwestern Montana and Southern and Central Idaho
T. L. Klein
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1005
Metal deposits spatially associated with the Cretaceous Boulder and Idaho batholiths of southwestern Montana and southern and central Idaho have been exploited since the early 1860s. Au was first discovered in placer deposits; exploitation of vein deposits in bedrock soon followed. In 1865, high-grade Ag vein deposits were discovered and...
Mineral, Energy, and Fertilizer Resources of the North Coast of Peru: Perspective from the Santa Rita B Archaeological Site
William E. Brooks, Jonathan D. Kent, Jason C. Willett
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1024
The Santa Rita B archaeological site is in the Chao Valley, approximately 65 km southeast of Trujillo, northern Peru. Location of Santa Rita B at the emergence of several drainages from the Andean cordillera is an important factor in the almost continuous occupation of the site over the past 3,000...
Surficial Geologic Map of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Region, Tennessee and North Carolina
Scott Southworth, Art Schultz, Danielle Denenny, James Triplett
2004, Open-File Report 2003-381
The Surficial Geology of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Region, Tennessee and North Carolina was mapped from 1993 to 2003 under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Park Service (NPS). This 1:100,000-scale digital geologic map was compiled from 2002 to 2003 from unpublished...
Annual Report for 2003 Wild Horse Research and Field Activities
Jason Ransom, Francis J. Singer, Linda Zeigenfuss
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1264
As stated in the Wild Horse Fertility Control Field Trial Plan, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has an immediate need for a safe, effective contraceptive agent to assist in the management of the large number of wild horses on western rangelands. The BLM and the U.S. Geological Survey-Biological Resources...
An economic analysis of alternative fertility control and associated management techniques for three BLM wild horse herds
John M. Bartholow
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1199
Contemporary cost projections were computed for several alternative strategies that could be used by BLM to manage three wild horse populations. The alternatives included existing gather and selective removal methods, combined with potential contraceptive applications of varying duration and other potentially useful management techniques. Costs were projected for a 20-year...
