Geology and ore deposits of the Klondike Ridge area, Colorado
John David Vogel
1960, Open-File Report 60-145
The region described in this report is in the northeastern part of the Colorado Plateau and is transitional between two major structural elements. The western part is typical of the salt anticline region of the Plateau, but the eastern part has features which reflect movements in the nearby San Juan...
Thickness and consolidation of deep-sea sediments: A discussion
G.H. Davis
1960, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (71) 1727-1728
Hamilton (1959) concluded that in most sediments excess pore-water pressure is equal to zero - that is, the hydrostatic pressure is at atmospheric pressure. This note points out that in terrestrial environments the occurrence of artesian water (excess pore-water pressure) is commonplace and widespread and that such excess pressure is the...
Application of seismic methods to a ground-water problem in northeastern Ohio
R. E. Warrick, J.D. Winslow
1960, Geophysics (25) 505-519
Valleys cut in the bedrock in northeastern Ohio by Tertiary and Pleistocene streams have been filled by Pleistocene glacial drift so that there is little surface evidence of their existence. Some of these buried valleys are good sources of ground water, so information regarding the location, depth, and cross-section of the buried...
Preparation of monolayer cell cultures from tissues of some lower vertebrates
K. Wolf, M. C. Quimby, E. A. Pyle, R.P. Dexter
1960, Science (132) 1890-1891
Cold trypsin dispersion at pH 7.2 was used to obtain cultivable cells and cell groups from tissues of six species of fresh-water bony fishes, a frog, and a turtle. The cells readily attached to glass and were capable of at least limited, and in some cases extended, division in media consisting...
Position of the salt-water body in the magothy(?) formation in the Cedarhurst-Woodmere area of southwestern Nassau county, Long Island, N.Y.
N.J. Lusczynski, W.V. Swarzenski
1960, Economic Geology (55) 1739-1750
The position and chloride concentration of a sizable body of salt water, moving slowly landsyard from the south-shore bays of Long Island and the Atlantic Ocean were defined by recent test drilling in the Cedarhurst-Woodmere area of southwestern Nassau County, Long Island, N. Most of the salt-water body is in the lower part of a...

Metallization and post-mineral hypogene argillization, Lost River tin mine, Alaska
C.L. Sainsbury
1960, Economic Geology (55) 1478-1506
The Lost River tin and tungsten deposit occurs in a buried granite pluton and in associated rhyolite dikes that intrude Paleozoic limestone. The dikes and parts of the granite were greisenized and then argillized irregularly. Metallization accompanied greisenization rather than argilli-zation, although both processes probably were closely related in time. Iron-zinc ratios...
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...
Montana earthquakes noted in pennsylvania mine‐water pools
W.B. Hopkins, T.A. Simpson
1960, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (41) 435-436
A recent paper by daCosta [1959] reported water‐level fluctuations caused by the Montana earthquake of August 18, 1959, and mentioned the fluctuations registered in three mine‐water pools of the Northern anthracite field in northeastern Pennsylvania, ten miles north of Wilkes‐Barre. This paper will discuss the water‐level phenomena of these pools in more detail. Most...
Chemical equilibrium diagrams for ground-water systems/les graphiques de l'équilibre chimique pour les systèmes des eaux souterrainnes
J.D. Hem
1960, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (5) 45-53
Chemical equilibrium in water in contact with calcite is expressed by means of a pH grid overlay on a log-log plot of activities of bicarbonate vs. calcium ions. Solubility of ferrous iron and the solid-phase minerals that would be stable in a solution containing activities of 10 ppm of sulfate...

Extract ability of humic acid from coalified logs as a guide to temperatures in colorado plateau sediments
Irving A. Breger, J.C. Chandler
1960, Economic Geology (55) 1039-1047
Coalified logs in Triassic and Jurassic sediments of the Colorado Plateau have been exposed to alkaline ground water. Extraction of humic acids under such conditions is temperature dependent. Study of residual humic acids in a suite of coalified logs has indicated that temperatures up to but not over 120° C prevailed in the sediments. This maximum temperature corresponds with that...

Deposits of the manganese oxides
Richard G. Petersen
1960, Economic Geology (55) 1-55
One of the problems of the wartime program of studies of domestic manganese deposits concerned the identification of, and modes of origin of the manganese oxide minerals. Of the hundreds of specimens of the oxides collected in the United States, the minerals of about 250...
Geobotanical map of the U.S.S.R.
V.B. Sochava
1960, International Geology Review (2) 311-321
A newly compiled geobotanical map of the U.S.S.R. scale 1:4,000,000 is described. Two hundred and ten categories of vegetation are mapped, classified under 15 major groups. The relation of the mapped vegetation units to climate, soil, ground condition (permafrost), watersheds, and major geomorphic features is emphasized....
Part I, the development of the method
I. Friedman, R. Smith
1960, American Antiquity (25) 476-493
A freshly exposed surface of obsidian will take up water from the atmosphere to form a hydrated surface layer. This layer has a different density and refractive index than does the remainder of the obsidian. Using special techniques, a thin section of the obsidian cut at right angles to the...

Occurrence of strontium in the surface and ground waters of Champaign county, Ohio
A.J. Feulner, J.H. Hubble
1960, Economic Geology (55) 176-186
Naturally occurring strontium was found in both surface and ground waters during an investigation of the water resources of Champaign County, Ohio. The strontium is related to the presence of celestite (strontium sulfate) in rocks associated with evaporite deposition. The principal source of celestite in Ohio is in rocks of Late Silurian age. Celestite is present also in the glacial...
Geology and ground-water hydrology of the Redlands-Beaumont area, California, with special reference to ground-water outflow
W.L. Burnham, Lee Carlton Dutcher
1960, Report
The Redlands-Beaumont area is bordered by the Santa Ana River on the north, the San Bernadina River on the northeast, the Yucaipa Hills and the San Gorgonio Pass on the east, and the Badlands and the San Jacinto fault on the south and south-west. Large alluvial fans underlie much of...
Geology and ground-water resources of the island of Kauai, Hawaii
Gordon A. Macdonald, Dan A. Davis, Doak C. Cox
1960, Bulletin 13
Kauai is one of the oldest, and is structurally the most complicated, of the Hawaiian Islands. Like the others, it consists principally of a huge shield volcano, built up from the sea floor by many thousands of thin flows of basaltic lava. The volume of the Kauai shield was on...
Earthquake fluctuations in wells in New Jersey
Charles R. Austin
1960, New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply Water Resources Circular 5
New Jersey is fortunate to be situated in a region that is relatively stable, geologically. For this reason scientists believe, on the basis of the best scientific evidence available, that the chances of New Jersey experiencing a major earthquake are very small. The last major earthquake on the east coast...
