Gary R. Winkler, G. R. Winkler, Warren L. Coonrad, George Claypool
1980, Open-File Report 80-1089
Forty samples of Tertiary and Cretaceous outcrop or suspected outcrop were dredged along the 250-km-long northwest-trending continental slope between long 138°00' W. and 142°30' W. These samples, from water depths of 3,150 m to 200 m, combined with seismic reflection data, identify seven rock units in apparently normal stratigraphic position....

Correlation of coal beds, coal zones, and key stratigraphic units in the Pennsylvanian rocks of eastern Kentucky
Charles L. Rice, J. Hiram Smith
1980, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1188
The Pennsylvanian rocks of the eastern Kentucky coal field unlderlie an area of about 27,000 square kilometers (see index map). Largely because of the size and stratigraphic complexity of the area, Huddle and others (1963, p. 31) divided it into six coal reserve districts (unofficial), utilizing state and county lines...

R.E. Arnal, P. J. Quinterno, T. J. Conomos, Ralph Gram
1980, Cushman Foundation Special Publication (19) 17-39
Much of the bathymetry of the southern part of San Francisco Bay reflects the drainage pattern of late Pleistocene streams. Holocene estuarine silt and clay cover most of the bay floor; relict eolian and deltaic sand occurs along the eastern shore; sandy patches are present in the main channel owing...
Coincident sediment slump/clathrate complexes on the U.S. Atlantic continental slope
George B. Carpenter
1980, Geo-Marine Letters (1) 29-32
High-resolution seismic reflection data recorded on the continental slope off the east coast of the United States have revealed instances of sediment mass movement (slumps) which appear to occur above clathrate accumulations. The slumping is believed to be related to the liberation of free gas by clathrate decomposition and consequent...
Geology of the Ridge and Valley Province, northwestern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania
Jack B. Epstein
1980, Conference Paper, Field studies of New Jersey geology and guide to field trips; 52nd annual meeting of the New York State Geological Association
The rocks seen in this segment of the field trip range in age from Middle Ordovician to Middle Devonian and constitute a deep basin-continental-shallow shelf succession. Within this succession, three lithotectonic units, or sequences of rock that were deformed semi-independently of each other, have somewhat different structural characteristics. Both the...

The lower Upper Cretaceous strata in northeastern Wyoming, which have yielded major quantities of oil and gas, were sampled at boreholes in Converse, Johnson, and Weston Counties. Cores of noncalcareous shale of largely nearshore-marine origin were obtained from the Frontier Formation and the overlying Cody Shale at depths of 3,780.6...
