In the early hours of March 30, 1867, Secretary of State William H. Seward completed the purchase of the remote and unexplored land known as Russian America, or Alaska. Discovered in 1741 by Vitus Bering, Alaska progressed from a Czarist colony to a territory of the United States, and finally,...
Aquilapollenites (Rouse) Funkhouser — Selected Rocky Mountain taxa and their stratigraphic ranges
Bernadine D. Tschudy, Estella B. Leopold
Robert M. Kosanke, Aureal T. Cross, editor(s)
1970, Book chapter, Symposium on palynology of the late Cretaceous and early Tertiary
The genus Aquilapollenites and its type species, A. quadrilobus, are redescribed, and the latter is illustrated. This report summarizes our present information on stratigraphic ranges of selected Rocky Mountain species and varieties of Aquilapollenites. Of the 17 taxa...
Palynology of the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary in the northern Rocky Mountain and Mississippi Embayment regions
Robert H. Tschudy
Robert M. Kosanke, Aureal T. Cross, editor(s)
1970, Book chapter, Symposium on Palynology of the Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary
In both the Rocky Mountain and the Mississippi Embayment regions it is often difficult to distinguish Upper Cretaceous from lower Tertiary rocks on the basis of physical characteristics; the transition can be recognized with relative ease, however, on the basis of abrupt qualitative changes in plant microfossils. Many Cretaceous species...
Effects of oil development in Arctic America
J. C. Reed
1970, Biological Conservation (2) 273-277
Large and important discoveries of petroleum were made in northern Alaska in 1968. The reserves were estimated then to be perhaps as much as ten thousand million barrels. Subsequent exploration has shown the resources to be much greater than was estimated earlier. Many...

Foraminiferal zonation and carbonate facies of Carboniferous (Mississippian and Pennsylvanian) Lisburne group, central and eastern Brooks range, Arctic Alaska
Augustus K. Armstrong, Bernard L. Mamet, J. Thomas Dutro
1970, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (54) 687-698
The Lisburne Group carbonate rocks of the central and eastern Brooks Range contain foraminiferal assemblages assigned to zones of late Tournaisian (Osage) to early Moscovian (Atoka) age. Representatives of both Eurasiatic and American cratonic microfaunas permit correlation with the original Carboniferous type sections in western Europe as well as with...

1969, Professional Paper 542
This is the second in a series of six reports that the U.S. Geological Survey published on the results of a comprehensive geologic study that began, as a reconnaissance survey, within 24 hours after the March 27, 1964, Magnitude 9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake and extended, as detailed investigations, through several...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, on various communities
George Plafker, Reuben Kachadoorian, Edwin B. Eckel, Lawrence R. Mayo
1969, Professional Paper 542-G
The 1964 earthquake caused wide-spread damage to inhabited places throughout more than 60,000 square miles of south-central Alaska. This report describes damage to all communities in the area except Anchorage, Whittier, Homer, Valdez, Seward, the communities of the Kodiak group of islands, and communities in the Copper River Basin; these...

Asbestos occurrence in the Eagle C-4 quadrangle, Alaska
Helen Laura Foster
1969, Circular 611
An asbestos occurrence was discovered in a remote part of the Eagle quadrangle, Alaska, in the summer of 1968 during geologic reconnaissance in connection with the U.S. Geological Survey's Heavy Metals program. The exposed part of the deposit consists of large joint blocks of serpentine which are cut by closely...
Paleogene floras from the Gulf of Alaska
Jack A. Wolfe
1969, Open-File Report 69-323
Numerous collections of fossil plants from the Gulf of Alaska region were obtained from rocks that are well dated by marine mollusks. The mollusks indicate that the oldest possible age for the lowest plant assemblage is middle Eocene (Domengine) and that the youngest possible age for the highest Paleogene plant...
