Redefinition of the terms Kingsport Formation and Mascot Dolomite and subdivisions of the upper part of the Knox Group in eastern Tennessee
Leonard Dorrean Harris
1968, Open-File Report 68-119
Upper part of the Knox Group has previously been divided into three formations; however, because of the lack of regionally recognizable boundaries, there has been a marked inconsistency as to the rocks assigned by different workers to the Longview Dolomite, Kingsport Formation and Mascot Dolomite. Regional stratigraphic studies have pointed...

Chemical quality of surface waters in Devils Lake basin North Dakota, 1952-60
Hugh T. Mitten, C.H. Scott, Philip G. Rosene
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-B
Above-normal precipitation in 1954, 1956, and 1957 caused the water surface of Devils Lake to rise to an altitude of 1,419.3 feet, its highest in 40 years. Nearly all the water entering the lake flowed through Big Coulee, and about three-fourths of that inflow was at rates greater than 100...

1968, Hydrologic Atlas 272
The Mustinka and Bois de Sioux Rivers watershed is mantled by till deposits with scattered sand deposits. The west-central and northwestern part of the watershed was covered by Glacial Lake Agassiz and the resulting land surface is a flat, lake-washed till plain. Patches and ridges of sand scattered throughout the lake...

Ground-water resources of Monmouth County, New Jersey
Leo A. Jablonski
1968, New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply Special Report 23
Monmouth County includes an area of 538 square miles in east-central New Jersey. The climate is characterized by moderate temperature, moderate humidity, and moderate precipitation. The exposed rocks in the area are chiefly sands and clays, which range in age from Late Cretaceous through Recent. The formations strike northeast-southwest and dip...
The age of the Puerto Rico Trench
W. H. Monroe
1968, Geological Society of America Bulletin (79) 487-494
The Puerto Rico Trench is parallel to and north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and reaches depths of more than 8000 meters. Puerto Rico, the closest land area, has a central longitudinal core of Cretaceous and early Tertiary volcanic rocks, some serpentinite of undetermined age, and numerous small...
Effect of predator reduction on waterfowl nesting success
D. S. Balser, Herbert H. Dill, H.K. Nelson
1968, Journal of Wildlife Management (32) 669-682
A 6-year study to determine the effect of nest-predator removal on waterfowl nesting success was conducted at the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Minnesota from 1959 through 1964. Predators were removed from the west side of the Refuge while the east side served as a control area. At the...
Hornblendes from granitic rocks of the central Sierra Nevada batholith, California

1968, GSA Bulletin (79) 527-544
The Burro Mountain body is a crudely equidimensional block of unusually fresh ultramafic rock. This block, along with numerous smaller and more elongate serpentinite bodies, has been emplaced in a highly sheared Franciscan terrane immediately west of the Nacimiento fault. This fault separates two major structural units: (1) on the...
New theory of recharge to the artesian basin of the Dakotas
F. A. Swenson
1968, Geological Society of America Bulletin (79) 163-182
The artesian basin of the Dakotas has been studied for many years. The widely held concept has been that recharge enters the equivalents of the Dakota Sandstone, where they are exposed on the flanks of the Black Hills, and moves through this formation to the area of maximum development of the aquifer in eastern North Dakota and South Dakota. Some anomalies, difficult...
