Holocene submergence of the Eastern Shore of Virginia
W.S. Newman, G.A. Rusnak
1965, Science (148) 1464-1466
Radiocarbon ages of basal peats 4500 years old or younger and the thickness of salt-marsh peat in the lagoon east of Wachapreague, Virginia, are nearly the same as those of equivalent samples from New Jersey and Cape Cod. This suggests that these coasts have had similar submergence histories. Data obtained...

Continental crust
L. C. Pakiser
1964, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 20
The structure of the Earth’s crust (the outer shell of the earth above the M-discontinuity) has been intensively studied in many places by use of geophysical methods. The velocity of seismic compressional waves in the crust and in the upper mantle varies from place to place in the conterminous United...
Crustal structure in the eastern Colorado Plateaus Provence from seismic-refraction measurements
John C. Roller
1964, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 19
A reversed seismic-refraction profile was recorded in the Colorado Plateaus Province from Hanksville, Utah, to Chinle, Arizona, The velocity of Pg is 6.2 km/sec, and the true velocity of Pn is 7.8 km/sec, Waves identified as reflections indicate that an intermediate layer in the crust has a velocity of approximately...
A merganser die-off associated with larval eustrongylides
L. N. Locke, J.B. DeWitt, C. M. Menzie, J.A. Kerwin
1964, Avian Diseases (8) 420-427
A die-off of red-breasted mergansers on Lake Holly, Virginia Beach, Virginia, was found to be due to a larval Eustrongylides. Massive tissue destruction and hemorrhage was produced by the migration of the larval Eustrongylides. Earlier stages of the same Eustrongylides were found in eastern mosquitofish and silversides upon which the...

The Green Bay area, which includes parts of Brown, Outagamie, and Shawano Counties, has an area of about 525 square miles in eastern Wisconsin at the south end of Green Bay. In 1960, it had a population estimated at 124,000; Green Bay, the largest city in the area, had a...
Oxidized zinc districts in California and Nevada
Allen Van Heyl, C. N. Bozion
1964, Mineral Investigations Resource Map 39
Deposits of oxidized zinc-bearing ores are widely distributed in Nevada, except in the northwest corner, and are abundant in Inyo and San Bernardino Counties in the northern desert region of California. Known deposits elsewhere in the two States are few, widely spaced, and generally small. The main production has been...
