Harlan H. Schwob, Richard E. Myers
1965, Open-File Report 65-145
The great flood of 1965 on the Mississippi River, along the eastern border if the State, exceeded any flood known in 139 years. It cause damages probably in excess of ten millions of dollars in the State of Iowa. Studied now in progress will more thoroughly cover this and other...
Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian biostratigraphy of east-central Alaska
Michael Churkin Jr., Earl E. Brabb
1965, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (49) 172-185
A predominantly shale and chert sequence has been mapped from the Canadian border at Latitude 65°00′ N. to the Nation River about 25 miles northwest. It has Ordovician and Silurian graptolites in the lower half, and Middle Devonian corals and Upper Devonian spores in the upper half.The lower half of...

Gregory A. Davis, M. J. Holdaway, Peter W. Lipman, W. D. Romey
1965, Geological Society of America Bulletin (76) 933-966
In the south-central Klamath Mountains 50 miles of the the north-trending central metamorphic belt and adjacent parts of the eastern Paleozoic and western Paleozoic and Triassic belts have been mapped and studied in detail. Within the central metamorphic belt a sequence of three lithologically distinctive metamorphic units has been recognized...

1965, GSA Bulletin (76)-155
Potassium-argon ages of biotite and hornblende from specimens of 17 granitic plutons in the central Sierra Nevada and the western Inyo Mountains, California, range from 69 to 183 m. y. The Mount Givens, Lamarck. and Round Valley Peak Granodiorites and related younger and more felsic...
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...
Stratigraphy and heavy minerals of the bays formation, Bays Mountain synclinorium, northeast Tennessee
D. Cummings
1965, Geological Society of America Bulletin (76) 591-600
The Bays Mountain synclinorium is in the Valley and Ridge province in northeast Tennessee, southwest of Kingsport and west of Greeneville. The more clastic part of the Bays formation lies in the east section of the synclinorium. The thickness of the Bays decreases from about 870 feet on the east to about 600 feet on the west. Presumably, the red beds and...
Geochemistry of Birch Creek, Inyo County, California a travertine depositing creek in an arid climate
I. Barnes
1965, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (29) 85-112
A small stream in eastern California was studied in detail to determine the causes of travertine deposition from the stream. Although the ground water feeding the stream is slightly supersaturated to just saturated with calcite, the ground water is supersaturated with CO2 with respect...
Selected ground water data in the Eola-Amity Hills area, northern Willamette Valley, Oregon
Don Price, Nyra A. Johnson
1965, Report
Occurrence, quality, and availability of ground water differ considerably from place to place in the Eola-Amity Hills area because of the highly diversified geologic and hydrologic conditions. A table relates the geologic situation to the availability of ground water for four...
Geology and ground-water resources of the Jordan Valley, Utah
I. Wendell Marine, Don Price
1964, Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey Water-Resources Bulletin 7
The Jordan Valley occupies about 400 square miles in the central part of Salt Lake County in north-central Utah. Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, is in the northeastern part of the valley. The valley is at the eastern margin of the Basin and range physiographic province, and it...
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...
Water resources of the English River, Old Mans Creek, and Clear Creek basins in Iowa
H.H. Schwob
1964, Open-File Report 64-141
The surface and ground water resources of a 991 square mile area comprising the drainage basins of English River, Old Mans Creek and Clear Creek are presented. These basins lie to the west and southwest of Iowa City, Iowa, and all three streams are tributary to the Iowa River. The...
Bedrock topography of the eastern and central Mesabi Range, northeastern Minnesota
E.L. Oakes
1964, IMAP 389
The Mesabi iron-mining district or range, is in north-eastern Minnesota, 60 to 85 miles west of Lake Superior. The Mesabi Range, in this report, includes the iron-mining belt, ¼ of a mile to 3 miles wide, that extends for 120 miles in a northeasterly direction across Itasca and St. Louis...

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...
