1963, Geological Society of America Bulletin (74) 251-274
The segment of the abandoned pre-Pleistocene Teays Valley between Scary and Huntington, W. Va. stands 130-240 feet above the Ohio and Kanawha rivers, and its bedrock floor slopes westward at about 0.6 foot per mile. The bedrock floor is overlain by highly weathered gravel in which a soil profile developed;...
Early pennsylvanian currents in the southern Appalachian Mountains
J. Schlee
1963, Geological Society of America Bulletin (74) 1439-1451
Measurement of more than 1200 cross-beds in lower Pennsylvanian sandstones of the southern Appalachian Mountains reveals a broad pattern of sediment transport to the southwest and west. Most of the sand appears to have been derived from the east and to have moved south-westward parallel to the axis of the...
Factors influencing the pore volume of fine-grained sediments under low-to-moderate overburden loads
R.H. Meade
1963, Sedimentology (2) 235-242
An anomalous increase of pore volume with increasing depth in the range 0—1,900 ft. occurs in fine‐grained sediments along the east side of the San Joaquin Valley of Cali‐ fornia. Several possible causes for the anomaly were inferred from a literature search and from study of the core samples. Statistical analyses of...

Applications of geohydrologic concepts in geology
G. B. Maxey, J. E. Hackett
1963, Journal of Hydrology (1) 35-45
Subsurface water, an active agent in many geologic proceses, must be considered in interpreting geologic phenomena. Principles of the occurrence, distribution, and movement of subsurface waters are well established and readily applicable. In many interpretations in geologic literature, geohydrologic principles have been employed realistically, but in many others these principles...
