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...

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...

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...

Geology applied to study of coal mine bumps and mining methods at Sunnyside, Utah
Frank W. Osterwald, C. Richard Dunrud
1964, Open-File Report 64-122
Coal mine bumps are a serious hazard to life and property in the mines of east-central Utah. Research into geologic factors associated with these bumps indicates that the bumps are spatially and genetically related to structural and stratigraphic features. Some bumps are directly related to stress accumulation along faults, either...
