Occurrence of strontium in the surface and ground waters of Champaign county, Ohio
A.J. Feulner, J.H. Hubble
1960, Economic Geology (55) 176-186
Naturally occurring strontium was found in both surface and ground waters during an investigation of the water resources of Champaign County, Ohio. The strontium is related to the presence of celestite (strontium sulfate) in rocks associated with evaporite deposition. The principal source of celestite in Ohio is in rocks of Late Silurian age. Celestite is present also in the glacial...

Earthquake fluctuations in wells in New Jersey
Charles R. Austin
1960, New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply Water Resources Circular 5
New Jersey is fortunate to be situated in a region that is relatively stable, geologically. For this reason scientists believe, on the basis of the best scientific evidence available, that the chances of New Jersey experiencing a major earthquake are very small. The last major earthquake on the east coast...

The papers comprising the various parts of this report contain preliminary results of the U. S. Geological Survey investigations in the U12b.03 and U12b.04 tunnels at the Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada (fig. 1). The geologic studies were undertaken to define the structural, chemical, mineralogic, and some of the...
Thickness, character, and structure of upper Permian evaporites in part of Eddy County, New Mexico
Charles Leslie Jones
1959, Trace Elements Memorandum 1033
Between Project Gnome site and the International Minerals and Chemical Corporation's plant site, in central eastern Eddy County, N. Mex., unconsolidated deposits of Quaternary age and redbeds of Triassic age attain a thickness of about 700 feet, and rest unconformably on evaporites of late Permian age. The upper Permian evaporites...
Gravity and seismic exploration in Yucca Valley, Nevada test site, January-April, 1959
William H. Diment, D.L. Healey, J.C. Roller
1959, Trace Elements Investigations 545
The thickness of the alluvial and tuffaceous deposits that overlie bedrock in Yucca Valley has been inferred from gravity and seismic measurements. Preliminary interpretations indicate that these deposits are thickest in a narrow north-trending trough in the eastern part of the valley. The gravity data delineate a buried north-trending ridge...

Iron-ore resources of the United States including Alaska and Puerto Rico, 1955
Martha S. Carr, Carl E. Dutton
1959, Bulletin 1082-C
The importance of iron ore, the basic raw material of steel, as a fundamental mineral, resource is shown by the fact that about 100 million long tons of steel is used annually in the economy of the United States, as compared with a combined total of about 5 million long...

1959, Trace Elements Memorandum 998
The U12b.01 tunnel is part of the U12b (Rainier) tunnel system driven northwestward from the east slope of Rainier Mesa (figs. 1 and 2). Geologic and geophysical studies in this tunnel were conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey on behalf of the Albuquerque Operations Office of the Atomic Energy Commission....
Surface waters of Illinois River basin in Arkansas and Oklahoma
L.L. Laine
1959, Open-File Report 59-76
The estimated runoff from the Illinois River basin of 1,660 square miles has averaged 1,160,000 acre-feet per year during the water years 1938-56, equivalent to an average annual runoff depth of 13.1 inches. About 47 percent of the streamflow is contributed from drainage in Arkansas, where an average of 550,000...
