1957, Water Supply Paper 1460-C
The Snake River Plain and tributary valleys south of the Snake River between Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho (here called the South Side area), contain about 180,000 acres of irrigated land, of which 145,000 acres is irrigated with surface water and 35,000 is irrigated wholly or partly with ground water. The area also contains...
Lead-alpha age determinations of granitic rocks from Alaska
John J. Matzko, H.W. Jaffe, C. L. Waring
1957, Trace Elements Investigations 618
Lead-alpha activity age determinations were made on zircon from seven granitic rocks of central and southeastern Alaska. The results of the age determinations indicate two periods of igneous intrusion, one about 95 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, and another about 53 million years ago, during the early part...

Lithofacies of the salt wash member of the Morrison Formation, Colorado plateau
T. E. Mullens, V. L. Freeman
1957, Geological Society of America Bulletin (68) 505-526
The Salt Wash is the basal member of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in parts of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. Deposited by streams, it comprises lenticular beds of cross-laminated sandstone irregularly interbedded with mudstone, siltstone, claystone, and horizontally laminated sandstone. The term "lithofacies," as used in this paper,...
Franciscan group in Coast Ranges and its equivalents in Sacramento Valley, California
William P. Irwin
1957, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (41) 2284-2297
The Franciscan group is an assemblage of detrital and chemical sedimentary and volcanic rocks that crops out discontinuously in a structurally complex, northwesterly trending belt along the Coast Ranges of Cahfornia. On the east, along the west side of the Sacramento Valley, a thick section of detrital sedimentary rocks has...
Eastern and central Montana as a possible source area of uranium
Frank Clarkson Armstrong
1957, Economic Geology (52) 211-224
Geologic settings in central and eastern Montana and in a few places in southwestern Montana are similar to the settings in areas favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. Several areas in Montana seem especially favorable for the occurrence of uranium.The alkalic igneous rock province of central Montana is similar...
