Zirconium and hafnium in the southeastern Atlantic States
J.B. Mertie Jr.
1958, Bulletin 1082-A
The principal source of zirconium and hafnium is zircon, though a minor source is baddeleyite, mined only in Brazil. Zircon is an accessory mineral in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks, but rarely occurs in hardrock in minable quantities. The principal sources of zircon are therefore alluvial deposits, which are mined...

Ground water in the alluvial deposits of the Washita River and its tributaries in Oklahoma
A.R. Leonard, L.V. Davis, B.L. Stacy
1958, Open-File Report 58-63
Physical features.--The Washita River heads in the Texas Panhandle, in Hemphill, Roberts, and Wheeler Counties. It flows generally east-southeastward through southwestern and south-central Oklahoma to its confluence with the Red River above Denison, Texas, at a point about 4 miles northwest of Cartwright, Oklahoma. That point of confluence is now...
History of natural flows--Kansas River
Elwood R. Leeson
1958, Open-File Report 58-62
Through its Water Resources Division, the United States Geological Survey has become the major water-resources historian for the nation. The Geological Survey's collection of streamflow records in Kansas began on a very small scale in 1895 in response to some early irrigation interest, Since that time the program has grown,...

Metamorphosed middle Paleozoic fossils from Central Massachusetts, eastern Vermont, and western New Hampshire
A. J. Boucot, G.J.F. Macdonald, C. Milton, James B. Thompson Jr.
1958, Geological Society of America Bulletin (69) 855-870
Study of thin and polished sections and spectrographic analyses indicate that the brachiopod most recently used to date the Bernardston Formation in Massachusetts probably came from Lower Devonian beds (chlorite zone) in Nova Scotia, and not from Bernardston, Massachusetts. Restudy of the faunule from the calcareous quartzite (garnet zone) of...
Stratigraphy of ocoee series, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee and North Carolina
P.B. King, J. B. Hadley, R. B. Neuman, W. Hamilton
1958, Geological Society of America Bulletin (69) 947-966
Much of the Great Smoky Mountains, which span the boundary between Tennessee and North Carolina, is formed of the Ocoee series, of later Precambrian age. This is a body of terrigenous clastic sedimentary rocks, which has minor intercalations of limestone and dolomite but no volcanic components or known fossils. The...

Geology of Kapingamarangi Atoll, Caroline Islands
Edwin D. McKee
1958, GSA Bulletin (69) 241-278
Kapingamarangi Atoll of the Caroline Islands consists of a peripheral reef, 1000-4000 feet across, surrounding a nearly circular lagoon which is 5 by 6 nautical miles in area and about 240 feet at maximum depth. Thirty-three islands, most of which are less than half a mile in length, are scattered...
Uranium deposits under conglomeratic sandstone of the Morrison Formation, Colorado and Utah
D. A. Phoenix
1958, GSA Bulletin (69) 403-418
In southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah, strata of conglomeratic sandstone are localized at the base of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation of Jurassic age. These discrete lithologic units contain sedimentary structures oriented in a prevailing easterly direction. They are believed to cover about one-third of the underlying...
