Glaciation and drainage changes in the fish Lake Plateau, Utah
Clyde T. Hardy, S. Muessig
1952, Geological Society of America Bulletin (63) 1109-1116
The Fish Lake Plateau, nearly centrally located among the High Plateaus of Utah, exhibits glacial and other geomorphic features of regional significance. The plateau is divided into two areas by Fish Lake and the wide valley of Sevenmile Creek. The Fish Lake trough is a structural basin; Sevenmile Valley may be largely erosional. Volcanic rocks of Tertiary age underlie most of the plateau;...
Pimpled plains of Eastern Oklahoma
M. M. Knechtel
1952, Geological Society of America Bulletin (63) 689-700
Patterns formed by the networks of furrows separating the natural mounds of pimpled plains in eastern Oklahoma are regarded as attributable to shrinkage-polygon systems of coarse texture comparable to those occurring (1) in mound-studded parts of the northwestern United States that are underlain by vertically jointed basalt, (2) in tracts of Alaskan tundra that are occupied...

Radioactivity at the Copper Creek copper lode prospect, Eagle district, east-central Alaska
Helmuth Wedow, Gene Edward Tolbert
1952, Trace Elements Investigations 195
Investigation of radioactivity anomalies at the Copper Creek copper lode prospect, Eagle district, east-central Alaska, during 1949 disclosed that the radioactivity is associated with copper mineralization in highly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks. These rocks are a roof pendant in the Mesozoic "Charley River" batholith. The radioactivity is probably all due to...
