Means of recognizing source beds
P.D. Trask, H.W. Patnode
1936, Conference Paper
Eight characteristics of sediments are considered as possible means of recognizing source beds: 1, quantity of organic matter in the sediments; 2, reducing power, which is a measure of ability of the sediments to reduce chromic acid; 3, color of sediments; 4, volatility of sediments; 5, degree of volatility, which...

The pre-Cambrian igneous rocks of eastern Pennsylvania and Maryland
Florence Bascom
1935, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (16) 328-350
The Blue Ridge and Piedmont geomorphic provinces, topographically distinct but geologically a unit, extend southwestward across eastern Pennsylvania and central Maryland, in a belt with an average width in these States of some 50 miles. In these provinces are exposed the crystalline formations of the Atlantic belt. Gneisses (with sporadic...

Nelson Horatio Darton
1933, Bulletin 845
The Southern Pacific Railroad from New Orleans to Los Angeles, a distance of about 2,000 miles, passes through a region exhibiting a great variety of geographic and industrial conditions. The climate, especially the amount of precipitation, is the most influential factor in causing this variety. The low Coastal Plain of southern...
Further remarks on the Cripple Creek Volcano, Colorado
G. F. Loughlin
1933, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (14) 243-243
Structural evidence, particularly in the deeper mine‐workings, indicates that the volcano, which is of Tertiary age, was developed by explosive eruptions at a number of points along intersecting fissure‐systems that had been formed in pre‐Cambrian granite by east‐west compression, probably during the Laramide revolution. The volcanic breccia, which consists principally of...
Fluctuations of water‐surface in observation‐wells and at stream gaging‐stations in the Mokelumne Area, California, during the earthquake of December 20, 1932
Arthur M. Piper
1933, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (14) 471-475
On December 20, 1932, much of the western United States felt a pronounced earthquake‐shock which caused noticeable fluctuations of the water‐surface in several observation‐wells and at two stream gaging‐stations in the Mokelumne Area, central California. These effects of the earthquake are reported briefly in this paper.According to Dr. Byerly (personal...
