Chemical composition of ground water in the Yucca Mountain area, Nevada, 1971-84
L. V. Benson, P. W. McKinley
1985, Open-File Report 85-484
Fifteen wells in the Yucca Mountain area of southern Nevada have been sampled for chemical analysis. Samples were obtained by pumping water from the entire well bore (composite sample), and, in three instances, by pumping from one or more isolated intervals within a well bore. Sodium is the most abundant...

Preliminary report on gold deposits at Meshaheed, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
C. W. Smith, R.M. Samater
1985, Open-File Report 85-9
A fault-controlled, hydrothermal system deposited gold, stibnite, and quartz in metasediments, intrusive basalt, and diorite in an area approximately 3 by 5 km in the Meshaheed area of the northeastern Arabian Shield. Veins in metasediments appear to be lenticular and average less than 1 m thick. A related, quartz-pyrite stockwork...

This report summarizes the distribution of phytoplankton Momass and selected hydrographic properties measured in South San Francisco Bay during 1983- There were a total of 45 cruises over the year with the most frequent sampling occurring during the spring. Parameters measured were: chlorophyll a, phaeopigments, in-vivo fluorescence, turbidity, salinity, and...
Phytoplankton Abundance and Generic Composition Data for the Potomac River and Estuary, Maryland
R.R.H. Cohen, S.O. Pollock, V.E. Stoelzel, K.E. Boulukos
1985, Open-File Report 84-859
Phytoplankton of the Potomac River and Estuary were counted and identified to the generic level. Double-blind precision tests for an individual counter yielded a standard deviation that was * 10 percent of the mean. Differences between three counters exceeded * 10 percent, and a curve could be fit to calibration...

Mineralogy of drill cores from Jabal Sa'id, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
M.H. Staatz, I. K. Brownfield
1985, Open-File Report 85-12
The mineralogy of three drill cores from the apogranite at Jabal Sa'id was determined principally to identify those minerals containing rare earths, niobium, tantalum, thorium, zirconium, and tin. Heavy mineral studies of two other drill cores indicate that the deposit is enriched in rare earths. The principal rare earth minerals...
