Borehole gravity surveys in native-sulfur deposits, Culberson and Pecos counties, Texas
James W. Schmoker, Stephen L. Robbins
1979, Open-File Report 79-361
Native-sulfur deposits in west Texas are heterogeneous, with sulfur content and formation properties varying significantly over small vertical and horizontal distances. The zone of recovery of the Frasch process extends tens or even hundreds of feet around each recovery well, but the investigation depth of most wire-line logs is measured...

Coal resources of southeastern Massachusetts assessed in 1942
Newton Earl Chute
1979, Open-File Report 79-1140
Large easily mined coal deposits of usable quality would be of great value to Massachusetts, particularly in war time. Every effort has been made in this study to evaluate the probable occurrence, quantity, and quality of the coal deposits in southeastern Massachusetts but unfortunately it is impossible from surface observations...
Stratigraphic sections of Jurassic San Rafael Group and adjacent rocks in Wayne County, Utah
James Clifton Wright, Dayton Delbert Dickey, Richard P. Snyder
1979, Open-File Report 79-1126
These sections were measured prior to 1960, before adoption of the metric system. Publication was delayed by other assignments of the authors and later by the untimely death of J. C. Wright. They are being released at this time because of the increased interest in the uranium potential of Jurassic...

Rock Analysis Storage System (RASS), Saudi Arabia; an introduction to the system and sample submittal manual, 1978
Lamont O. Wilch, L.D. North
1979, Open-File Report 79-591
The U.S. Geological Survey Saudi Arabian Mission has the responsibility for implementing a computer-based file known as the Rock Analysis Storage System (RASS), which is principally a geochemical data bank or library. Geologic parameters are necessarily provided for, but are far from comprehensive; nevertheless, nine years of operation in the...

Connector well experiment to recharge the Floridan Aquifer, East Orange County, Florida
P. W. Bush
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-73
An experimental connector well, screened in the shallow sand aquifer, finished with open hole in the Floridan aquifer, and cased through the confining layer between the two aquifers, was drilled in east Orange County, Florida, to obtain information on the nature and function of the shallow aquifer as related to...
Sulfate geothermometry of thermal waters in the western United States
Nancy L. Nehring, Robert H. Mariner, Lloyd D. White, Mark A. Huebner, E.D. Roberts, Karen Harmon, P.A. Bowen, Lane Tanner
1979, Open-File Report 79-1135
Sulfate geothermometry recently gained acceptance as a geothermal exploration tool when it was adopted as one of the geothermometers in the Assessment of Geothermal Resources of the United States-1978 (Muffler 1979). Over 120 samples, 75 of which are from Known Geothermal Resource Areas, were used in the assessment. Data required...
Variation of alluvial-channel width with discharge and character of sediment
W. R. Osterkamp
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-15
Use of channel measurements to estimate discharge characteristics of alluvial streams has shown that little agreement exists for the exponent of the width-discharge relation. For the equation Q = aWAb, where Q is mean discharge and WA is active-channel width, it is proposed that the exponent, b, should be of...

On October 31, November 1 and 3, 1978, forty-eight gravity stations were established near Helena, in the Broadwater geothermal area, west-central Montana (fig. 1)....

Interpretation of thermoluminescence patterns around a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit
Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-774
Thermoluminescence from quartz and feldspar grains in samples collected from the vicinity of a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit show an increase in the importance of high-temperature thermoluminescence relative to low-temperature thermoluminescence of samples which are believed to be former positions of the migrating mineralized front. This effect is believed to...

Effects of pumping on ground-water levels near Taylorsville, Bartholomew County, Indiana
Michael Planert, Patrick Tucci
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-20
A two-dimensional digital flow model was used to estimate the effects of continuous pumping of a public-supply well field on the ground-water levels near Taylorsville, Indiana. Results of the modeling showed that the water levels would decline from less than 1 to about 4.5 feet within the study area and...
Uranium and thorium in granitic rocks of northeastern Washington and northern Idaho, with comments on uranium resource potential
J. Thomas Nash
1979, Open-File Report 79-233
Northeastern Washington and northern Idaho is a uranium province in which many Cretaceous and Tertiary granitic plutons contain abnormal amounts of uranium. Mean uranium content of 108 samples of granitic rock is 8.8 parts per million (ppm), more than twice normal for rocks of this composition. The mean thorium content,...
