The origin, distribution, and depositional history of gravel deposits on the Beaufort Sea Continental Shelf, Alaska
Craig A. Rodeick
1979, Open-File Report 79-234
Two distinct gravel populations are present on the Beaufort Sea continental shelf. First, a geographically arcuate deposit that is convex seaward has been designated as the Chert Facies. This deposit is restricted to landward of the 10 meter bathymetric contour and west of Heald Point. The Chert Facies, originally a...

Near-surface heat flow in Saline Valley, California
Charles W. Mase, S.P. Galanis, Robert J. Munroe
1979, Open-File Report 79-1136
With the exception of values from one borehole drilled at Palm Spring and three boreholes drilled around Saline Valley dry lake, eight new heat-flow values in Saline Valley, California, are within or somewhat below the range one would expect for this region of the Basin and Range heat-flow province. The...
Titaniferous magnetite in the layered intrusive complex at Lakathah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Conrad Martin, Ralph Jackson Roberts, D. B. Stoeser
1979, Open-File Report 79-1210
The Lakathah layered intrusive complex about 90 km east of Qunfudhah contains significant resources of low-grade titanium-bearing rock. The complex is about 10 km in diameter and consists of three principal units: an outer syenite ring, an intermediate diorite-gabbro zone, and a central pyroxenite-hornblendite core. The principal mineralization zone is...

Water budget and mathematical model of the Coconino Aquifer, southern Navajo County, Arizona
Larry J. Mann
1979, Open-File Report 79-348
The main source of water in the 3,400-square-mile area of southern Navajo County is the large volume of ground water in storage in the Coconino aquifer, which consists of the Coconino Sandstone, the uppermost part of the underlying Supai Formation, and the overlying Kaibab Limestone. The amount of water withdrawn...
Water-level predictions for Indian Wells Valley ground-water basin, California, 1978
Michael J. Mallory
1979, Open-File Report 79-254
Ground-water pumpage in Indian Wells Valley, virtually a closed basin in the Mojave Desert of southern California, has increased gradually since 1945 and presently exceeds the long-term mean annual recharge (perennial supply). In order to aid in the understanding and management of the ground-water basin, a digital ground-water model was...
Techniques used for the cleaning, concentration, and observation of chrysomonad cysts from sediments
Albert D. Mahood, David P. Adam
1979, Open-File Report 79-1431
This report documents the techniques that we use to clean and concentrate chrysomonad cysts prior to examining them under a scanning electron microscope. Like diatoms, chrysomonad cysts are composed of opaline silica; the method we use is basically the same as one of the methods commonly used to prepare diatoms....
