Alternate data sources for soil surveys on rangeland
Emil H. Horvath, A. A. Klingebiel, D. G. Moore, E. A. Fosnight
1983, Open-File Report 83-880
Soil information is an essential theme in a digital information base for land management and resource monitoring, but public land management agencies seldom have detailed soil maps available for all of the area under their administration. Most of these agencies conduct soil surveys on a scheduled basis, but escalating costs...

Ichnofossils of the alluvial Willwood Formation (lower Eocene), Bighorn Basin, northwest Wyoming, U.S.A
T. M. Bown, M. J. Kraus
1983, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (43) 95-128
The ichnofossil assemblage of the lower Eocene Willwood Formation consists of at least nine distinct endichnia that are preserved in full relief. Four forms (three ichnogenera and four ichnospecies) are new and represent fodinichnia and domichnia of oligochaete worms, an insect or spider, an unknown vertebrate (probably a mammal), and...
Late cretaceous-cenozoic magnetostratigraphic and biostratigraphic correlations of the South Atlantic Ocean: DSDP Leg 73
R.Z. Poore, L. Tauxe, S.F. Percival Jr., John L. LaBrecque, R. Wright, N.P. Petersen, Charles C. Smith, P. Tucker, K.J. Hsu
1983, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (42) 127-149
DSDP Leg 73 sediment cores allow direct calibrations of magnetostratigraphy and biostratigraphy for much of the lates Cretaceous to Cenozoic in the mid-latitude South Atlantic Ocean. A complete record of the Cenozoic was not obtained, however, because strong dissolution, poor core recovery and intense core disturbance have masked the biostratigraphy...
Paleoclimatic analyses of middle Eocene through Oligocene planktic foraminiferal faunas
G. Keller
1983, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (43) 73-94
Quantitative faunal analyses and oxygen isotope ranking of individual planktic foraminiferal species from deep sea sequences of three oceans are used to make paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic inferences. Species grouped into surface, intermediate and deep water categories based on δ18O values provide evidence of major changes in water-mass stratification, and individual...
Heavy-mineral distribution in modern and ancient bay deposits, Willapa Bay, Washington, U.S.A.
Gretchen Luepke, H. Edward Clifton
1983, Sedimentary Geology (35) 233-247
Analysis of heavy-mineral distribution in modern sediments of Willapa Bay, Washington, indicates a dominance of two mineralogic assemblages, one with approximately equivalent amounts of hornblende, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, the other dominated by clinopyroxene. The hornblende-orthopyroxene-clinopyroxene suite is derived from the Columbia River, which discharges into the ocean a short distance...
40Ar 39Ar ages and tectonic setting of ophiolite from the Neyriz area, southeast Zagros Range, Iran
Marvin A. Lanphere, Jakob J. Pamic
1983, Tectonophysics (96) 245-256
An ophiolite, considered to be an allochthonous fragment of Tethyan oceanic crust and mantle, crops out near Neyriz in the Zagros Range, Iran. 40Ar39 Ar ages ranging from 76.8 ± 23.8 Ma to 105 ± 23.3 Ma were measured on hornblende from five samples of plagiogranite...
Surface deformation in volcanic rift zones
David D. Pollard, Paul T. Delaney, Wendell A. Duffield, Elliot T. Endo, Arnold T. Okamura
1983, Tectonophysics (94) 541-584
The principal conduits for magma transport within rift zones of basaltic volcanoes are steeply dipping dikes, some of which feed fissure eruptions. Elastic displacements accompanying a single dike emplacement elevate the flanks of the rift relative to a central depression. Concomitant normal faulting may transform the depression into a graben...
Accumulation of fossil fuels and metallic minerals in active and ancient rift lakes
Eleanora I. Robbins
1983, Tectonophysics (94) 633-658
A study of active and ancient rift systems around the world suggests that accumulations of fossil fuels and metallic minerals are related to the interactions of processes that form rift valleys with those that take place in and around rift lakes. The deposition of the precursors of petroleum, gas, oil...
