Comparison of the Wilfley concentration table and hand panning for concentration of heavy minerals prior to geochemical analysis
William R. Greenwood, M.E. Koesterer, Steve Ludington, Donald A. Risoli
1978, Open-File Report 78-712
Chemical analysis of heavy—mineral concentrates of stream sediments is a common geochemical exploration technique used by the U.S. Geological Survey. Generally these concentrates are prepared by hand panning at streamside or in a washtub and then further concentrated using heavy—liquid (bromoform) techniques in a laboratory. Concentration using heavy liquids is...

Ground-water records for eastern Oklahoma, Part 2; water-quality records for wells, test-holes, and springs
1978, Open-File Report 78-357
The U. S. Geological Survey has collected data on Oklahoma's ground-water resources since 1934. Most of these data were collected as part of specific ground-water studies conducted in cooperation with various Federal, State, and local agencies. Data on construction, yield, water levels, and other physical well parameters are given in...

Raw materials for structural clay products in the Abha-Khamis Mushayt area, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Lawrence Frederick Rooney, Ziad Al-Koulak
1978, Open-File Report 78-774
Abha and Khamis Mushayt, rapidly growing twin cities in southwestern Saudi Arabia, would benefit greatly by having an indigenous source of structural clay products. Conventional sources of high-quality raw materials, i.e., clay and shale, are lacking in the dominantly igneous and metamorphic terrain. Although not of high quality, colluvium and...
