1983, Open-File Report 83-672
Geological and geochemical followup studies of airborne electromagnetic anomalies in the Wadi Bidah district, southwestern Saudi Arabia, did not reveal metals of economic grade. Investigation of an anomaly enclosing the Rabathan ancient mine disclosed tightly folded and sheared Proterozoic tuffaceous rocks interlayered mostly with chert, dolomite, carbonaceous rocks, and volcanic...

1983, Trace Elements Investigations 35
This interim report is designed to show the present status of the Geological Survey's information and the parts of a comprehensive program necessary to improve our information about the raw material resources of uranium and thorium. Rarely in geologic work has it been necessary. to determine so completely a nation's...
The fallout rate of PB-210 on the western coast of the United States
Christopher Fuller, Douglas E. Hammond
1983, Geophysical Research Letters (10) 1164-1167
The deposition rate of atmospheric Pb-210 has been measured during a one year period using plastic funnels as collectors. Observed rates were 0.15 dpm cm−2 yr−1 at a site in Palo Alto, California and 0.21 dpm cm−2 yr−1 at a site in Los Angeles. The Palo Alto value agrees well with a long-term average...
Transport and distribution of bacteria and diatoms in the aqueous surface micro-layer of a salt marsh
Ronald W. Harvey, Leonard W. Lion, Lily Y. Young
1983, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (16) 543-547
The effects of tide and wind upon the distribution and transport of bacteria and diatoms in the aqueous surface microlayers of a Massachusetts and San Francisco Bay salt marsh were examined. The compression of the surface films by both tide and wind resulted in significant enrichments of bacterioneuston. At the...

Discovery of a Late Triassic basin north of Boston and some implications as to post-Paleozoic tectonics in northeastern Massachusetts (USA)
Clifford A. Kaye
1983, American Journal of Science (283) 1060-1079
As deduced from various data the Triassic-Jurassic Middleton basin-trends NE and is probably approx 5.7km in length and no >0.5km in width. Two sets of dikes which have been K/Ar dated as Late Triassic-Early Jurassic have the same NNE strikes as strike-slip faults. There are indications that a tectonic event...
Reworked Hantkenina speciments at Little Stave Creek, Alabama
Laurel M. Bybell, Richard Z. Poore
1983, Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies Transactions (33) 253-256
The Eocene-Oligocene boundary in Mississippi and Alabama has been traditionally placed between the Shubuta Member of the Yazoo Formation and the overlying Red Bluff Formation (or its carbonate facies equivalent, the Bumpnose Formation). Consequently, the presence of Eocene planktonic foraminifers in the Red Bluff and Bumpnose has long been attributed...
Uptake and transport of heavy metals by heated seawater: A summary of the experimental results
Robert J. Rosenbauer, James L. Bischoff
1983, Book chapter, Hydrothermal processes at seafloor spreading centers
In general, the chemistry of seawater experimentally reacted with basalt is in accord with the observed chemistry of the 350°C vent waters from 21°N on the East Pacific Rise. Experiments at 350°C, 500 bar, and a water/rock ratio of ≤10 reproduce most of the major components in the vent waters,...
An extensive data base for cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts from the world oceans
Frank T. Manheim, T.H. Ling, C.M. Lane
1983, Conference Paper, Proceedings of Oceans 1983
A new database for ferromanganese crusts from the world oceans is being compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey. Crusts differ from abyssal nodules by forming principally on steeper, raised areas or current-swept plateaus in the oceans. Some crusts contain relatively large concentrations of cobalt (1.0%) in areas within national territorial...

Fission-track ages of apatite in the Wasatch Mountains, Utah: An uplift study
C. W. Naeser, B. Bryant, M. D. Crittenden Jr., M. L. Sorensen
1983, Memoir of the Geological Society of America (157) 29-36
Apatite fission-track ages from basement rocks in the Wasatch Mountains between Ogden and Bountiful, Utah, range from 5 m.y. near the Wasatch fault along the west margin of the mountains to 94 m.y. on the crest of the range and show a correlation with altitude within individual fault blocks. Analysis...
Evidence for two pulses of glaciation during the late Proterozoic in northern Utah and southeastern Idaho
M. D. Crittenden Jr., N Christie-Blick, Paul K. Link
1983, Geological Society of America Bulletin (94) 437-450
A record of glaciation during late Proterozoic time is preserved in a number of localities extending from the Sheeprock Mountains, Utah, to Pocatello, Idaho, and from the Park City area 40 km east of Salt Lake City to the Deep Creek Range along the Utah-Nevada line. Over much of this...
New data on the age of Lepidocyclina in California
E. E. Brabb, Kristen McDougall, R.Z. Poore
1983, Journal of Foraminiferal Research (13) 167-178
During the 1930's and early 1940's, controversy about the age of Lepidocyclina californica and faunas associated with it led to unreconcilable differences of opinion in the attempt to provide a standard stratigraphic framework for Cenozoic rocks of western North America. Two standards with significantly different series age assignments were provided,...
