Depositional environments and paleocurrent directions in the Precambrian Moeda Formation, Minas Gerais, Brazil
David A. Lindsey
1975, Open-File Report 75-264
The middle Precambrian Moeda Formation of Minas Gerais, Brazil, contains uranium and other minerals believed to be of detrital origin. Two areas of anomalously high concentrations of uranium have been discovered in conglomeratic zones that are interpreted as paleochannels. Because the distribution of uranium is believed to be controlled at...

Notes on some experiments on the application of subtractive compensation to USGS seismic magnetic tape recording and playback systems
Jerry P. Eaton
1975, Open-File Report 75-663
The purpose of these experiments is to lay the groundwork for the implementation of subtractive compensation of the USGS seismic network tape playbacks utilizing the Develco model 6203 discriminators at a x1 playback speed. Although the Develco discriminators were designed for this application and a matching Develco compensation discriminator was...

Geology, physical properties, and surface effects at Discus Thrower Site, Yucca Flat, Nevada test site
Wilfred James Carr, C.H. Miller, Harry W. Dodge
1975, Open-File Report 75-410
Geologic studies in connection with Project Discus Thrower have furnished detailed stratigraphic and structural information about northwestern Yucca Flat. The Paleozoic rocks consist of a lower carbonate sequence, argillite of the Eleana Formation, and an upper carbonate sequence. The distribution of these rocks suggests that both top and bottom of...

Heavy mineral prospecting in Pakistan
Karl W. Stauffer, James Alfred Calkins
1975, Open-File Report 75-359
Heavy-mineral prospecting is a method of tracing potential ore minerals to their source by systematically examining the heavy minerals of stream sands. The heavy minerals are partially concentrated in the field by panning. In the laboratory the heavy minerals are further concentrated by floating off the quartz and feldspar in...
