History of fish toxicants in the United States
K.B. Cumming
1975, Special Publication 4
Many bodies of water have been overrun with fish species that are undesirable for the well-being of endemic aquatic biota and are of little or no interest to anglers. This situation has resulted from the transplanting of fish, creation of new waters, increasing fishing pressure and changing water quality. Although...

Thermomagnetic analysis of meteorites, 2. C2 chondrites
D.E. Watson, E.E. Larson, J.M. Herndon, M.W. Rowe
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (27) 101-107
Samples of all eighteen of the known C2 chondrites have been analyzed thermomagnetically. For eleven of these, initial Fe3O4 content is low (generally <1%) and theJs-T curves are irreversible. The heating curves show variable greater (up to 10 times) than it is initially. This...
Rare earths in the Leadville Limestone and its marble derivates
J.C. Jarvis, T.R. Wildeman, N.G. Banks
1975, Chemical Geology (16) 27-37
Samples of unaltered and metamorphosed Leadville Limestone (Mississippian, Colorado) were analyzed by neutron activation for ten rare-earth elements (REE). The total abundance of the REE in the least-altered limestone is 4–12 ppm, and their distribution patterns are believed to be dominated by...
Sandrewia, n. gen., a problematical plant from the Lower Permian of Texas and Kansas
S.H. Mamay
1975, Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology (20) 75-83
Sandrewia, n. gen., monotypified by S. texana, n. sp., is a plant from Lower Permian beds of north-central Texas and east-central Kansas. It is characterized by stout axes with spirally disposed, laxly inserted, petiolate leaves; the laminae are broadly flabelliform with coarse, open venation....
Calculated geochronology and stress field orientations along the Hawaiian chain
E.D. Jackson, H. R. Shaw, K.E. Bargar
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (26) 145-155
A new method has been discovered for calculating ages of the main shield building stages of volcanoes along the Hawaiian chain from Kilauea to the Hawaiian-Emperor bend. The method is based on a graphical technique for hypothetical subtraction of distance intervals that...
Location of the non-tidal current null zone in northern San Francisco Bay
David H. Peterson, T. J. Conomos, W. W. Broenkow, Patrick C. Doherty
1975, Estuarine and Coastal Marine Science (3) 1-11
Variations in Sacramento-San Joaquin River discharge into northern San Francisco Bay causes shifts in location of the bottom density current null zone. At a river flow of 2000 m3/s this null zone is approximately 20 km from the seaward end of the estuary,...
Interstitial solutions and diagenesis in deeply buried marine sediments: Results from the Deep Sea Drilling Project
F.L. Sayles, F.T. Manheim
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 103-127
Through the Deep Sea Drilling Project samples of interstitial solutions of deeply buried marine sediments throughout the World Ocean have been obtained and analyzed. The studies have shown that in all but the most slowly deposited sediments pore fluids exhibit changes in composition upon burial. These changes can be grouped...
Canister cryogenic system for cooling germanium semiconductor detectors in borehole and marine probes
G. R. Boynton
1975, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (123) 599-603
High resolution intrinsic and lithium-drifted germanium gamma-ray detectors operate at about 77–90 K. A cryostat for borehole and marine applications has been designed that makes use of prefrozen propane canisters. Uses of such canisters simplifies cryostat construction, and the rapid exchange of canisters...
Mercury distribution in ancient and modern sediment of northeastern Bering Sea
C.H. Nelson, D.E. Pierce, Kam Leong, F.F.H. Wang
1975, Marine Geology (18) 91-104
Reconnaissance sampling of surface and subsurface sediment to a maximum depth of 80 m below the sea floor shows that typical values of 0.03 p.p.m. and anomalies of 0.2-1.3 p.p.m. mercury have been present in northeastern Bering Sea since Early Pliocene time. Values are highest in modern beach (maximum 1.3...
Age of amphibolites associated with alpine peridotites in the Dinaride ophiolite zone, Yugoslavia
M. A. Lanphere, R. G. Coleman, S. Karamata, J. Pamic
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (26) 271-276
Amphibolites associated with alpine peridotites in the Central Ophiolite zone in Yugoslavia have K-Ar ages of 160–170 m.y. These amphibolites and associated peridotites underwent deep-seated metamorphism prior to tectonic emplacement into the sedimentary-volcanic assemblage of the Dinarides. The alpine peridotites and associated...
Uranium determination in natural water by the fissiontrack technique
G.M. Reimer
1975, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (4) 425-431
The fission track technique, utilizing the neutron-induced fission of uranium-235, provides a versatile analytical method for the routine analysis of uranium in liquid samples of natural water. A detector is immersed in the sample and both are irradiated. The fission track density observed...
Short chain aliphatic acid anions in oil field waters and their contribution to the measured alkalinity
L.M. Willey, Y.K. Kharaka, T. S. Presser, J. B. Rapp, I. Barnes
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 1707-1711
High alkalinity values found in some formation waters from Kettleman North Dome oil field are due chiefly to acetate and propionate ions, with some contribution from higher molecular weight organic acid ions. Some of these waters contain no detectable bicarbonate alkalinity. For waters...

1975, Icarus (26) 85-98
A new nomenclature for Martian regions and topographic features uncovered by Mariner 9, as officially adopted by the International Astronomical Union, is described. About 180 craters, generally of diameters >100 km, have been named, as well as 13 classes of topographic...
Vertical crustal movements preceding and accompanying the San Fernando earthquake of February 9, 1971: A summary
Robert O. Castle, Jack P. Church, Michael R. Elliot, Nancy L. Morrison
1975, Tectonophysics (29) 127-140
Comparative elevations referred chiefly to a tidal bench mark with a history of relatively positive movement show that much of the Transverse Ranges of southern California sustained major changes in elevation both before and in association with the ML 6.4 San Fernando earthquake of February 9, 1971. Preseismic changes in...
The determination of specific forms of aluminum in natural water
R.B. Barnes
1975, Chemical Geology (15) 177-191
A procedure for analysis and pretreatment of natural-water samples to determine very low concentrations of Al is described which distinguishes the rapidly reacting equilibrium species from the metastable or slowly reacting macro ions and colloidal suspended material. Aluminum is complexed with 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine), pH is adjusted to 8.3 to...
A high 87Sr 86Sr mantle source for low alkali tholeiite, northern Great Basin
R. K. Mark, Hu C. Lee, H. R. Bowman, F. Asaro, E.H. McKee, R.R. Coats
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 1671-1678
Olivine tholeiites, the youngest Tertiary units (about 8–11 m.y. old) at five widely spaced localities in northeastern Nevada, are geologically related to the basalts of the Snake River Plain, Idaho, to the north and are similar in major element and alkali chemistry to mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) and island arc...
Determining earthquake recurrence intervals from deformational structures in young lacustrine sediments
John D. Sims
1975, Tectonophysics (29) 141-152
Examination of the silty sediments in the lower Van Normal reservoir after the 1971 San Fernando, California earthquake revealed three zones of deformational structures in the 1-m-thick sequence of sediments exposed over about 2 km2 of the reservoir bottom. These zones are correlated with moderate earthquakes that shook the San Fernando...
Trace element evaluation of a suite of rocks from Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
R. A. Zielinski
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 713-734
Reunion Island consists of an olivine-basalt shield capped by a series of flows and intrusives ranging from hawaiite through trachyte. Eleven rocks representing the total compositional sequence have been analyzed for U, Th and REE. Eight of the rocks (group 1) have positive-slope, parallel, chondrite-normalized REE fractionation patterns. Using a...
