Interstitial water studies on small core samples, Leg 22
Frank T. Manheim, Lee S. Waterman, Frederick L. Sayles
1974, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (22) 657-662
Interstitial waters from Leg 22 in the Indian Ocean revealed two unique results: Site 214, on the Ninetyeast Ridge, penetrated through a 30-meter sequence of fine-grained basalt and reentered hard, silty clay containing carbonate skeletal debris. Such a basalt layer may well have been impervious and extensive enough to seal...
Geologic interpretation of gravity profiles in the western Marquette district, northern Michigan
John S. Klasner, W.F. Cannon
1974, GSA Bulletin (85) 213-218
The presence of elongate troughs of Precambrian X (middle Precambrian) rocks in Precambrian W (lower Precambrian) rocks in the western Marquette district of northern Michigan has been known since the late 1800s. However, little data can be brought to bear on estimates of...
Interpretation of aeromagnetic anomalies bearing on the origin of upper Chesapeake Bay and river course changes in the Central Atlantic Seaboard Region: Speculations
Michael W. Higgins, Isidore Zietz, George Wescott Fisher
1974, Geology (2) 73-76
On an aeromagnetic map of the Chesapeake Bay area, the northeastern part of the bay coincides well with a deep, “flat” magnetic low, and the upper part of the Delmarva Peninsula east of the bay coincides with detailed magnetic highs; the two areas are separated by a steep, straight gradient...
Garnet-clinopyroxenite from the Red Mountain pluton, Alaska
R. B. Forbes, R. C. Swainbank
1974, GSA Bulletin (85) 285-292
Several lens-shaped and irregular masses of garnet-clinopyroxenite occur along the north margin of the Red Mountain pluton, near Seldovia, Alaska. The pluton is composed of intercalated dunite, clinopyroxenite, and banded chromite layers. The chromite layers appear to dip toward the center of the mass, but they have been deformed, and...
Buried Triassic basin in the central Savannah River area, South Carolina and Georgia
L. Wendell Marine, George E. Siple
1974, GSA Bulletin (85) 311-320
A basin filled with Triassic red beds, located on the South Carolina–Georgia line ∼32 km southeast of Augusta, Georgia, is buried beneath ∼350 m of Coastal Plain sediments. An extensive aeromagnetic survey, seismic refraction and reflection surveys, and geophysical logs and samples from three wells define the extent and character...
Configuration of Precambrian rocks in southeastern New York and adjacent New England from aeromagnetic data
David S. Harwood, Isidore Zietz
1974, GSA Bulletin (85) 181-188
Two aeromagnetic anomalies of regional extent outline two previously unknown buried masses of highly magnetic, probably Precambrian, rocks in southeastern New York and adjacent Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The northern mass extends northeastward from Albany, New York, to Bennington, Vermont, where it appears to be buried beneath weakly magnetic Precambrian...

Preliminary geologic map and coal resources of the Henrieville quadrangle, Garfield and Kane Counties, Utah
W.E. Bowers
1974, Report
The Henrieville quadrangle lies in Garfield and Kane Counties in southern Utah and was mapped in 1968 and 1969 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's program of classifying and evaluating Federal lands withdrawn for coal. Mapping was done on U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps at a scale of 1:24,000...

Deposition of zinc and cadmium by marine bacteria in estuarine sediments
C.J. McLerran, Charles W. Holmes
1974, Limnology and Oceanography (19) 998-1001
Mixed cultures of marine bacteria isolated from the sediments of Corpus Christi Harbor were examined for their ability to assimilate or precipitate radioactive zinc and cadmium from solution. Test data indicate that during summer, when bacterial activity is at a maximum, the bacteria and their metabolic byproducts play a significant...
Lakes of Oregon, Volume 2: Benton, Lincoln, and Polk Counties
M.V. Shulters
1974, Report
An inventory of lakes and reservoirs of Oregon is essential for a complete evaluation of the total surface-water supply of the State and to provide a basis for answering questions about Oregon's lakes. Much of the information on lakes and reservoirs previously collected by Federal and State agencies has never...

Drainage area and river mileage of Nebraska streams part I
Gordon G. Jamison
1974, Open-File Report 7404
The value of stream discharge data for hydrologic studies is enhanced by the availability of accurate information on size of area drained, distance between selected sites along stream course, and hydraulic gradients. Information on the location of cultural and natural features that affect streamflow also is valuable for hydrologic studies,...

1974, Hydrologic Unit 22
This map and accompanying table show Hydrologic Units that are basically hydrographic in nature. The Cataloging Units shown will supplant the Cataloging Units previously used by the U.S. Geological Survey in its Catalog of Information on Water Data (1966-72). The previous U.S. Geological Survey Catalog-Indexing System was by map number...

Floods of January 1974 in Washington
R.J. Longfield
1974, Report
Record floods occurred in parts of Washington during January 14-21, 1974. The floods resulted from runoff from warm, moderately heavy rain that continued most of the week, augmented by runoff from the rapid melting of a near-record snowpack that extended to low elevations. New record peak flows occurred at many...
