I.L. Tailleur, B. L. Mamet, J.T. Dutro Jr.
1973, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (57) 1348-1352
New collections of foraminifers and macrofossils from Nuka Ridge, the type area of the enigmatic Nuka Formation, demonstrate that the type Nuka Formation is not a continuous stratigraphic sequence as originally described. Paleontologic evidence indicates the presence of a structurally repeated sequence at Nuka Ridge consisting of Upper Mississippian (Meramec...

1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
The surface electrical properties (SEP) experiment was used to explore the subsurface material of the Apollo 17 landing site by means of electromagnetic radiation. The experiment was designed to detect electrical layering, discrete scattering bodies, and the possible presence of water. From the analysis of the data, it was expected...
Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part A: remote sensing of Mare Serenitatis
T.W. Thompson, K. A. Howard, R.W. Shorthill, G.L. Tyler, S.H. Zisk, E. A. Whitaker, G. G. Schaber, H. J. Moore
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Mare Serenitatis is a circular mare approximately 600 km in diameter in the northeast quadrant of the lunar near side. It occupies an old multi-ringed basin (refs. 33-1 and 33-2) and is the site of a prominent mascon (ref. 33-3). A conspicuous dark annulus in this mare prompted subdivision...
Stratigraphic studies: Part D: geologic map of the northern Crisium region
Don E. Wilhelms
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Apollo 17 metric photographs (fig. 29-26) provide the best available coverage for geologic interpretation of northern Mare Crisium and the northern Crisium basin. The area was covered previously by low-resolution telescopic and Lunar Orbiter IV photographs and by oblique, high-illumination, or low-resolution photographs from earlier Apollo missions. One region in...
Stratigraphic studies: Part C: relative ages of some near-side mare units based on Apollo 17 metric photographs
Joseph M. Boyce, Arthur L. Dial Jr.
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
The lunar maria formed at different times and in multiple stages of extrusion. An understanding of their evolution is essential in placing the Apollo samples in a regional context and in interpreting the regional geology of a vast part of the lunar surface....
Stratigraphic studies: Part A: basalt stratigraphy of southern Mare Serenitatis
K. A. Howard, M. H. Carr, W.R. Muehlberger
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Mare Serenitatis has long been noted for its conspicuous dark border (fig. 29-1). The Apollo 17 metric photographs traverse this border in southern Mare Serenitatis and show clearly superposition relationships among the mare and mare-related stratigraphic units. These photographs, together with full-Moon photographs, albedo measurements, and color information (table...
Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part C: comparison between photogrammetric and bistatic-radar slope-frequency distributions
H. J. Moore, G.L. Tyler
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Stereoscopic photographs taken by the metric and panoramic cameras can be used to obtain information on the roughness and slope-frequency distributions of lunar surfaces (see appendix to this part). Bistatic radar on board Apollo 14, 15, and 16 spacecraft may also be used to obtain information on lunar surface roughness...
Preliminary geologic investigation of the Apollo 17 landing site

1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report
The Apollo 17 lunar module (LM) landed on the flat floor of a deep valley that embays the mountainous highlands at the eastern rim of the Serenitatis basin. Serenitatis, the site of a pronounced mascon, is one of the major multi-ringed basins on the near side of the Moon. The...
Volcanic studies: Part E: Eratosthenian volcanism in Mare Imbrium: source of youngest lava flows
Gerald G. Schaber
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report
Orbital photographs taken at low-Sun illumination during both the Apollo 15 (ref. 30-14) and Apollo 17 missions have provided excellent data on the lava flows in the southwestern Mare Imbrium. These photographs have been used recently to present a detailed photogeologic evaluation of these flows and their role in mare...
Mare ridges and related studies: Part D: small structures of the Taurus-Littrow region
David H. Scott
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Apollo 17 permission geologic studies of the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon revealed numerous small structures, in both mare and terra, having somewhat similar morphologies and variously resembling fault scarps, flow fronts, and mare ridges. Many of these features are too small to be identified on Lunar Orbiter IV photographs,...
Crater studies: Part A: lunar crater morphometry
Richard J. Pike
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Morphometry, the quantitative study of shape, complements the visual observation and photointerpretation in analyzing the most outstanding landforms of the Moon, its craters (refs. 32-1 and 32-2). All three of these interpretative tools, which were developed throughout the long history of telescopic lunar study preceding the Apollo Program, will continue...
Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part D: repeatability of elevation measurements--Apollo photography
Sherman S.C. Wu, Francis J. Schafer, Gary M. Nakata, Raymond Jordan
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Stereoscopic photographs of the Moon taken by the metric and panoramic cameras on board the service module of Apollo spacecraft provide a source for quantitative data on lunar topography. The accuracy of the topographic data depends, in part, on the repeatability of elevation measurements. The repeatability depends on contrast in...

Versatile combustion-amalgamation technique for the photometric determination of mercury in fish and environmental samples
Wayne A. Willford, Robert J. Hesselberg, Harold L. Bergman
1973, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (56) 1008-1014
Total mercury in a variety of substances is determined rapidly and precisely by direct sample combustion, collection of released mercury by amalgamation, and photometric measurement of mercury volatilized from the heated amalgam. Up to 0.2 g fish tissue is heated in a stream of O2 (1.2 L/min) for 3.5 min in...
