Radial particle-size segregation during packing of particulates into cylindrical containers
C.D. Ripple, R.V. James, J. Rubin
1973, Powder Technology (8) 165-175
In a series of experiments, soil materials were placed in long cylindrical containers, using various packing procedures. Soil columns produced by deposition and simultaneous vibratory compaction were dense and axially uniform, but showed significant radial segregation of particle sizes. Similar results were obtained with deposition and simultaneous impact-type compaction when...
18O 16O ratios in cherts associated with the saline lake deposits of East Africa
J. R. O’Neil, R. L. Hay
1973, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (19) 257-266
The cherts formed from sodium silicate precursors in East African saline, alkaline lakes have δ18O values ranging from 31.1 to 44.1. The δ18O values correlate in general with lake salinities as inferred from geologic evidence, indicating that most chert was formed...
Isotopic composition of oil-field brines from Kettleman North Dome, California, and their geologic implications
Y.K. Kharaka, F.A.F. Berry, I. Friedman
1973, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (37) 1899-1908
Deuterium and O18 analyses were made on 25 formation-water samples from Miocene (Temblor Formation) and Eocene (McAdams Formation) reservoir rocks at Kettleman North Dome oil field, California, and on three surface water samples from Reef Ridge located about three miles to the west of the field. The δO18 values obtained generally increase with...
Lead concentration and isotopic composition in five peridotite inclusions of probable mantle origin
R. E. Zartman, F. Tera
1973, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (20) 54-66
The lead content of five whole-rock peridotite inclusions (four lherzolites and one harzburgite) in alkali basalt ranges from 82 to 570 ppb (parts per billion). Approximately 30–60 ppb of this amount can be accounted for by analyzed major silicate minerals (olivine ≤...
Tertiary plate tectonics and high-pressure metamorphism in New Caledonia
R.N. Brothers, M.C. Blake Jr.
1973, Tectonophysics (17) 337-358
The sialic basement of New Caledonia is a Permian-Jurassic greywacke sequence which was folded and metamorphosed to prehnite-pumpellyite or low-grade greenschist facies by the Late Jurassic. Succeeding Cretaceous-Eocene sediments unconformably overlie this basement and extend outwards onto oceanic crust. Tertiary tectonism occurred in three distinct phases.1. During the...

Petrography and stratigraphy of glacial drift, Mesabi-Vermilion Iron Range area, northeastern Minnesota
Thomas C. Winter, R. D. Cotter, H. L. Young
1973, Bulletin 1331-C
Glacial deposits in the Mesabi-Vermilion Iron Range area consist of four major till units and associated glaciofluvial sediments. Particle-size data and pebble, heavy-mineral, clay-mineral, and percentage-soluble content were used in addition to field description of color and texture to describe and correlate the drift units. The lowermost till unit, basal till,...
History of salmon in the Great Lakes, 1850-1970
John W. Parsons
1973, Technical Paper 68
This history of the salmon in the Great Lakes describes the decline and extinction of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Lake Ontario in the 1800's; the failure to establish, by salmon culture, permanent or sizable populations of Atlantic or Pacific salmon in any of the Great Lakes in 1867-1965;...

Federal Great Lakes fishery research objectives, priorities, and projects
Howard D. Tait
1973, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the First Federal Conference on the Great Lakes
Fishery productivity of the Great Lakes has declined drastically since settlement of the area. Premium quality fishes of the Great Lakes such as whitefish, lake trout, and walleyes have been replaced by less desired species. This change is attributed to selective overfishing, pollution, and the extreme instability of fish populations....

The role of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife in the Great Lakes
F. Eugene Hester
1973, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the First Federal Conference on the Great Lakes
Ecological blunders of man, such as timber exploitation, draining of wetlands, construction of canals and dams, and pollution have been mainly responsible for serious environmental degradation and catastrophic losses of fish and wildlife values in the Great Lakes Basin. Consequently, the major emphasis of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and...
