Clastic dikes of Heart Mountain fault breccia, northwestern Wyoming, and their significance
W. G. Pierce
1979, Professional Paper 1133
Structural features in northwestern Wyoming indicate that the Heart Mountain fault movement was an extremely rapid, cataclysmic event that created a large volume of carbonate fault breccia derived entirely from the lower part of the upper plate. After fault movement had ceased, much of the carbonate fault breccia, here called...
Formation and resulfidization of a South Texas roll-type uranium deposit
Martin B. Goldhaber, Richard L. Reynolds, Robert O. Rye
1979, Open-File Report 79-1651
Core samples from a roll type uranium deposit in Live Oak County, south Texas have been studied and results are reported for Se, Mo, FeS2 and organic-carbon distribution, sulfide mineral petrology, and sulfur isotopic composition of iron-disulfide phases. In addition, sulfur isotopic compositions of dissolved sulfate and sulfide from the...

Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Marquette County, Michigan
N.G. Grannemann
1979, Open-File Report 79-1339
Dependable water supplies are vital to the mining industry in the Marquette Iron Range in Michigan. Development of processes that concentrate and pelletize low-grade iron ore has permitted mining to expand during the past two decades. Water demand has increased both for iron ore concentration processes and for the area...
Late Cenozoic deposits, landforms, stratigraphy, and tectonism in Kittitas Valley, Washington
Richard B. Waitt
1979, Professional Paper 1127
Kittitas Valley, a structurally determined wide segment of the Yakima River valley, is partly filled with the Pliocene Thorp Gravel and with Pleistocene till, outwash, and related sediment that accumulated during three glaciations. The Thorp Gravel, whose age according to fission-track dating is about 3.7 m.y., forms a conspicuous fill...
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Lake Superior Basin, Wisconsin
W.A. Gebert
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-38
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Lake Superior basin include estimates of low-flow frequency and flow duration at 9 gaging stations, low-flow frequency at 16 low-flow partial-record stations and 38 miscellaneous sites; and a list of base-flow discharge measurement is available. The equations were determined from multiple-regression analyses that relate...
Telluric profile and location map for the Broadwater Hot Springs area, Montana
Karen R. Christopherson, R. Michael Senterfit, Vernon Lewis, Moutaz Dalati
1979, Open-File Report 79-1670
A telluric profile (E-field ratio telluric method) was made in the vicinity of the Broadwater Hot Springs, Montana to help assess the geothermal potential of the area. The method and equipment used is similar to that described by Beyer (1977). For this survey the recording bandwidth was 0.025 Hz centered...

Modeling highly transient flow, mass, and heat transport in the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia
Harvey E. Jobson, Thomas N. Keefer
1979, Professional Paper 1136
A coupled flow-temperature model has been developed and verified for a 27.9-km reach of the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Norcross, Ga. Flow in this reach of the Chattahoochee is continuous but highly regulated by Buford Dam, a flood-control and hydroelectric facility located near Buford, Ga. Calibration and verification...

Water resources data for Alabama, water year 1978
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1979, Water Data Report AL-78-1
Water resources data for the 1978 water year for Alabama consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. This report contains records for water discharge at 95 gaging stations; stage only...
Seepage study of the West Side and West canals, Box Elder County, Utah
R.W. Cruff
1979, Open-File Report 79-1489
A study of the gains or losses of the West Side and West Canals from Cutler Reservoir to near Penrose, Box Elder County, Utah, was made to aid in water allocation for the canal system. Four sets of seepage measurements made in 1978 were used in the analysis. Adjustments for...

Geologic map of the Margaritifer Sinus Quadrangle of Mars
R.S. Saunders
1979, IMAP 1144
The Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle lies within a broad north-sloping trough, the Chryse lowlands, between the elevated Tharsis plateau to the west and the cratered upland to the east. The rugged, uniquely martian chaotic terrain is best developed in this quadrangle. Sinuous furrows a few kilometers wide and as...
