Coronadite — Modes of occurrence and origin
D. F. Hewett
1971, Economic Geology (66) 164-177
The lead manganate, "coronadite," was first recognized at the Coronado mine in the Morenci district, Arizona, by Lindgren in 1903. Several years later, the identity of the mineral was questioned and it was not until 1932 that Orcel recognized it in material from Morocco. Since...
Sulfur isotope study of the "B" limestone and Galena fissure ore deposits of the U.S. mine, Bingham mining district, Utah
Cyrus W. Field, William J. Moore
1971, Economic Geology (66) 48-62
The delta S 34 values for 261 sulfide concentrates from the "B" limestone replacement and Galena fissure deposits of the U. S. mine range from +3.8 to --8.0 permil; the mean is +0.56 permil. The data indicate that (1) sulfides of the "B" limestone ore deposits are...

Residual enrichment and supergene transport of gold, Calhoun mine, Lumpkin County, Georgia
Frank G. Lesure
1971, Economic Geology (66) 178-186
Gold is present in weathered wall rock and quartz veins of the opencut of the Calhoun mine, Lumpkin County, Georgia. Eleven samples of mica schist saprolite contain 0.02 to 0.1 parts per million (ppm) gold and three samples of weathered vein quartz, 0.04 to 0.6...
Application of an acoustic streamflow-measuring system on the Columbia River at The Dalles, Oregon
Winchell Smith
1971, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (7) 69-78
The need for accurate, independent records of flow on the Columbia River at The Dalles, Oregon, has been met by the installation of an acoustic streamflow-measuring system. This device provides an index of the velocity of flow by...
Surf-beat origin for pulsating bottom currents in the Rio Balsas submarine canyon, Mexico
Erk Reimnitz
1971, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (82) 81-89
A previously unreported process was observed at the head of a tributary to the Rio Balsas submarine canyon system in Mexico. During a period of large surf, river discharge deflected a pulsating longshore current [peaking at over 7 km/hr (2 m/sec)] seaward over the tributary...

Floods in the Wapsipinicon River Basin, Iowa
Harlan H. Schwob
1971, Report
Flood information is reported for 338 miles of the main stem and six tributaries of the Wapsipinicon River. The information will be of use to those concerned with the design of bridges and other structures and the conduct of various operations on the flood plains of the streams. Included in...
Sedimentation in the Middle Fork Eel River Basin, California
J. M. Knott
1971, Report
The Middle Fork Eel River basin has a drainage area of 753 square miles and is in a mountainous area on the western flank of the coast ranges in northern California. Elevations in the basin range from about 860 feet above mean sea level at the confluence with the Eel...
An evaluation of procedures used in computing chemical denudation rates
Richard J. Janda
1971, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (82) 67-79
Computations of chemical denudation rates (that is, the average rate of lowering of the earth's crust by chemical processes) should be based only upon those components of dissolved loads of streams that are derived from chemical weathering of rocks and soils, even though identification of those components is difficult and...

Thin skin distension in Tertiary rocks of southeastern Nevada
R. Ernest Anderson
1971, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (82) 43-58
Volcanic rocks of late Tertiary age, aggregating about 17,000 ft, accumulated on a surface of low relief cut on Precambrian rocks in the Basin and Range province south of Lake Mead, in Nevada and Arizona. They consist mostly of lava and flow breccia of intermediate composition with minor ash-flow tuff,...

The geochemist can contribute much information of value toward assessing the effect of environment, including inorganic pollution, on health....
Groundwater Recharge Conference Reading, England September 21-24, 1970
Richard T. Sniegocki
1971, Eos Science News (52) 26-26
An international Conference on Artificial Groundwater Recharge was held at the University of Reading, Whiteknights Park, Reading, Berkshire, England, sponsored by the Water Research Association, Medmenham, Marlow, Buckinghamshire. One hundred sixty-one delegates, representing 20 countries, registered. Five excellent tours...
Calorimetric investigation of Na-K mixing and polymorphism in the alkali feldspars
David Robert Waldbaum, Richard A. Robie
1971, Zeitschrift für Kristallographie — Crystalline Materials (134) 381-420
Heat of solution measurements of the enthalpies of Na-K mixing, Al-Si ordering, and fusion for crystalline solutions and end-member phases in the system Na(AlSi3O8)–K(AlSi3O8) were obtained with a vacuum-jacketed, isoperibolic calorimeter using 20.1 percent hydrofluoric acid at temperatures ranging from 40 to 60°C. Heat of solution data for artificially prepared...

Small lenses of detrital serpentinite, completely surrounded by massive serpentinite, occur within a sequence of Mesozoic phyllites and metasiltstones in the Cerros de Parashi area, Guajira Peninsula. These lenses, which are as...
Recharge characteristics of a watercourse aquifer system at Springfield, Ohio
Stanley E. Norris, Herbert B. Eagon Jr.
1971, Groundwater (9) 30-41
An investigation was made of infiltration conditions in the alluvial-filled Mad River valley in the vicinity of the Springfield municipal wells. The study shows that most recharge to the 100-foot thick sand and gravel aquifer is from induced infiltration from the Mad River. Local precipitation and natural, down-valley underflow also...

Chemical compositions of rock types as factors in our environment
Harry A. Tourtelot
Helen L. Cannon, Howard C. Hopps, editor(s)
1971, Book chapter, Environmental geochemistry in health and disease
The types of rocks that form geologic units in the Earth’s crust supply most of the raw materials from which soils are formed and from which water derives its inorganic constituents. The compositions of what we eat and drink thus depend in part upon the compositions of the source rocks.Igneous...
