On the origin of lunar soil 12033
P.A. Beadecker, F. Cuttitta, H. J. Rose Jr., R. Schaudy, J. T. Wasson
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (10) 361-364
The lunar soil 12033 is compositionally distinctly different from both the local rocks at the Apollo 12 site and other lunar samples. It must be a recent deposit, else it would not have retained its identity. It contains a meteoritic component which...
A test of the 40Ar/39Ar age spectrum technique on some terrestrial materials
M. A. Lanphere, G. Brent Dalrymple
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (12) 359-372
40Ar/39Ar age spectra were determined for 10 terrestrial rock and mineral samples whose geologic history is known from independent evidence. The spectra for six mineral and whole rock samples, including biotite, feldspar, hornblende, muscovite, and granodiorite, that have experienced post-crystallization heating did...
Imaging of Mercury and Venus from a flyby
B. C. Murray, M. J. S. Belton, G. Edward Danielson, M. E. Davies, G. P. Kuiper, B. T. O’Leary, V.E. Suomi, N.J. Trask
1971, Icarus (15) 153-173
This paper describes the results of study of an imaging experiment planned for the 1973 Mariner Venus/Mercury flyby mission. Scientific objectives, mission constraints, analysis of alternative systems, and the rationale for final choice are presented. Severe financial constraints ruled out the best technical alternative for flyby imaging, a film/readout system,...
Kaersutite - A product of reaction between pargasite and basanite at Dish Hill, California
H. G. Wilshire, L. C. Calk, E.C. Schwarzman
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (10) 281-284
Paragasitic amphibole, occurring interstitially and as veins in peridotite inclusions in basanite, has reacted with the host basanite to form kaersutitic amphibole. The amphibole compositions vary with respect to distance from the edge of the xenolith; iron, titanium, and potassium contents are...
Genetic implications of the shapes of martian and lunar craters
R.J. Pike
1971, Icarus (15) 384-395
Craters on Mars and the Moon are alike in that larger craters differ in shape from smaller ones, and older craters differ in shape from younger ones. Smoothed depth-diameter curves for 41 large martian craters photographed by Mariner IV inflect at a crater...
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: age and duration of the olduvai normal polarity event
C. S. Grommé, R. L. Hay
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (10) 179-185
New data show that the Olduvai normal geomagnetic polarity event is represented in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, by rocks covering a time span of roughly from 0.1 to 0.2 my and is no older than 2.0 my. Hence the long normal polarity event...
Geological provinces of the near side of the moon
J.F. McCauley, D.E. Wilhelms
1971, Icarus (15) 363-367
Systematic geologic mapping of the near side of the Moon has provided the basis for defining and delineating the major geological provinces of the near side. From the nature of the provinces and their distribution patterns a general historical sequence evolves. Five main...
Limited-interval definitions of the photometric functions of lunar crater walls by photography from orbiting Apollo
R.L. Wildey
1971, Icarus (15) 93-99
By the use of only relative photometry (intraframe) it is shown that the photometric functions of material reposed on the inner walls of some of the ypunger lunar craters photographed on the far side of the Moon from the Apollo 11 Command Module...

Sea lampreys in the Great Lakes of North America
Bernard R. Smith
M.W. Hardisty, I.C. Potter, editor(s)
1971, Book chapter, The biology of lampreys
The movement of sea lampreys into the upper Great Lakes (Superior, Michigan, and Huron) initiated a series of biological changes which have extended beyond the fish directly attacked by the parasite. The threat posed by the sea lamprey was not generally recognized until it was well established in all...
Albinism in lampreys in the upper Great Lakes
Robert A. Braem, Everett L. King
1971, Copeia (1971) 176-179
Albinism in fishes is relatively rare except in some stocks of hatchery-reared salmonids. In the Petromyzonidae, only four albino lampreys have been reported....
Effects of temperature on electrolyte balance and osmoregulation of the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) in fresh and sea water
Jon G. Stanley, Peter J. Colby
1971, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (100) 624-638
A study of the effects of temperature and salinity on ionoregulation in the alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus, revealed that concentrations of sodium, potassium, and calcium in plasma and muscle were similar in fish adapted to fresh water and those adapted to sea water. The non-stressed alewife is apparently an excellent...
Some blood chemistry values for the juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Gary Wedemeyer, K. Chatterton
1971, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada 606-608
Overlapping Gaussian distribution curves were resolved into normal ranges for 1800 clinical test values obtained from caudal arterial blood or plasma of more than 1000 juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) held under defined conditions of diet and temperature. Estimated normal blood chemistry ranges were bicarbonate, 9.5–12.6 mEq/liter; blood urea nitrogen (BUN),...
A general evaluation of the frequency distribution of clay and associated minerals in the alluvial soils of Ceylon
J.W. Herath, R.W. Grimshaw
1971, Geoderma (5) 119-130
Clay mineral analyses were made of several alluvial clay materials from Ceylon. These studies show that the soil materials can be divided into 3 clay mineral provinces on the basis of the frequency distribution of...

The white-crowned pigeon: A fruit-eating pigeon as a host for Trichomonas gallinae
R. M. Kocan, A. Sprunt IV
1971, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (7) 217-218
Trichomoniasis resulting from infection by Trichomonas gallinae was observed in 12 laboratory reared white-crowned pigeons (Columba leucocephala). A field survey of nestlings in the Florida Keys revealed a prevalence of 88% T. gallinae carriers but no evidence of trichomoniasis could be found among the wild birds....
Tertiary climatic fluctuations and methods of analysis of tertiary floras
J. A. Wolfe
1971, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (9) 27-57
On theoretical grounds, an analysis of the physiognomy of a Tertiary leaf assemblage is more direct and reliable than a circuitous floristic analysis in assigning thermal regimes to fossil assemblages. Using primarily foliar physiognomy and secondarily floristic composition, it can be shown that: (1) some middle latitude Tertiary assemblages probably...
