Biology of larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) of the 1960 year class, isolated in the Big Garlic River, Michigan, 1960-65
Patrick J. Manion, Alberton L. McLain
1971, Technical Report 16
The early life history of the sea lamprey, from hatching to the first capture of metamorphosed individuals, is described from observations on a known-age population isolated in a tributary of southern Lake Superior. The population had its origin in the spring of 1960, when 722 sea lampreys nearing spawning condition...
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....
Aeromagnetic study of the midcontinent gravity high of central United States
Elizabeth R. King, Isidore Zietz
1971, Geological Society of America Bulletin (82) 2187-2208
A composite map of detailed aeromagnetic surveys over the midcontinent gravity high provides coverage of the 600-mi-long buried belt of mafic rocks of the Keweenawan Series from their outcrop localities in Minnesota and Wisconsin through Iowa and Nebraska. A map of the subsurface extent of the mafic rocks, based on...
Hydrology of Pine Creek, Wisconsin
Warren A. Gebert
1971, Report
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Pine Creek, Price County, Wisconsin, in order to evaluate a proposed reservoir on Pine Creek. The streamflow characteristics estimated are the mean flows, low flows, and flood peaks. The study was done by the U.S. Geological Survey in...
Calcium-magnesium carbonate solid solutions from Holocene conglomerate cements and travertines in the Coast Range of California
I. Barnes, J. R. O’Neil
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 699-718
Two calcium-magnesium carbonate solid solutions form Holocene travertines and conglomerate cements in fresh water stream channels of the Coast Range of California. Calcite does not yield the {015} diffraction maximum. The {006} diffraction maximum is lacking over most of the range of composition...
Thermoluminescence of Apollo 12 lunar samples
Richard R. Doell, G. Brent Dalrymple
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (10) 357-360
Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve and decay characteristics of Apollo 12 fines and soil samples are similar to those from Apollo 11. Interpretation of the results from the core sample is difficult because of inadequate sample, spacing, but it appears that the part...
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...
Analytical sensitivities and energies of thermal neutron capture gamma rays II
F. E. Senftle, H.D. Moore, D.B. Leep, A. El-Kady, D. Duffey
1971, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (93) 425-459
A table of the analytical sensitivities of the principal lines in the thermal neutron capture gamma-ray spectrum from 0 to 3 MeV has been compiled for most of the elements. A tabulation of the full-energy, single-escape, and double-escape peaks has also been made...
Paleomagnetism of San Cristobal Island, Galapagos
A. Cox
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (11) 152-160
Isla San Cristobal, the most easterly of the Galapagos Islands, consists of two parts: a large volcano constitutes the southwest half of the island and an irregular apron of small cones and flows makes up the northeast half. As some of the...
A Pliocene flora and insect fauna from the Bering Strait region
D.M. Hopkins, J.V. Matthews, J. A. Wolfe, M.L. Silberman
1971, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (9) 211-231
A flood-plain forest has been preserved beneath a lava flow that invaded the Inmachuk River Valley in the northern part of the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, during the Pliocene Epoch. The fossil flora is of great biogeographic interest because of its position (Fig. 1)...
Spectral reflectance and photometric properties of selected rocks
Robert D. Watson
1971, Remote Sensing of Environment (2) 95-100
Studies of the spectral reflectance and photometric properties of selected rocks at the USGS Mill Creek, Oklahoma, remote sensing test site demonstrate that discrimination of rock types is possible through reflection measurements, but that the discrimination is complicated by surface conditions, such as weathering and lichen growth. Comparisons between fresh-broken,...
Variation of iridium in a differentiated tholeiitic dolerite
L. P. Greenland
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 319-322
Iridium has been determined in a drill core from the Great Lake (Tasmania) dolerite sheet. Iridium decreases systematically from the mafic dolerites (0.25 ppb) to the granophyres (0.006 ppb). The trend with differentiation closely parallels that of chromium....
40Ar/39Ar technique of KAr dating: A comparison with the conventional technique
G. Brent Dalrymple, M. A. Lanphere
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (12) 300-308
K-Ar ages have been determined by the40Ar/39Ar total fusion technique on 19 terrestrial samples whose conventional K-Ar ages range from 3.4 my to nearly 1700 my. Sample materials included biotite, muscovite, sanidine, adularia, plagioclase, hornblende, actinolite, alunite, dacite, and basalt. For 18...
Scanning electron microscopy of clays and clay minerals
B.F. Bohor, R.E. Hughes
1971, Clays and Clay Minerals (19) 49-54
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) proves to be ideally suited for studying the configuration, texture, and fabric of clay samples. Growth mechanics of crystalline units—interpenetration and interlocking of crystallites, crystal habits, twinning, helical growth, and topotaxis—also are uniquely revealed by the SEM.Authigenic kaolins make up the bulk of the examples...
Determination of silver in soils, sediments, and rocks by organic-chelate extraction and atomic absorption spectrophotometry
T. T. Chao, J.W. Ball, H. M. Nakagawa
1971, Analytica Chimica Acta (54) 77-81
A useful method for the determination of silver in soil, sediment, and rock samples in geochemical exploration has been developed. The sample is digested with concentrated nitric acid, and the silver extracted with triisooctyl thiophosphate (TOTP) in methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) after dilution of the...
C13 and O18 compositions in some fresh-water carbonates associated with ultramafic rocks and serpentinites: Western United States
J. R. O’Neil, I. Barnes
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 687-697
All carbonates associated with the ultramafic rocks and serpentinites of the western United States are shown by their stable isotope ratios to be of near-surface, low-temperature origin. These include vein materials that have been previously classified as hydrothermal. New laboratory and natural data...
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...
Alewife dieoffs: Why do they occur?
Peter J. Colby
1971, Limnos (4) 18-27
Periodid midwinter, early spring, and summer mortalities of alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) have been common in the Great Lakes since the first appearance of the silvery marine invader in Lake Ontario in the mid-1870's. In 1967 a nationally publicized dieoff of tremendous magnitude (estimated at several hundred million pounds of...
