Large talus blocks litter the flat floor of Oceanographer Canyon at a depth of 1460 meters; they indicate down-axis mass transport of floor...
87Sr/86Sr ratios in some eugeosynclinal sedimentary rocks and their bearing on the origin of granitic magma in orogenic belts
Z. E. Peterman, C. E. Hedge, R. G. Coleman, P. D. Snavely Jr.
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (2) 433-439
Rb and Sr contents and87Sr/86Sr values were determined for samples of eugeosynclinal sedimentary rocks, mostly graywackes, from Oregon and California. These data are compatible with the theory of anataxis of eugeosynclinal sedimentary rocks in orogenic belts to produce granitic magmas provided...
Pliocene geomagnetic polarity epochs
G. B. Dalrymple, A. Cox, Richard R. Doell, C. S. Grommé
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (2) 163-173
A paleomagnetic and K-Ar dating study of 44 upper Miocene and Pliocene volcanic units from the western United States suggests that the frequency of reversals of the earth's magnetic field during Pliocene time may have been comparable with that of the...
The ternary system K2SO4 MgSO4 CaSO4
J.J. Rowe, G.W. Morey, C.C. Silber
1967, Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry (29) 925-942
Melting and subsolidus relations in the system K2SO4MgSO4CaSO4 were studied using heating-cooling curves, differential thermal analysis, optics, X-ray diffraction at room and high temperatures and by quenching techniques. Previous investigators were unable to study the binary MgSO4CaSO4 system and the adjacent area in the ternary system because of the decomposition of MgSO4 and...
Pressure derivatives of elastic moduli of fused quartz to 10 kb
L. Peselnick, R. Meister, W.H. Wilson
1967, Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids (28) 635-639
Measurements of the longitudinal and shear moduli were made on fused quartz to 10 kb at 24·5°C. The anomalous behavior of the bulk modulus K at low pressure, ∂K∂P< 0">∂K∂P< 0, begins to approach the “normal” behavior of solids, ∂K∂P> 0">∂K∂P> 0,...
The effect of the lamprey larvicide, 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol, on selected aquatic invertebrates
Allen J. Smith
1967, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (96) 410-413
The chemical compound 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) is used to control the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in the upper Great Lakes. It is introduced into streams in which sea lampreys have spawned, to kill the larvae. These 'treatments' are carried out at intervals shorter than the larval phase of the sea lamprey's...
Major land uses in the United States
Francis J. Marschner, James R. Anderson
1967, Report, The national atlas of the United States of America
This is a polygon coverage of major land uses in the United States. The source of the coverage is the map of major land uses in the National Atlas, pages 158-159, which was adapted from U.S. Department of Agriculture, "Major Land Uses in the United States," by Francis...

A seventeenth century mandibular tumor in a North American Indian
E.E. Kelln, E.V. McMichael, B. Zimmermann
1967, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology (23) 78-81
The oldest tumor so far recorded is believed to have been a hemangioma. It occurred in a bone of a dinosaur’s tail1 and thus considerably antedates the historical period. The oldest known human tumor is much younger, dating back only to the middle of the third century after Christ.1 It...
Yakima basalt of the Tieton River area, south-central Washington
Donald A. Swanson
1967, Geological Society of America Bulletin (78) 1077-1110
Up to 1700 feet of the upper Miocene-lower Pliocene Yakima Basalt of the Columbia River Group underlie much of the eastern flank of the Cascade Range in the Tieton River area, Yakima County, Washington. Local prebasalt relief was more than 1700 feet, so thicknesses of each of the 15...
On the chemistry of Jupiter's upper atmosphere
W.C. Saslaw, R.L. Wildey
1967, Icarus (7) 85-93
We conduct a first investigation into the ion-molecule chemistry of the upper Jovian atmosphere. Experimental results show that intense ultraviolet radiation reacts with the constituents of the Jovian atmosphere to produce C2H4, C2H6, C3H8, and higher polymers. The general procedure for calculating both equilibrium and nonequilibrium abundances of these products...

1967, Geografiska Annaler, Series A: Physical Geography (49) 247-255
An analysis of data on hydraulic parameters collected during a single boat trip down a river system is presented, plotted in form of the hydraulic geometry. A dimensionless rating curve is used to estimate bankfull and average discharge for basins of various sizes. When compared with gaging station data, estimates...
Field Methods for the Study of Slope and Fluvial Processes

1967, Revue de Géomorphologie Dynamique (17) 147-187
In Belgium during the summer of 1966 the Commission on Slopes and the Commission on Applied Geomorphology of the International Geographical Union sponsored a joint symposium, with field excursions, and meetings of the two commissions. As a result of the conference and associated discussions, the participants expressed the view that...

The northern part of the Ten Mile and Taunton River basins is an area of about 195 square miles within Norfolk, Plymouth, and Bristol Counties in southeastern Massachusetts. The northern boundary of the area (plate 1) is the drainage divide separating these basins from that of the Charles, Neponset, and...

Altithermal timberline advance in Western United States
Valmore C. LaMarche Jr., H. A. Mooney
1967, Nature (213) 980-982
A combination of radiocarbon dating and counting of annual rings of the remains of trees has been used to establish the time of retreat of forests from sub-alpine mountains in California and Nevada. The information obtained can serve as a palaeoclimatic indicator....
Borate mineral assemblages in the system Na2O-CaO-MgO-B2O3-H2O
C. L. Christ, A.H. Truesdell, Richard C. Erd
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 313-337
The significant known hydrated borate mineral assemblages (principally of the western United States) in the system Na2O-CaO-MgO-B2O3-H2O are expressible in three ternary composition diagrams. Phase rule interpretation of the diagrams is consistent with observation, if the activity of H2O is generally considered to be determined by the geologic environment. The...
Fractionation of rare-earth elements in allanite and monazite as related to geology of the Mt. Wheeler mine area, Nevada
D. E. Lee, H. Bastron
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 339-356
Rare-earth contents of 20 allanites and 13 monazites, accessory minerals from a restricted outcrop area of intrusive granitic rocks, are reported. A quantity called sigma (Σ), which is the sum of the atomic percentages of La, Ce and Pr, is used...

J. S. Stacey, W. J. Moore, R.D. Rubright
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (2) 489-499
A gas-source mass spectrometer has been constructed for the precise measurement of lead isotope ratios. Sixteen analyses on 4 different preparations of the same galena made over a period of 2 months gave 95% confidence limits (per analysis) of 206Pb/204Pb= 0.080%, 207Pb/206Pb= 0.042%and208Pb/206Pb=...

1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (3) 139-144
The isotopic composition of lead in Red Sea chloride brine containing 0.5 ppm Pb is found to be similar to that of some Cenozoic ore leads such as galena at Rabigh in Saudi Arabia that may have formed during mineralization accompanying Tertiary...
