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...

1967, Science (156) 1484-1486
Carbon unusually rich in C13(δC13 = +5.4 to +19.0 per mil relative to the Peedee belemnite carbonate standard of the University of Chicago) is...
Potassium-argon ages of recent rhyolites of the Mono and Inyo craters, California
G. Brent Dalrymple
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (3) 289-298
Twenty-two KAr ages were determined for sanidine samples from 10 rhyolite domes of the Mono and Inyo Craters to test the applicability of KAr dating to volcanic rocks of Recent age. Comparison of the results with ‘blank’ and dosed analyses shows...
The occurrence and origin of lamellar troilite in iron meteorites
R. Brett, E.P. Henderson
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 721-730
A number of iron meteorites contain elongated inclusions consisting predominantly of troilite, which have been termed Reichenbach lamellae. Two types of inclusions exist, the first up to 6 cm long and 0·2 mm wide, the second up to 2 cm long and 3 mm wide. The first type contains troilite...
Morphological abnormalities among lampreys
Patrick J. Manion
1967, Copeia (1967) 680-681
The experimental control of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in the Great Lakes has required the collection of thousands of lampreys. Representatives of each life stage of the four species of the Lake Superior basin were examined for structural abnormalities. The most common aberration was the presence of...
Diatoms as food of larval sea lampreys in a small tributary of northern Lake Michigan
Patrick J. Manion
1967, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (96) 224-226
The food and food preferences of sea lamprey ammocoetes have not been investigated. The food of the larval American brook lamprey, Lampetra lamottei, in the Great Lakes region consisted mainly of diatoms and desmids according to Creaser and Hann. Schroll discussed the biology of feeding of ammocoetes of Lampetra planeri...
Molecular characteristics versus biological activity
Vernon C. Applegate, Manning A. Smith, Bennett R. Willeford
1967, Chemistry (40) 28-30
The molecular characteristics of mononitrophenols containing halogens not only play a key role in their biological activity but provide a novel example of selective toxicity among vertebrate animals. It has been reported that efforts to control the parasitic sea lamprey in the Great Lakes are directed at present to...
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...

1967, Report
This compilation is a listing of the serial publications cited in the following publications of the United States Geological Survey: Geophysical Abstracts, Abstracts of North American Geology, Bibliography of North American Geology, and Bibliography of Hydrology of the United States. A supplement of publications added since the main list was...
The Amazon, measuring a mighty river
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1967, Report
The Amazon, the world's largest river, discharges enough water into the sea each day to provide fresh water to the City of New York for over 9 years. Its flow accounts for about 15 percent of all the fresh water discharged into the oceans by all the rivers of the...
Digital caliper
Louella E. Cable
1967, Copeia (1967) 683-685
The large number of measurements needed to describe fully the characteristics of biological specimens and other objects has always been tedious and time consuming. The work can be done much more rapidly and with greater accuracy with a digital caliper recently developed by us. The digital caliper is...
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...
Loss of halogens from crystallized and glassy silicic volcanic rocks
D. C. Noble, V. C. Smith, L. C. Peck
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 215-223
One hundred and sixty-four F and Cl analyses of silicic welded tuffs and lavas and glass separates are presented. Comparison of the F and Cl contents of crystallized rocks with those of nonhydrated glass and hydrated glassy rocks from the same rock units shows that most of the halogens originally...

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 fractionation of nickel between olivine and augite as a geothermometer
T.A. Hakli, T. L. Wright
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 877-884
The coexisting olivine, clinopyroxene and glass of five samples collected from the Makaopuhi lava lake in Hawaii, at temperatures ranging from 1050 to 1160°C were analysed for nickel with an electron probe microanalyser. The results strongly suggest that the distribution of nickel between these three phase pairs well obeys the...

Now that the dust has settled it is possible to assess the long term effects of the Alaskan earthquake on March 27, both on the activities of man and on the wild life of the State....
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: new data from Olduvai Gorge, Tanganyika
C. S. Grommé, R. L. Hay
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (2) 111-115
The lower lava flow of Bed I in Olduvai Gorge, Tanganyika, carries natural remanent magnetization (NRM) having normal polarity. Thermal demagnetization experiments demonstrate the stability of this NRM. Thus the Olduvai geomagnetic polarity event, which was originally named from the upper lava...
