D.L. Taylor, editor(s)
1977, Conference Paper, Proceedings: Third International Coral Reef Symposium
Core drilling and examination of underwater excavation on 6 reef sites in south Florida and Dry Tortugas revealed that underlying topography is the major factor controlling reef morphology. Carbon-14 dating on coral recovered from cores enables calculation of accumulation rates. Accumulation rates were found to range from 0.38 m/1000 years...

Some characteristics of Pele's hair
Wendell A. Duffield, Everett K. Gibson Jr., Grant Heiken
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 93-101
Pele's hair is a filamentous variety of brown sideromelane glass that forms during eruption of basaltic lava. Strands of Pele's hair form from droplets of lava that are spun or stretched into filaments during quenching, and others may form as chilled streamers of lava. Common elongate vesicles, sometimes twisted, indicate...

Limestone compaction: an enigma
Eugene A. Shinn, Robert B. Halley, J. Harold Hudson, Barbara H. Lidz
1977, Geology (5) 21-24
Compression of an undisturbed carbonate sediment core under a pressure of 556 kg/cm2 produced a “rock” with sedimentary structures similar to typical ancient fine-grained limestones. Surprisingly, shells, foraminifera, and other fossils were not noticeably crushed, which indicates that absence of crushed fossils in ancient limestones can no longer be considered...

A comparison of some analytical techniques for determining uranium, thorium, and potassium in granitic rocks
John S. Stuckless, Hugh T. Millard Jr., Carl M. Bunker, Ignatius T. Nkomo, John N. Rosholt, Charles A. Bush, Claude Huffman Jr., Ronald L. Keil
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 83-91
Geochemical exploration for uranium requires accurate and precise determinations of low-level concentrations. We have used seven different techniques and four different treatments of the fluorometric method to analyze for uranium in granitic rocks. In addition we have used four analytical techniques for thorium and three analytical techniques for potassium,...

Topography, structure, and mare ridges in southern Mare Imbrium and northern Oceanus Procellarum
Baerbel K. Lucchitta
1977, Conference Paper, Proceedings, 8th Lunar Science Conference
The gross topography in southern Mare Imbrium and northern Oceanus Procellarum correlates with the buried structure and deposits of the Imbrium Basin and its rim, and many of the mare slopes may be depositional and reflect the pre-existing major features of the basin. Post-depositional, local distortion of the mare surface,...
Crater clusters and light mantle at the Apollo 17 site: A result of secondary impact from Tycho
Baerbel K. Lucchitta
1977, Icarus (30) 80-96
The morphologies of Tycho secondary craters and their ejecta deposits were studied using full-Moon, Lunar-Orbiter, and Apollo panoramic photographs. These data were compared with similar data for the secondary craters and light mantle of the Apollo 17 landing site. The results indicate that (1) the central crater cluster and the...

Some Bayesian statistical techniques useful in estimating frequency and density
Douglas H. Johnson
1977, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 203
This paper presents some elementary applications of Bayesian statistics to problems faced by wildlife biologists. Bayesian confidence limits for frequency of occurrence are shown to be generally superior to classical confidence limits. Population density can be estimated from frequency data if the species is sparsely distributed relative to the size...

1977, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 198
A method of calculating distance and bearing from banding site to recovery location based on the solution of a spherical triangle is presented. X and Y distances on an ordinate grid were applied to computer plotting of recoveries on a map. The advantages and disadvantages of tables of recoveries by...

1977, Wildlife Leaflet 512
A list of materials necessary to build and use a 53-m-long cable-chain drag is presented. Techniques are described for searching, finding, and marking nests in a typical area of grassland.During nine nesting seasons, 7,894 nests representing 32 species were found by searching fields with cable-chain drags. Only 2% of the...
