Availability of ground water in the lower Pawcatuck River basin, Rhode Island
Joseph B. Gonthier, Herbert E. Johnston, Glenn T. Malmberg
1974, Water Supply Paper 2033
The lower Pawcatuck River basin in southwestern Rhode Island is an area of about 169 square miles underlain by crystalline bedrock over which lies a relatively thin mantle of glacial till and stratified drift. Stratified drift, consisting dominantly of sand and gravel, occurs in irregularly shaped linear deposits that are...
Comparison of elemental accumulation rates between ferromanganese deposits and sediments in the South Pacific Ocean
T. Kraemer, J.C. Schornick
1974, Chemical Geology (13) 187-196
Rates of accumulation of Fe and Mn, as well as Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Zn, Hg, U and Th have been determined for five ferromanganese deposits from four localities in the South Pacific Ocean.Manganese is accumulating in nodules and crusts at a rate roughly equivalent to that found...
Heat flow from eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia
J.H. Sass, R. J. Munroe, T. H. Moses Jr.
1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (21) 134-142
Heat flows were determined at 12 sites in four distinct areas between longitude 77° and 80°W in eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia. Evidently, most of the region is underlain by mafic oceanic crust so that the crustal radiogenic component of heat...
Spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum in rocks with thiocyanate
E.G. Lillie, L. P. Greenland
1974, Analytica Chimica Acta (69) 313-320
A rapid procedure for the determination of microgram amounts of molybdenum in rocks is described. After acid decomposition, molybdenum is extracted from a hydrochloric acid solution into xylene with tributyl phosphate. After back-extraction with water, molybdenum is extracted as the α-benzoinoximate into chloroform, stripped into...
Argillization by descending acid at Steamboat Springs, Nevada
Robert Schoen, Donald E. White, J.J. Hemley
1974, Clays and Clay Minerals (22) 1-22
Steamboat Springs, Nevada, an area of present-day hot springs, clearly illustrates the genetic dependence of some kaolin deposits on hot-spring activity. Andesite, granodiorite and arkosic sediments are locally altered at the land surface to siliceous residues consisting of primary quartz and anatase, plus opal from primary silicates. These siliceous residues...
Homing to nest baskets by wild female mallards
Harold A. Doty, F.B. Lee
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 714-719
A high rate of homing to nest baskets by adult female mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) was observed in prairie potholes of North Dakota. One hundred and thirteen female mallards were caught on nest baskets, banded, and marked with nasal saddles. Forty-six percent homed at least once to nest baskets in the...

Feeding ecology of pintail hens during reproduction
Gary L. Krapu
1974, The Auk (91) 278-290
Food supply has been acknowledged as one of eight major external factors regulating the sexual cycles of birds (Marshall 1961). Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain the role of food supply as an ultimate factor regulating breeding (Marshall 1951; Lack 1954, 1968; Wynne-Edwards 1962; and others). Another potential influence...

Habitat management considerations for prairie chickens
L.M. Kirsch
1974, Wildlife Society Bulletin (2) 124-129
Lack of nesting and brood rearing habitat appears to be the universal limiting factor for prairie chickens (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) throughout their range. Grasslands are essential to prairie chickens, but vary widely in quality and thus in their ability to support prairie chickens. High-quality habitat is grassland providing residual vegetation...

U-Th-Pb and Rb-Sr systematics of Apollo 17 boulder 7 from the North Massif of the Taurus-Littrow Valley
P.D. Nunes, M. Tatsumoto, D.M. Unruh
1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (23) 445-452
Portions of highland breccia boulder 7 collected during the Apollo 17 mission were studied using UThPb and RbSr systematics. A RbSr internal isochron age of3.89 ± 0.08b.y. with an initial87Sr/86Sr of0.69926 ± 0.00008 was obtained for...

Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol residues in fish
J. L. Allen, J.B. Sills
1974, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (57) 387-388
A procedure for the determination of 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) in fish tissues is described. Homogenized tissues are extracted with hexane-ethyl ether; the extract is cleaned up by partitioning the TFM from the extracting solvent into 0.1N NaOH, acidifying the aqueous solution, and partitioning again with hexaneethyl ether. The TFM is methylated with...
