High alumina metamorphic rocks of the Kings Mountain district, North Carolina and South Carolina
Donald Brandreth Potter
1954, Open-File Report 54-248
The following evidence suggests that high alumina quartzite in this district is of metasedimentary origin: high alumina quartzite occurs as well defined thin beds that can be traced up to three and one half miles along strike; many outcrops of high alumina quartzite exhibit compositional layering (i.e., kyanigte quartzite is...

Contribution to the study of the physico-chemical structure of Clais
Remy Hebert, S. E. Britt (translator)
1954, Open-File Report 54-28
The Cormeilles-en-Parisis hill shows one of the best geologic sections of the Paris region. The 80 meter high working face of the quarry exposes the complete section of the "Ludian" [the youngest beds of the Eocene] with its alternations of the marl and gypsum. Above is the sequence of supra-gypseous...
Preliminary report of investigations of springs in the Mogollon Rim region Arizona
J. H. Feth
1954, Open-File Report 54-339
The Geological Survey has made a reconnaissance of springs in the Mogollon Rim region in central Arizona. This region is the source of much of the water in the Gila, Salt, and Verde Rivers. The region has not previously been systematically studied with respect to the occurrence of ground water....

1954, Open-File Report 54-256
The Eureka Pegmatite, two miles southeast of Keystone, Pennington County, South Dakota, is a small but possibly valuable zoned body containing more than 85,000 tons of coarse-grained granite-pegmatite rock.The mica in the pegmatite is probably not of any great importance, but the potash feldspar and beryl may comprise a considerable...

Landslide conditions along the Ferry County highway parallelling Lake Roosevelt from Kettle Falls to the mouth of the Spokane River, Washington
Fred O. Jones
1954, Open-File Report 54-136
As part of the program of the U.S. Geological Survey, landslides are being studied in several localities in the United States. These studies are directed toward assembling criteria for recognition of landslides, classification, and cataloging of remedial or control methods that have been effective. In the gorge of the Columbia...
Magnetite deposits at Tuxedni Bay, Alaska
Arthur Grantz
1954, Open-File Report 54-103
The magnetite deposits on an island in Tuxedni Bay occur in contact-metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks near their contact with a quartz diorite batholith which underlies large areas of the adjacent Aleutian Range. The deposits are pyrometasomatic in origin and are localized along northeast-trending fractures. The eastern deposit is a...
Current velocities in Sagadahoc Bay, Maine
C. E. Knox, W. H. Bradley
1954, Open-File Report 54-149
During the summer of 1953 continuous velocities were obtained through a tidal cycle at each of the 17 stations indicated on the accompanying map. Tidal cycle as used in this report applies to the interval of 4 to 6 hours when the tidal flat at a given station is submerged....
First Fourteen Years of Lake Mead
Harold E. Thomas
1954, Circular 346
This circular summarizes the results of recent studies of Lake Mead and its environs. Area-capacity tables, prepared on the basis of a hydrographic survey of the lake in 1948-49, show that the capacity of the reservoir was reduced 4.9 percent during the first 14 years after Hoover Dam was completed,...

Airborne radioactivity surveys for phosphate in Florida
Robert M. Moxham
1954, Circular 230
Airborne radioactivity surveys totaling 5, 600 traverse miles were made in 10 areas in Florida, which were thought to be geologically favorable for deposits of uraniferous phosphate. Abnormal radioactivity was recorded in 8 of the 10 areas surveyed. The anomalies are located in Bradford, Clay, Columbia, DeSoto, Dixie, Lake, Marion,...
