Fluctuations in the fisheries of State of Michigan waters of Green Bay
Ralph Hile, George F. Lunger, Howard J. Buettner
1953, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (54) 1-34
Green Bay, traditionally a major center of production, has assumed in recent years a position of overwhelming dominance in the commercial fisheries of the State of Michigan waters of Lake Michigan. Within the 4-year period 1945-1948 the commercial take in State of Michigan waters of Green Bay increased from 3,317,000...
War on lampreys
James W. Moffett
1953, Philadelphia Enquirer, 23 August 1953 16-17
Vampire-like sea lampreys look somewhat like short sections of garden hose, swim like eels, and live solely on the blood of fishes. Their voracious appetites have been especially harmful to fish in the Great Lakes, and it is there that methods of underwater electrocution are being applied in their...
Technique for the application of a streamer-type fish tag
Leonard S. Joeris
1953, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (82) 42-47
Principal features of the technique are: attachment of the plastic tag by means of a nylon-thread loop prepared in advance of field work; use of a curved surgical needle with cutting edge and a split eye for application of the tag. The procedures for splitting the needle's eye and for...
Lake Bonneville: Geology of northern Utah Valley, Utah
C. B. Hunt, H.D. Varnes, H. E. Thomas
1953, Professional Paper 257-A
Lake Bonneville was a vast Pleistocene lake that covered 20,000 square miles in northwestern Utah and had a maximum depth of about 1,000 feet. It was a body of water comparable in size to modern Lake Michigan.Surveys of the unconsolidated deposits in the Lake Bonneville basin utilize the same methods...
Systematic variation of rare earths in monazite
K. J. Murata, H. J. Rose Jr., M. K. Carron
1953, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (4) 292-300
Ten monazites from widely scattered localities have been analyzed for La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Y and Th by means of a combined chemical and emission spectrographic method. The analytical results, calculated to atomic percent of total rare earths (thorium excluded), show a considerable variation in the proportions of...

Determination of traces of cobalt in soils: A field method
H. Almond
1953, Analytical Chemistry (25) 166-167
The growing use of geochemical prospecting methods in the search for ore deposits has led to the development of a field method for the determination of cobalt in soils. The determination is based on the fact that cobalt reacts with 2-nitroso-1-naphthol to yield a pink compound that is soluble in...

Geology of the Quartz Creek Pegmatite District, Gunnison County Colorado
Mortimer H. Staatz, A.F. Trites
1952, Trace Elements Investigations 138
The Quartz Creek pegmatite district includes an area about 29 square miles in the vicinity of Quartz Creek in Gunnison County,. Colo. This area contains 1,803 pegmatites that are intruded into pre-Cambrian rocks. The rocks exposed in the district range in age from pre-Cambrian to Recent. The oldest pre-Cambrian rocks are...
Geology and pegmatites of part of the Fourmile area, Custer County, South Dakota
A.J. Lang Jr., J. A. Redden
1952, Trace Elements Investigations 155
The Fourmile area, Custer County, S. Dak., is in pre-Cambrian metamorphic rocks that surround the granitic core of the Black Hills. The area is on the upright limb of an overturned anticline that plunges about 30° S. 10° E. Three new formations of metamorphic rocks are described that have a total...

Stratigraphy of the outcropping formations in southern Florida
Melvin Carroll Schroeder, Nevin Douglas Hoy
1952, Conference Paper, A summary of the geology of Florida and a guidebook to the Cenozoic exposures of a portion of the State
The geology of southern Florida, except for the Pliocene deposits, is not widely known among geologists and paleontologists. The popular concept is that there are very few outcrops in this part of the State. It is true that there are very few natural exposures, but the dredging of rivers and...
