Determination of rhenium in molybdenite by X-ray fluorescence. A combined chemical-spectrometric technique
M.W. Solt, James Samuel Wahlberg, A.T. Myers
1969, Talanta (16) 37-43
Rhenium in molybdenite is separated from molybdenum by distillation of rhenium heptoxide from a perchloric-sulphuric acid mixture. It is concentrated by precipitation of the sulphide and then determined by X-ray fluorescence. From 3 to 1000 μg of rhenium can be measured with a precision generally within...
Zircon ages of felsic volcanic rocks in the upper Precambrian of the Blue Ridge, Appalachian mountains
D.W. Rankin, T. W. Stern, J. Michael Reed, M. F. Newell
1969, Science (166) 741-744
Five zircon samples from Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina yield discordant uranium-lead ages which suggest an original age of 820 million years and an episodic lead loss at 240 million years. The indicated age of lead loss is interpreted as the age of movement of the Blue Ridge thrust sheet....
Florida submergence curve revised: Its relation to coastal sedimentation rates
D.W. Scholl, F.C. Craighead Sr., Minze Stuiver
1969, Science (163) 562-564
New data substantiate as well as modify the south Florida submergence curve, which indicates that eustatic sea level has risen continuously, although at a generally decreasing rate, during the last 6500 to 7000 sidereal years (5500 standard radiocarbon years) to reach its present position. Accumulation rates of coastal deposits are...
Species diversity: Benthonic Foraminifera in Western North Atlantic
M.A. Buzas, T. G. Gibson
1969, Science (163) 72-75
Maximum species diversity occurs at abyssal depths of greater than 2500 meters. Other diversity peaks occur at depths of 35 to 45 meters and 100 to 200 meters. The peak at 35 to 45 meters is due to species equitability, whereas the other two peaks correspond to an increase in...

Tertiary climatic change in the marginal northeastern Pacific Ocean
Warren O. Addicott
1969, Science (165) 583-586
Analysis of distributional patterns of shallow-water molluscan faunas of the middle latitudes of the marginal northeastern Pacific Ocean discloses a sharp reversal during the Miocene of the progressive climatic deterioration. A low point in the Tertiary cooling trend during the Oligocene was followed by climatic warming that culminated during the...

On the global variations of terrestrial heat-flow
W.H.K. Lee (compiler)
1969, Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors (2) 332-341
Over 3 500 measurements of surface heat-flux have been catalogued and analyzed to study the large-scale variations of terrestrial heat-flow. It was found that heat-flow values are correlated with major geologic provinces: higher averages and scattered values in active tectonic regions, and lower averages and more uniform values in stable...
Extraction of vanadium into isobutyl methyl ketone
Hans J. Crump-Wiesner, W.C. Purdy
1969, Talanta (16) 124-129
Because of its advantages in atomic-absorption spectroscopy, isobutyl methyl ketone was chosen as organic solvent for an extraction study on vanadium. Of eight chelating agents which were evaluated for completeness of extraction, ease of use, working pH range, and freedom from interference, cupferron was judged best.<div...
Magnetic susceptibility and exchange coupling in the mineral ardennite
A.N. Thorpe, Frank E. Senftle, G. Donnay
1969, Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids (30) 2235-2239
Ardennite, a rare silicate mineral, contains about 19 wt.% manganese. Some of the manganese atoms are in positions which are close enough to allow negative exchange and hence a reduction of the total magnetic susceptibility. It is shown that the susceptibility can be accounted for approximately by the treatment of...

Formation of halloysite from feldspar: Low temperature, artificial weathering versus natural weathering
Walter E. Parham
1969, Clays and Clay Minerals (17) 13-22
Weathering products formed on surfaces of both potassium and plagioclase feldspar (An70), which were continuously leached in a Soxhlet extraction apparatus for 140 days with 7.21 of distilled water per day at a temperature of approximately 78°C, are morphologically identical to natural products developed on potassium feldspars weathered under conditions...
Plaque assay and some characteristics of Egtved virus (virus of viral hemorrhagic septicemia of rainbow trout)

A plaque assay and some growth characteristics of Egtved virus in a line of rainbow trout cells (RTG-2) are described. Preliminary experiments with metabolic inhibitors suggest that the viral genome is ribonucleic acid....

Evaluation of lamprey larvicides in the Big Garlic River and Saux Head Lake

Bayluscide (5,2′-dichloro-4′-nitrosalicylanilide) and TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol) were evaluated as selective larvicides for control of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, in the Big Garlic River and Saux Head Lake in Marquette County, Michigan. Population estimates and movement of ammocetes were determined from the recapture of marked ammocetes released before chemical treatment. In 1966...
