Determination of rhenium in molybdenite by X-ray fluorescence. A combined chemical-spectrometric technique
M.W. Solt, J.S. 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...

Magnetic susceptibility and exchange coupling in the mineral ardennite
A. N. Thorpe, F. 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...
The morphology and chronology of a landslide near Dillon Dam, Dillon, Colorado
E.E. Wahlstrom, T. C. Nichols Jr.
1969, Engineering Geology (3) 149-174
Investigations were made of a landslide at the Dillon Dam site, Dillon, Colo., that included detailed laboratory and field analyses of the mineralogy, chemistry, and physical properties of landslide materials and the bedrock formations from which they were derived. These investigations provide an understanding of the relative importance of various...
Computer-produced tables, maps, and diagrams as tools in the interpretation of brine data from southeastern Kansas (U.S.A.)
J.M. McNellis, C.O. Morgan, B.H. Lowell
1969, Chemical Geology (4) 303-324
The applicability of computer-oriented techniques to assist in the interpretation of brine data is demonstrated by the use of six programs on data from two example areas. These programs include a data tabling routine; routines for producing Stiff, Piper, and Ropes diagrams;...
Determination of traces of silver in waters by anion exchange and atomic absorption spectrophotometry
T. T. Chao, M. J. Fishman, J.W. Ball
1969, Analytica Chimica Acta (47) 189-195
A method has been developed for the accurate determination of 0.1–1 μg of silver per liter of water. The method permits stabilization of silver in water without loss to container walls. Optimum conditions have been established for the complete recovery of silver from water with an anion-exchange column, for quantitative...
Insecticides and the Great Lakes
Robert E. Reinert
1969, Limnos (2) 3-9
Cracks in the perfect image of DDT appeared when traces of the insecticide began to show up in a wide variety of organisms throughout the world. As more and more people investigated this problem, it became increasingly evident that terrestrial and aquatic animals were accumulating comparatively high concentrations of...

Environmental impact of oil development in northern Alaska
Luna Bergere Leopold
1969, Report
It is reported that in the spring of 1969 a high official of one of the oil companies was flying over the area of oil development in the vicinity of Prudhoe Bay. He is quoted as saying "If the American people could see what we are doing to their land...
Stratified rocks of the Grand Canyon: Chapter B in The Colorado River region and John Wesley Powell (Professional Paper 669)
Edwin D. McKee
1969, Professional Paper 669-B
The record of the earth's history in the walls of the Grand Canyon has been deciphered through hard work by many people during the past 100 years. Much still remains unsolved. John Wesley Powell's contributions were of a pioneering type, though he was not the first to discuss the rocks...
Blueschist-facies metamorphism related to regional thrust faulting
M.C. Blake Jr., W. P. Irwin, R. G. Coleman
1969, Tectonophysics (8) 237-246
Rocks of the blueschist (glaucophane schist) facies occur throughout the world in narrow tectonic belts associated with ultramafic rocks. In the Coast Range province of California, blueschist rocks are devloped in the eugeosynclinal Franciscan Formation of Late Mesozoic age. The blueschist rocks form a narrow belt for more than 800...
Ion association in natural brines
A.H. Truesdell, B.F. Jones
1969, Chemical Geology (4) 51-62
Natural brines, both surface and subsurface, are highly associated aqueous solutions. Ion complexes in brines may be ion pairs in which the cation remains fully hydrated and the bond between the ions is essentially electrostatic, or coordination complexes in which one or more of the hydration water molecules are...
Geochemistry of pore waters from Shell Oil Company drill holes on the continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico
F.T. Manheim, J. L. Bischoff
1969, Chemical Geology (4) 63-82
Pore waters were analyzed from 6 holes drilled from M.V. “Eureka” as a part of the Shell Oil Co. deeper offshore study. The holes were drilled in water depths of 600–3,000 ft. (approximately 180–550 m) and penetrated up to 1,000 ft. (300 m) of Pliocene-Recent clayey sediments. Salt and...
Phosphorus fractionation diagram as a quantitative indicator of crystallization differentiation of basaltic liquids
A. T. Anderson, L. P. Greenland
1969, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (33) 493-505
Distribution factors of phosphorus (P in mineral/P in liquid) between phenocryst minerals and coexisting basaltic groundmass are: olivine (Fa20: 0.04 to 0.02; orthopyroxene (Fs20): 0.01; augite: 0.02 to 0.01; plagioclase: 0.02; ilmenite: 0.04. Because of the smallness of these distribution factors the ratio of phosphorus in the initial liquid to...
Determination of palladium and platinum by atomic absorption
M. M. Schnepfe, F. S. Grimaldi
1969, Talanta (16) 591-595
Palladium and platinum are determined by atomic absorption after fire-assay concentration into a gold bead. The limit of determination is ~0·06 ppm in a 20-g sample. Serious depressive interelement interferences are removed by buffering the solutions with a mixture of cadmium and copper sulphates with cadmium...

Mortality of wood ducklings (Aix sponsa) from hatching to 6 weeks of age averaged 47 percent during a 4-year study at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. Over 90 percent of the total mortality occurred during the first 2 weeks of life. Brood bonds began to dissolve after the fifth week....

The rapids and the pools - Grand Canyon: Chapter D in The Colorado River region and John Wesley Powell (Professional Paper 669)
Luna Bergere Leopold
1969, Professional Paper 669-D
Through the Grand Canyon the Colorado drops in elevation about 2,200 feet in 280 miles; most of this drop occurs in rapids that account for only 10 percent of the distance. Despite the importance of rapids, there are no waterfalls. Depth measurements made at 1/10-mile intervals show that the bed...
Geochemical maps of an area northwest of the Chulitna River, central Alaska Range
C. C. Hawley, Allen L. Clark
1969, Open-File Report 69-123
An area northwest of the Chulitna River in west-central Alaska Range locally shows local anomalous concentrations of gold, silver, arsenic, copper, zinc, and lead in stream-sediment samples. Most stream sediments showing anomalous concentrations of metals can be correlated with either known or newly discovered deposits or occurrences described in Circular...
