M. Tatsumoto
1969, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (6) 369-376
The isotopic composition of lead in the Japanese primary basalts gradually decreases in radiogenic character in a transverse from the Pacific Ocean side to the Japan Sea side, whereas the observed 238U204Pb">238U204Pb and 232Th204Pb">232Th204Pb ratios...
Plaque assay and some characteristics of Egtved virus (virus of viral hemorrhagic septicemia of rainbow trout)
J. B. Campbell, Ken Wolf
1969, Canadian Journal of Microbiology (15) 635-637
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....
Surface area of vermiculite with nitrogen and carbon dioxide as adsorbates
Josephus Thomas Jr., Bruce F. Bohor
1969, Clays and Clay Minerals (17) 205-209
Surface-area studies were made on several homoionic vermiculites with both nitrogen and carbon dioxide as adsorbates. These studies show that only very slight penetration occurs between individual vermiculite platelets. This is in contrast to an earlier investigation of montmorillonite where it was found that the degree of penetration between layers...
Heat flow measurements on the southeast coast of Australia
R.D. Hyndman, J.C. Jaeger, J.H. Sass
1969, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (7) 12-16
Three boreholes have been drilled for the Australian National University near the southeast coast of New South Wales, Australia. The heat flows found are 1.1, 1.0, and 1.3 μcal/cm2sec. The errors resulting from the proximity of the sea and a lake, surface...
The determination of nanogram amounts of Chromium in urine by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy
K. Beyermann, H. J. Rose Jr., R.P. Christian
1969, Analytica Chimica Acta (45) 51-55
Nanogram amounts of chromium can be extracted as oxinate into chloform. By treatment of the chloroform layer 3 M hydrochloric acid, oxinates of other elements and excess of reagent are removed, leaving a chloroform solution of the chromium chelate only. This solution is concentrated and transferred to...
Quantitative comparison of peritoneal washes and feces for detecting infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) virus in carrier brook trout
J.L. Billi, K. Wolf
1969, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (26) 1459-1465
Paired fecal samples and peritoneal washes were taken from 300 18-month-old brook trout for determining their relative value in detecting IPN virus. The testing of feces revealed 14 times as many carriers as were found by peritoneal washes. Initial examinations showed at least 63% of the fish to be carriers...
Anorthosite belts, continental drift, and the anorthosite event

1969, Science (164) 944-947
Most anorthosites lie in two principal belts when plotted on a predrift continental reconstruction. Anorthosite ages in the belts cluster around 1300 ±...

Invertebrate macrobenthos of western Lake Superior
Jarl K. Hiltunen
1969, Michigan Academician (1) 123-133
The present report contributes to knowledge of the relative abundance of major groups of benthic invertebrates in western Lake Superior, primarily in the Apostle Islands region. Observations are made on the depth habitation of certain species, and some of the fauna are compared to that in some of the...

Rearing of sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, embryos in distilled water
George W. Piavis, John H. Howell
1969, Copeia (1969) 204-205
Most embryological studies of lampreys in the Great Lakes have been conducted with filtered water from Lake Huron. Although this water was entirely satisfactory for the earlier work, the present need for knowledge of the effects of various compounds on embryological development requires that the initial medium be sterile....

Hydrology of the San Luis Valley, south-central Colorado
P. A. Emery, A. J. Boettcher, R.J. Snipes, H.J. Mcintyre Jr.
1969, Report
An investigation of the water resources of the Colorado part of the San Luis Valley was begun in 1966 by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Colorado Water Conservation Board. (See index map, fig. 1). The purpose of the investigation is to provide information for planning and implementing...
Fractionation of gold in a differentiated tholeiitic dolerite
J.J. Rowe
1969, Chemical Geology (4) 421-427
Gold content was determined, by neutron-activation analysis, in samples from a drill core through the Great Lake sheet, Tasmania, a differentiated tholeiitic dolerite. The gold content of parts of the core seems to be related to the mafic index. The variation of...
The isotopic composition of lead in potassium feldspars from some 1.0-b.y. old North American igneous rocks
R. E. Zartman, G.J. Wasserburg
1969, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (33) 901-942
The isotopic composition of lead and the uranium, thorium and lead concentrations in potassium feldspars are determined for more than 30 1.0-b.y. old North American igneous rocks. Samples representing a broad spectrum in petrographic type and mode of occurrence were chosen; an effort was made to include only rocks having...
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...
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...

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...
The determination of the acoustic parameters of volcanic rocks from compressional velocity measurements
R. D. Carroll
1969, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts (6) 557-579
A statistical analysis was made of the relationship of various acoustic parameters of volcanic rocks to compressional wave velocities for data obtained in a volcanic region in Nevada. Some additional samples, chiefly granitic rocks, were also included in the study to extend the range of parameters and the variety of...
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...
