Mallard hatching from an egg cracked by freezing
R. J. Greenwood
1969, The Auk (86) 752-754
The eggs of early-nesting waterfowl in North Dakota are frequently exposed to subfreezing temperatures. Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and Pintail (Anas acuta), normally the first ducks to arrive in the spring, begin limited early nesting in min-April. Nighttime temperatures during this period frequently drop below freezing, and late spring blizzards are...
Pyrolysis of humic and fulvic acids
R.L. Wershaw, G.E. Bohner Jr.
1969, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (33) 757-762
Pyrolysis of humic and fulvic acids isolated from a North Carolina soil yields a variety of aromatic, heterocyclic and straight chain organ compounds. The pyrolysis products identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry indicate that humic and fulvic acids have aromatic and polysaccharide...
The relationship of the rare-earth composition of minerals to geological environment
M. Fleischer, Z. S. Altschuler
1969, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (33) 725-732
It has been known for a long time that the composition of the lanthanides in minerals is controlled to a large degree by crystallo-chemical factors, but is also greatly influenced by changes in geological environment. In general, igneous rocks rich in silica are favourable for the concentration of the heavy...
Saline water in southeastern New Mexico
W. L. Hiss, J.B. Peterson, T.R. Ramsey
1969, Chemical Geology (4) 341-360
Saline waters from formations of several geologic ages are being studied in a seven-county area in southeastern New Mexico and western Texas, where more than 30,000 oil and gas tests have been drilled in the past 40 years. This area of 7,500 sq. miles, which is stratigraphically complex, includes...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Epifauna and thermal additions in the upper Patuxent River estuary
R. L. Cory, J. W. Nauman
1969, Chesapeake Science (10) 210-217
In the upper Patuxent Estuary environmental changes in temperature, salinity, and turbidity over a 5-year period are linked to changes in epifaunal production and species distribution. During 1967 a series of monthly panels showed dry weight production averaged 2.8 times greater in a steam electric station...
Cliftonite: A proposed origin, and its bearing on the origin of diamonds in meteorites
R. Brett, G.T. Higgins
1969, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (33)
Cliftonite, a polycrystalline aggregate of graphite with spherulitic structure and cubic morphology, is known in 14 meteorites. Some workers have considered it to be a pseudomorph after diamond, and have used the proposed diamond ancestry as evidence of a meteoritic parent body of at least lunar dimensions. Careful examination of...
Etching fission tracks in zircons
C. W. Naeser
1969, Science (165) 388-388
A new technique has been developed whereby fission tracks can be etched in zircon with a solution of sodiuim hydroxide at 220°C. Etching...
