Minor-element composition and organic carbon content of marine and nonmarine shales of Late Cretaceous age in the western interior of the United States
H. A. Tourtelot
1964, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (28) 1579-1604
The composition of nonmarine shales of Cretaceous age that contain less than 1 per cent organic carbon is assumed to represent the inherited minor-element composition of clayey sediments delivered to the Cretaceous sea that occupied the western interior region of North America. Differences in minor-element content between these samples and...

This digital dataset describes classes of land-surface form in the conterminous United States. The source of the data is the map of land-surface form in the 1970 National Atlas of the United States, pages 62-63, which was adapted from Edwin H. Hammond, "Classes of land surface form in the...
Chemical quality of surface water in the West Branch Susquehanna River basin, Pennsylvania
Edward F. McCarren
1964, Water Supply Paper 1779-C
The West Branch Susquehanna River is 228 miles long and drains 6,913 square miles of mountainous area in central Pennsylvania. Much of this area is forestcovered wilderness, part of which is reserved as State game land. Wild animals, such as deer, bear, turkey and grouse, are sheltered there, and many...

Bottom sediments of Saginaw Bay, Michigan
Leonard E. Wood
1964, Journal of Sedimentary Petrology (34) 173-184
Saginaw Bay is a southwest extension of Lake Huron on the east shore of the Southern Peninsula of Michigan. It is a shallow-water derivative of the Pleistocene Lake Saginaw. Sixty-one bottom samples were collected on a semigrid pattern and analyzed physically. Findings were treated statistically. Sediments range in size from...

Apparatus for continuous extraction of nonpolar compounds from water applied to determination of chlorinated pesticides and intermediates
L. Kahn, C. H. Wayman
1964, Analytical Chemistry (36) 1340-1343
A continuous, multichamber liquid-liquid extractor, with internal solvent recycle, for the extraction of nonpolar contaminants from natural waters is described. The multichamber arrangement makes it possible to judge the completeness of extraction of a given component from the aqueous stream. Recoveries as high as 100% are obtained by applying the...
Spectrophotometric determination of fluorine in silicate rocks
L. C. Peck, V. C. Smith
1964, Talanta (11) 1343-1347
The rock powder is sintered with a sodium carbonate flux containing zinc oxide and magnesium carbonate, the sinter-cake leached with water and the resulting solution filtered. Fluorine is separated from the acidified filtrate by steam distillation and determined spectrophotometrically by means of a zirconium-SPADNS reagent. If...
A thermodynamic study of pyrite and pyrrhotite
P. Toulmin III, P. B. Barton Jr.
1964, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (28) 641-671
Through the use of the electrum-tarnish method the following equation has been found to interrelate the composition of pyrrhotite, fugacity of sulfur, and temperature: In this equation fs2 is the fugacity of sulfur relative to the ideal diatomic gas at 1 atm, N is the mol fraction of FeS in pyrrhotite (in the...
Cenomanian (Cretaceons) Foraminifera from the Puerto Rico Trench
R. Todd, D. Low
1964, Deep-Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts (11) 391-393
An assemblage of predominantly planktonic Foraminifera is discussed from rocks of Cenomanian age dredged from between 3,200 and 3,500 fm on the north slope of the Puerto Rico Trench. Thirty-three planktonic and benthonic species are described. Planomalina pulchella is new; nine species are specifically...
Crystal formation in furunculosis agar
G. L. Bullock, A. J. Ross
1964, Progressive Fish-Culturist (26) 25-26
SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION SOME MONTHS AGO, FURUNCULOSIS AGAR has been employed in the diagnosis of suspect furunculosis and also as a general purpose medium. During our work with this medium we have noticed discrete "colonies," of crystalline material, which very closely resemble microbial colonies. These crystal colonies are compact and appear...
Vapor pressure and vapor fractionation of silicate melts of tektite composition
Louis S. Walter, M. K. Carron
1964, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (28) 937-951
The total vapor pressure of Philippine tektite melts of approximately 70 per cent silica has been determined at temperatures ranging from 1500 to 2100°C. This pressure is 190 ± 40 mm Hg at 1500°C, 450 ± 50 mm at 1800°C and 850 ± 70 mm at 2100° C. Determinations were...
Age, growth and sex composition of the American smelt Osmerus mordax(Mitchill), of western Lake Superior
Merryll M. Bailey
1964, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (93) 382-395
This study is based on 4,561 smelt collected in Chequamegon Bay, the Apostle Islands, the Brule River, and Superior Harbor, all in western Lake Superior. Commercial production in the Great Lakes (U.S. and Canada combined) reached a peak of nearly 16 million pounds in 1960. Production in Lake...
Movements, growth, and rate of recapture of whitefish tagged in the Apostle Islands area of Lake Superior
William R. Dryer
1964, Fishery Bulletin (63) 611-618
A total of 1,303 whitefish were marked with spaghetti streamer tags in Wisconsin waters off Lake Superior in November of 1959, 1960, and 1961 and June-July 1960. The fish tagged in June-July 1960 were mostly undersized (less than 17 inches long) whereas those captured on the spawning grounds and tagged...
