Nickeliferous laterites in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California
Preston E. Hotz
1964, Economic Geology (59) 355-396
Deposits of ferruginous nickeliferous lateritic soils formed by weathering in place of ultramafic rocks occur at several places in northwestern California and southwestern Oregon, mostly in the Klamath Mountains province. Most of the deposits have been derived from relatively fresh peridotite, although at least one...
Deep geothermal brine near Salton Sea, California
Donald E. White
1964, Bulletin Volcanologique (27) 369-370
A well drilled for geothermal power near Salton Sea in Imperial Valley, Calif., is 5,232 feet deep; it is the deepest well in the world (1962) in a high-temperature hot spring area. In the lower half of the hole temperatures are too high to measure with available equipment, but are...

Oriented lakes and lineaments of northeastern Bolivia
George Plafker
1964, GSA Bulletin (75) 503-522
Strongly oriented lineaments, defined by lake shores and stream and vegetation alignments, are distributed throughout more than 45,000 square miles of the Beni basin in northeastern Bolivia. The area in which these features occur is a flat, poorly drained, lake-studded plain. It is underlain by flat-lying, poorly consolidated, continental clastic...
Potassium-argon dates of three pleistocene interglacial basalt flows from the Sierra Nevada, california
G. Brent Dalrymple
1964, GSA Bulletin (75) 753-758
Potassium-argon dates of 90,000 ± 90,000 years and 60,000 ± 50,000 years on the basalt in Sawmill Canyon of the Sierra Nevada, California, that underlies a moraine correlated with the Tahoe Glaciation and overlies pre-Tahoe till show that the Tahoe is probably less than 100,000...

Barchan-dune movement in Imperial Valley, California
Joseph Long, Robert Sharp
1964, GSA Bulletin (75) 149-156
The movement of 47 barchan dunes on the west side of Salton Sea, California, ranged from 325 to 925 feet over the 7 years between 1956 and 1963, an average of 82 feet per year. During the 15 years between 1941 and 1956, the movement...

Thorne Cave, northeastern Utah: Geology
Harold E. Malde, Asher P. Schick
1964, American Antiquity (30) 60-73
Geologic interest in Thorne Cave stems from its link with valley alluvium along Cliff Creek, which accumulated to a height of 48 ft., continued to build up another 13 ft. while men lived here, and then reached 30 ft. higher-sealing in the signs of man. Mineralogic study shows that ground water then circulated...

Amphibian cell culture: Permanent cell line from the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana)
K. Wolf, M. C. Quimby
1964, Science (144) 1578-1580
A line of fibroblast cells has been established from tongue tissue of the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana). The cells are near-triploid and were subcultured 57 times during the 2⅔ years of their existence. Some of their characteristics are described....

Volcanic ash from Mount Mazama (Crater Lake) and from Glacier Peak
H. A. Powers, R.E. Wilcox
1964, Science (144) 1334-1336
New petrographic and chemical data indicate that the great Mount Mazama eruption at Crater Lake, Oregon, about 6600 years ago was the source of most ash which has been called "Glacier Peak" and of some ash called "Galata." Glacier Peak volcano in Washington was itself the source of an older...
Composition of basalts from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
A.E.J. Engel, C.G. Engel
1964, Science (144) 1330-1333
Studies of volcanic rocks in dredge hauls from the submerged parts of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge suggest that it consists largely of tholeiitic basalt with low values of K, Ti, and P. In contrast, the volcanic islands which form the elevated caps on the Ridge are built of...
Mineral paragenesis and zoning in the central Kentucky mineral district
J. L. Jolly, A. V. Heyl
1964, Economic Geology (59) 596-624
The Central Kentucky mineral district occupies the greater part of the Blue Grass lowland of Kentucky, which lies astride the Lexington dome and the Cincinnati arch. The oldest exposed rocks of the mineralized area are limestones of Middle Ordovician age. The paragenesis throughout the district is constant and traceable, although the relative abundance of minerals varies from vein to vein....

Distribution of narrow-width magnetic anomalies in Antarctica
John C. Behrendt
1964, Science (144) 993-999
Data for aeromagnetic profiles obtained in Antarctica during the 1963-64 austral summer were used together with earlier results to construct a map showing the areal distribution of narrow-width magnetic anomalies. Numerous anomalies are associated with known volcanic mountains in western Antarctica. A large area of few anomalies is probably a...
Management of predator populations with antifertility agents
D. S. Balser
1964, Journal of Wildlife Management (28) 352-358
The search for methods, other than lethal techniques, for controlling predatory animals causing economic losses to the livestock industry prompted investigation of antifertility agents to suppress reproduction. Diethylstilbestrol was selected for initial trials because of its demonstrated antifertility effect on rabbits, mink (Mustela vison), dogs, and cattle. In penned tests...

Woodcock age and sex determination from wings
F.W. Martin
1964, Journal of Wildlife Management (28) 287-293
Age of woodcock (Philohela minor) can be accurately determined throughout the year by differences in pattern, color, and wear of secondary feathers. Immature woodcock retain most secondaries during the postjuvenal molt that begins in July or August and ends in October. In contrast, subadults (first-year adults) and older woodcock molt...
