Ground Water at Grant Village Site, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Ellis D. Gordon, Richard A. McCullough, Edwin P. Weeks
1961, Water Supply Paper 1475-F
On behalf of the National Park Service, the U.S. Geological Survey during the summer of 1959 made a study of ground-water conditions in the area of the Grant Village site, along the shore of the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake, 1 to 2 miles south of the present facilities at...
A study of flow in alluvial channels: the effect of large concentrations of fine sediment on the mechanics of flow in a small flume
William Leland Haushild, Daryl Baldwin Simons, Everett V. Richadrson
1961, Report
A flume study was made using a natural river sand as the bed material, median diameter = 0. 54 millimeters. Clear-water flow was compared with flow containing from 6 1 000 to 65,000 parts per million of fine sediment (bentonite). The study shows that the form of bed roughness could...
Surface water records of Indiana, 1961
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1961, Report
The surface-water records for the 1961 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of Indiana are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the...
Origin of Pennsylvanian underclay and related seat rocks
J. W. Huddle, S. H. Patterson
1961, Geological Society of America Bulletin (72) 1643-1660
Seat rocks, including underclay, underlie coal beds and show features such as roots, profiles similar to water-logged soils, lack of bedding, soil-like fracture, and gradation into normally bedded sedimentary rocks indicating that they were once soils. Coarse-grained seat rocks range from argillaceous to nearly pure quartz sandstone (ganister). Seat rocks...
Geophysical study of subsurface structure in southern Owens Valley, California
M. F. Kane, L.C. Pakisek
1961, Geophysics (26) 12-26
Gravity and seismic measurements in southern Owens Valley, California, have outlined a deep subsurface trough, bounded throughout the greater part of its length by steep faults. Depths to the bedrock floor along the central part of the valley range from 3,000 to 9,000 ft below the surface. The subsurface trough is divided into...
Paleomagnetism
Richard R. Doell, Allan Cox
1961, Advances in Geophysics (8) 221-313
This chapter highlights the ways in which rocks become magnetized. It also interprets paleomagnetic results in terms of the theories of polar wandering, continental drift, and an expanding Earth. The chapter describes the salient characteristics and trends of the geomagnetic field during the period of direct observation. Several questions are...

Age measurements from a part of the Brazilian shield
Norman Herz, P.M. Hurley, W.H. Pinson, H.W. Fairbairn
1961, Geological Society of America Bulletin (72) 1111-1119
Potassium-argon determinations on micas from Precambrian granitic rocks of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais, Brazil, suggest three ages of intrusion: 2400 m.y. determined from gneiss within the Bação complex; 1350 m.y. from rocks in the northern part of the Bação complex and also in a region 7 km north of nearest known...
Reconnaissance study of quaternary faults in and south of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
D. Love
1961, Geological Society of America Bulletin (72) 1749-1764
Normal faults offset a bedrock surface scoured by Pleistocene ice in several areas within and south of Yellowstone National Park. Recurrent earthquake shocks and fresh appearance of some scarps suggest that movement is continuing along some faults. Four systems of faults are described. Quaternary movement occurred along more than 60 faults on the Mirror Plateau, 15...
