Primary borates in playa deposits: Minerals of high hydration
Siegfried J. Muessig
1959, Economic Geology (54) 495-501
The primary borate minerals in nonmarine bedded borate deposits - those of the playa type, and their deformed derivatives - are the high hydrates. Both field and laboratory data indicate that the high hydrates are the borate minerals that form stable phases at the lowest temperatures: under the surface conditions...

An investigation of the geology and ground-water conditions in a part of southwestern Long Island, including the construction of 8 deep and 5 shallow test and observation wells, has been completed by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Nassau County Department of Public Works and the New York State Water Power and Control Commission.<span...
Geology and uranium-vanadium deposits of the slick rock district, San Miguel and Dolores counties, Colorado
D. R. Shawe, Norbert L. Archbold, G. C. Simmons
1959, Economic Geology (54) 395-415
Sedimentary rocks known in the Slick Rock district in southwestern Colorado range in age from Devonian (?) to Cretaceous, and aggregate about 13,000 feet in maximum thickness. Important uranium-vanadium production has come from deposits in the Salt Wash member of the Morrison formation of Late Jurassic age.The sedimentary rocks are gently folded in...
Ground-water provinces of India
George C. Taylor
1959, Economic Geology (54) 683-697
This paper gives a general resume of ground-water utilization and development and describes the occurrence of water in eight ground-water provinces of India. The paper is based in part on observations of the writer during 1951-55 and in part on earlier work of the Geological Survey of India. Ground water...
Plastic standards for geochemical prospecting
D. B. Hawkins, F. C. Canney, F. N. Ward
1959, Economic Geology (54) 738-744
Plastic standards for use in geochemical prospecting have been prepared by impregnating a clear thermosetting resin with different amounts of a stable dye or colored metal complex. The colored plastic is molded or subsequently milled into convenient shapes to form standards that are less bulky and more stable than the...

Fault zone along northern boundary of western Snake River Plain
H.E. Malde
1959, Science (130) 272-272
Gravity, seismic, and geologic studies indicate that at least 9000 ft of aggregate throw along a zone of northwest-trending, high-angle faults has displaced the western Snake River Plain downward relative to highlands on the north. At least 5000 ft of movement occurred between the early and middle Pliocene. Progressively diminishing...

Tritium and deuterium content of atmospheric hydrogen
F. Begemann, Irving Friedman
1959, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung A (14) 1024-1031
The tritium and deuterium content of 24 samples of atmospheric hydrogen collected at ground level near Buffalo. N.Y. (U.S.A.). Hamburg (Germany), and Nürnberg (Germany) during 1954 to 1956 was measured.At the beginning of 1954 the T/H-ratio was found to have been 9.18 · 10-14 i.e. about a factor of 10 higher...
Spectrophotometric study of the magnesium-bissalicylidene-ethylenediamine system
Frank Cuttitta, C. E. White
1959, Analytical Chemistry (31) 2087-2090
Magnesium reacts with bissali-cylene-ethylenediamine in N,N′-dimethylformamide to yield a yellow complex. A spectrophotometric study was made on the reaction as used for the determination of trace amounts of magnesium. Maximum absorbance was obtained at 355 mμ when the solution contained 0.25 ml. of 0.5M isobutylamine per 25-ml. volume. A complex...
Fluorometric study of the magnesium—Bissalicylidene-ethylenediamine aystem
C. E. White, Frank Cuttitta
1959, Analytical Chemistry (31) 2083-2087
Magnesium ions combine with bissalicylidene-ethylenediamine in slightly alkaline N,N′-dimethylformamide to form a highly fluorescent complex which serves for the determination of trace amounts of magnesium. The yellow complex fluoresces blue when irradiated with ultraviolet light. The chelate shows maximum fluorescence excitation at 355 mμ and has a fluorescence emission maximum...
The geochemistry of rhenium, with special reference to its occurrence in molybdenite
Michael Fleischer
1959, Economic Geology (54) 1406-1413
Little has been added to our knowledge of the geochemistry of Re since the work of Noddack and Noddack in 1931, except that many determinations have been published of the Re content of molybdenite, the only present source. These determinations, 150 in all, have been assembled. The Re content of...

Some phase relations in the hydrothermally altered rocks of porphyry copper deposits
Saville Cyrus Creasey
1959, Economic Geology (54) 351-373
The application of ACF and AKF diagrams to the hydrothermal alteration in porphyry Cu deposits aids in the recognition of the critical components, and the characteristic mineral phases permit the distinction of one alteration facies from another. The somewhat meager chemical and mineralogical data suggest...
Paper coal in Indiana
G.K. Guennel, R.C. Neavel
1959, Science (129) 1671-1672
The foliated, papery texture of the upper third of an 18-inch coal seam in a strip mine near Rockville, Indiana, is attributable to matted plant cuticle. The cuticles of pinnules, pinnae, and rachides resemble Sphenopteris bradfordii Arnold and thus differ from the lycopsid stem cuticles of the Russian paper coal....

Ion exchange in clays and other minerals
Dorothy Carroll

Ion exchange in clays and other minerals is dependent on the crystalline structure of the mineral and on the chemical composition of any solution in contact with the mineral. The structures of clay minerals and zeolites are briefly described to provide a background for the discussion of their ion-exchange reactions....

1959, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (88) 117-124
Sixteen strains of fish kidney disease bacterium were tested in vitro to determine their reaction to 34 therapeutic agents. On the basis of the results obtained ten of the drugs were employed in experimental therapy of kidney disease in eastern brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). Erythromycin at the rate of 100...
Studies on the life cycle of Apatemon gracilis pellucidus (Yamag)
G. L. Hoffman
1959, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (88) 96-99
A tetracotyliform metacercaria was found in the musculature of the brook stickleback (Eucalia inconstans). It is characterized by a tail‐like appendage on the cyst. The adult was reared in newly hatched chicks, and proved to be Apatemon gracilis pellucidus (Yamaguti, 1933). Attempts to infect snails, Physa, Stagnicola and Helisoma, were...
