A New Species Of Menoceras From The Marsland Formation Of Nebraska, Lloyd G. Tanner
A New Species Of Menoceras From The Marsland Formation Of Nebraska, Lloyd G. Tanner
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Further study indicates that the Menoceras remains collected from the "Bridgeport Quarries" (lower port:on or the Marsland Formation, Middle Miocene, of the Hemingford Group) are of a new species.
In 1962, these dicerathere remains were considered to be a geologic variety of Diceratherium niobrarensis (Stecher, Schultz, and Tanner). However, later (Tanner, 1969) a generic distinction was revived, separating the Menoceras Troxell from Diceratherium Marsh. Diceretherium niobrarensis was then placed in synonymy with Menoceras arikarense (Barbour).
The new species is an intermediate between Menoceras arikarense (Barbour) from the Harrison Formation and Menoceras marslandensis Tanner, from the upper portion of the Marsland …
Two Lynx-Like Cats From The Pliocene And Pleistocene, C. Bertrand Schultz, Larry D. Martin
Two Lynx-Like Cats From The Pliocene And Pleistocene, C. Bertrand Schultz, Larry D. Martin
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
A new species (Lynx stouti) of small felid is described from the lower Pliocene of Colorado. This form has several characters in common with the modern Lynx and may be ancestral to that genus. A new subspecies of Lynx issiodorensis Croizet and Jobert is described as L. i. kurteni from the Mullen Assemblage, Cherry County, Nebraska. The relationships of this form to other lynxes are discussed along with the paleo-distribution of the genus.
The classification of the felinae has always been somewhat controversial, especially at the generic level. One fairly homogenous group of cats which has been separated …

Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Southwest Nacimiento Range, Sandoval County, New Mexico, Otto L. Schumacher
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The mapped area is in Sandoval County, New Mexico, 4 miles east of La Ventana. Precambrian rocks in the core of the Nacimiento uplift in this area consist mainly of quartz monzonite gneiss which has been intruded by granite. Hornblende schist xenoliths, zones of sheared quartz-plagioclase schistose gneiss, and mafic and leucocratic dike rocks are less abundant. Strata totaling 6200 feet, ranging from the Pennsylvanian Madera Formation through the Cretaceous Mancos Formation, are exposed in the area. Overlying the marine Madera Formation is 3400 feet of continental, marginal marine, and evaporite deposits consisting in ascending order of the Permian Abo, …
Phyletic Trends In Certain Lineages Of Quaternary Mammals, C. Bertrand Schultz, Lloyd G. Tanner, Lary D. Martin
Phyletic Trends In Certain Lineages Of Quaternary Mammals, C. Bertrand Schultz, Lloyd G. Tanner, Lary D. Martin
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
Evolutionary trends in certain carnivores, rodents, bovids, and proboscideans are examined. Chronoclines are demonstrated for muskrats, beavers, mammoths, and bison. The Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary and Quaternary climatic fluctuations are also discussed.
The University of Nebraska State Museum contains a large stratigraphically controlled collection of Pleistocene animals. This collection provides a unique opportunity for the study of phyletic trends in certain lineages of mammals. Although a few phylogenetic lineages have been proposed (Schultz and Frankforter, 1946; Hibbard, et al., 1965), this has not been done for the vast majority of Pleistocene mammals. However, there is much more data available than this would …

Structural Geology Of The Northern Part Of The East Helena Quadrangle, Lewis And Clark County, Montana., Jon A. Durham
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The map-area is located along the northwest flank of the Big Belt Mountains, Montana and includes the Eldorado thrust which marks the zone of frontal breakthrough where thrusts of the Cordilleran foldbelt are in contact with the Rocky Mountain foreland. Sedimentary rocks range in age from Precambrian to Cretaceous. Two formations of the Precambrian Belt Series, the Greyson Shale (Oldest) and Spokane Shale are present. Overlaying the Spokane Shale are five formations of the Cambrian; Flathead Quartzite (oldest), Wolsey Shale, Meagher Limestone, Park Shale, and Pilgrim Limestone. Their total aggregate thickness is about 1200 feet.
A Geochemical Study Of Distribution Of Elements In Ores And Limestones From New Jersey Zinc Mines, Hanover, New Mexico, Dasharatham Sayala
A Geochemical Study Of Distribution Of Elements In Ores And Limestones From New Jersey Zinc Mines, Hanover, New Mexico, Dasharatham Sayala
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
Limestone samples (424) from both surface and subsurface horizons in the New Jersey Zinc mines at Hanover have been analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry for Ag, Cd, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu and Sn. The leadzinc ore bodies, occurring in Paleozoic limestones are a typical example of hydrothermal deposits; and are related to the Hanover intrusive. The distribution of trace elements in surface limestones was mainly due to primary dispersion, partly due to secondary dispersion. The depth of ore mineralization, concentration of element in ore solutions, porosity of limestones, diffusion coefficients of element, and the chemical nature of elements in the …
The Microtine Rodents Of The Mullen Assemblage From The Pleistocene Of North Central Nebraska, Larry D. Martin
The Microtine Rodents Of The Mullen Assemblage From The Pleistocene Of North Central Nebraska, Larry D. Martin
Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum
The University of Nebraska State Museum has had an active collecting program in Hooker and Cherry counties, Nebraska, since the 1930's. The following University of Nebraska State Museum collecting localities have been extensively excavated: Cr-10, Cr-102, Cr-11, Ho-101, Ho-102, and Ho-103. These localities have produced a large vertebrate fauna described by Jakway as the Mullen Local Fauna which he considered for the most part to be Early lllinoian. Further study of this local fauna now demonstrates that assemblage does include Early as well as Middle Pleistocene animals. The purpose of this paper is to report on the evidence regarding the …
Tertiary Igneous Rocks Of Northeastern Cache Valley, Idaho, Parry D. Willard
Tertiary Igneous Rocks Of Northeastern Cache Valley, Idaho, Parry D. Willard
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The tuffs and limestones of the Tertiary Salt Lake Formation in northeastern Cache Valley, Franklin County, Idaho, are intruded by basic and intermediate igneous dikes and sills. The Tertiary intrusives are exposed in an area 10 miles long and 2 miles wide between Bear River and Maple Creek in the foothills of the Bear River Range east of Preston, Idaho. They trend north-northwest. The intrusives are mostly diabase but include a small body of syenodiorite and several small andesite dikes. The intrusives seem to be emplaced along early Basin and Range faults. They are limited to the Cache Valley Member …
Geology Of The Wildcat Hills, Utah, Ronald C. Howes
Geology Of The Wildcat Hills, Utah, Ronald C. Howes
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The Wildcat Hills, located in Curlew Valley of northwestern Utah, are composed of a series of late Tertiary extrusive and dike rocks. Five volcanic rock types have been identified: an andesite, a rhyolite, a perlite, a basalt, and a welded tuff. Hydration of obsidian pellets contained in the flows has produced some of the perlite. Diatremes in the andesite attest to the high-volatile content and the explosive extrusion of some of the lavas. A compound basalt neck indicates that basalt was extruded at the Wildcat Hills and is not an erosional remnant of the basalt flow from the base of …
Stratigraphy And Environmental Analysis Of The Swan Peak Formation And Eureka Quartzite, Northern Utah, George Gregory Francis
Stratigraphy And Environmental Analysis Of The Swan Peak Formation And Eureka Quartzite, Northern Utah, George Gregory Francis
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The Swan Peak Formation in north-central Utah thickens westward, from zero feet near Logan to 687 feet in the Promontory Range. The unit is subdivided into three distinct members: 1) A lower member of interbedded shales, limestones, and quartzites; 2) A middle member of interbedded shales and brown quartzites; and 3) An upper member of white quartzites. The Swan Peak thins southward toward the east-west-trending Tooele Arch in the area of study; this thinning probably reflects both lesser deposition and greater subsequent erosion there than elsewhere. The lower member in northern Utah probably was deposited in shallow-shelf and/or traditional shoreface-shelf …
Petrology Of The Ordovician Swan Peak Formation, Southeastern Idaho And North-Central Utah, Warren J. Schulingkamp Ii
Petrology Of The Ordovician Swan Peak Formation, Southeastern Idaho And North-Central Utah, Warren J. Schulingkamp Ii
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The Swan Peak Formation in southeastern Idaho and north-central Utah is a sedimentary unit consisting of orthoquartzite, sandstone, siltite, shale, and limestone. The formation is divisible into three members, and the lower two members each are divisible into two informal lithologic subunits.
The lower member consists of a lower subunit of gray, calcareous sandy siltite composed of subangular to subrounded quartz grains cemented by quartz overgrowths, calcite, or iron oxide, and an upper subunit of black shale with minor interbedded silty quartzose sandstone and biomicrite (limestone).
The middle member consists of a lower subunit of interbedded pale green shale and …

Petrology Of The Nemeiben Lake Ultramafic And Associated Nickel-Sulphide Deposits, Anantaramam Peddada
Petrology Of The Nemeiben Lake Ultramafic And Associated Nickel-Sulphide Deposits, Anantaramam Peddada
Geology Theses and Dissertations
The Nemeiben Lake ultramafic body is located in the center of Saskatchewan, Canada, within the Churchill Province of the Canadian Shield. The ultramafic rocks consist of serpentinites, partly serpentinized and uralitized pyroxenite, and unaltered pyroxenite. Associated sulphide mineralization is of disseminated, net texture, and fracture filling types. The ore minerals present are pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, marcasite, violarite, bravoite and native copper. The sulphides are considered to be initially of magmatic origin formed from a sulphide melt separated at a late stage during crystallization of the ultramafic rocks. Subsequent serpentinization has locally redistributed the ores.
Serpentinization in the Nemeiben Lake …

Bahamas Bibliography : A List Of Citations For Scientific, Engineering And Historical Articles Pertaining To The Bahama Islands, Carol Fang, W. Harrison
Reports
Specialized bibliographies are sometimes needed in connection with the research studies being pursued at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. The Bahamas Bibliography arose out of the needs of marine geologists, biologists and physical oceanographers engaged in studies of beaches, fishes and inlet currents in the Bahama Islands. Although the present bibliography may suffer from completeness, it significantly surpasses in number of citations the only other known bibliography of like kind.
Limnology Of Four Bauxite Open-Pit Lakes, George L. Harp, Ronald D. Hubbard
Limnology Of Four Bauxite Open-Pit Lakes, George L. Harp, Ronald D. Hubbard
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The aquatic flora and fauna and 18 physicochemical characteristics of four bauxite open-pit lakes were studied from September 1969 to August 1970. The least acid lake (pH 3.4-4.4) supported 49 different aquatic insects, plankton, and higher aquatic plants. The most acid lake (pH 2.7-3.2) supported only 26 different plants and animals. Bauxite open-pit lakes within the pH range studied appear to be as relatively unproductive as their coal strip-mine lake counterparts, with which they share physicochemical and biological characteristics. Benthic macrofaunal diversity and abundance appear to be related more closely to distribution and abundance of leaf detritus than to hydrogen-ion …

Inner Shelf Sediments Off Chesapeake Bay. I - General Lithology And Composition, Maynard M. Nichols
Reports
The sedimentary materials and bottom topography of more than 2400 square miles of the inner continental shelf floor north off the Chesapeake Bay entrance have been surveyed for potential mineral resources. Sediments consist of two principal types: (1) fine sand and (2) medium to coarse sand. The fine sand is grey-colored, subrounded, rich in quartz and relatively 11clean 11 and well sorted. The medium-coarse sand is typically iron-stained, rich in shell and poorly sorted. The fine sand covers inner parts of the shelf floor whereas medium to coarse sand covers seaward parts. Additionally, shell-rich medium to coarse sand occurs on …

A Paleomagnetic Reconnaissance Of The Platoro Caldera, Southeastern San Juan Mountains, Colorado, Jimmy F. Diehl
A Paleomagnetic Reconnaissance Of The Platoro Caldera, Southeastern San Juan Mountains, Colorado, Jimmy F. Diehl
WWU Graduate School Collection
Paleomagnetic results have been obtained from twenty-five sites in intrusive and extrusive units of Oligocene age from the Platoro caldera, southwestern Colorado, All specimens from each site were subjected to af demagnetization, and the reliability of each site thereby determined. Eighteen sites gave reliable results. Because six sites from the La Jara Canyon tuff appear to have become magnetized during the same small interval of geologic time, their results were combined and their mean pole and direction used in the final calculations. The thirteen remaining reliable sites yielded a paleomagnetic pole at 84.5°N and 306.5°E (o< = 12.9°, k = 11.2). Site-mean directions have an angular standard deviation of 18°, which is considerably greater than the dispersion predicted by models based on the present geomagnetic field but consistent with results from Late Tertiary and Quaternary studies. Because site-mean directions and site poles both have Fisherian distribution, it is not possible to determine whether dipole wobble or random fluctuation caused by a changing non-dipole field could be the cause of the geomagnetic secular variation during the Oligocene; probably both contribute. Interpretations based on mid-Tertiary paleomagnetic poles are consistent with those derived from sea-floor magnetic anomaly patterns, and possibly indicate that some true polar wandering has occurred since the mid-Tertiary, Due to lack of resolution in potassium-argon dating, the polarity time-scale constructed from the Platoro caldera units can only be used as a guide for future paleomagnetic work and geological mapping in the area.
Biostratigraphy Of The Bilk Limestone (Permian), Northwestern Nevada, Erich Thomas
Biostratigraphy Of The Bilk Limestone (Permian), Northwestern Nevada, Erich Thomas
WWU Graduate School Collection
The Bilk Limestone (new manuscript name) described in this report is a carbonate sequence located in the Bilk Creek Mountains at the southernmost end of the Kings River Range (fig. 1), about 30 miles south of the town Denio in north-central Humboldt County, Nevada. This study investigates the biostratigraphy and general paleoecology of about 2900 feet of limestone of early to middle Permian (middle Wolfcampian to middle Leonardian) age. The limestone is interbedded with nodular chert and is considerably altered by faulting and fracturing with associated epigenetic dolomitization. The fossil content is varied, and in this report stress is placed …

On November 29, 1971, the Hamilton County Ground Water Con·servation District sponsored a meeting on groundwater management and regulation. The meeting was held at Aurora, Nebraska, and was designed for irrigators from groundwater conservation districts and county irrigation associations. Various men from state and federal agencies spoke about a variety of problems that a.re related to groundwater management. Two of the talks that were presented at the meeting are reproduced here, as is a discussion of the rules and regulations that relate to the use of groundwater in the state of Nebraska.
