Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Environmental Impact Statement: Appendix A: Geology And Seismology (Supplement), Walter A. Anderson, New England Division, United States Army Engineer Division

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project

The plan was prepared for a close working relationship between the evaluation teams and the immediate availability of geochemical and geophysical data to the geologic mapping team. Those samples determined in the field to be anomalously high in heavy metals by cold extractable procedures were sent to North American Laboratories where metal content determinations were made through: atomic absorption and spectrophotometry after hot acid digestion techniques.

High-Carbonate And Low-Silica Stone In The High Bridge Group (Middle Ordovician), Fayette County, Central Kentucky, Garland R. Dever Jr. Jan 1980

High-Carbonate And Low-Silica Stone In The High Bridge Group (Middle Ordovician), Fayette County, Central Kentucky, Garland R. Dever Jr.

Information Circular--KGS

The High Bridge Group (Middle Ordovician) of central Kentucky, a major source of limestone and dolomite for construction and agricultural stone, is also a potential source of stone for industrial uses requiring carbonate rocks of high chemical purity. Chemical analyses of foot-by-foot samples from a Fayette County core show that several thick zones of high-carbonate and low-silica stone are present in the High Bridge at a minable depth.


Bibliography Of The Kentucky Geological Survey, 1839 Through 1978, Kentucky Geological Survey Jan 1980

Bibliography Of The Kentucky Geological Survey, 1839 Through 1978, Kentucky Geological Survey

Information Circular--KGS

It is the hope of the authors that all of the various publications and maps of the Kentucky Geological Survey are included in this bibliography. It is our intent to revise, supplement, and update the publication lists in "Geological Research in Kentucky" by Willard Rouse Jillson (1923).

During its history the Kentucky Geological Survey has suffered losses from two disastrous fires, one at Frankfort in 1929, and a second at Lexington in 1948. Many maps and some of the reports were reprinted after 1948 in Series VIII, but so many of the earlier publications were lost that they are now …


Ground Driven Powered Tillage, Larry G. Wells, E. M. Smith, D. E. Hammett, H. J. Thompson Jr. Jan 1980

Ground Driven Powered Tillage, Larry G. Wells, E. M. Smith, D. E. Hammett, H. J. Thompson Jr.

Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Faculty Publications

A ground driven powered tillage device is described which utilizes a passive rolling coulter propelled through the soil by a prime mover. The reaction torque imparted by the soil to the coulter is delivered via a torque transfer unit to a powered tillage blade. The tillage blade rotates counter to the direction of the passive rolling coulter and prepares a tilled furrow of some predetermined depth for seed placement and coverage.

Analysis is presented in which the torque developed by a passive rolling coulter engaging the soil is predicted. A relationship is presented for determining the velocity ratio between the …

Geology Of The Lewisporte/Loon Bay Area, Newfoundland, Canada, Richard F. Livaccari Jan 1980

Geology Of The Lewisporte/Loon Bay Area, Newfoundland, Canada, Richard F. Livaccari

Geology Theses and Dissertations

The Lewisporte/Loon Bay area is located within the Central Volcanic belt of Newfoundland. It contains rocks of (?)upper Cambrian to Ordovician in age. The most important group of rocks within this area is the three part Campbellton sequence. The oldest unit of the Campbellton sequence is the Loon Harbour Formation (500-1,000 m thick) composed of mafic volcaniclastics that is conformably overlain by manganiferous cherts of the Luscombe Formation. The Luscombe Formation (370 m thick) is composed of manganiferous cherts that grade upward into highly argillaceous chert. Conformably overlying the Luscombe Formation is the Riding Island greywacke that represents the uppermost …


Complex Structure And Stratigraphy Of Lower Slices Of The Taconic Allochthon Near Middle Granville, New York, David B. Rowley Jan 1980

Complex Structure And Stratigraphy Of Lower Slices Of The Taconic Allochthon Near Middle Granville, New York, David B. Rowley

Geology Theses and Dissertations

The Precambrian (?) to medial Ordovician rocks of the Taconic Allochthon are characterized by argillaceous and arenaceous sediments with lesser associated carbonates, carbonate breccias, and cherts of predominantly deep-water aspect. These allochthonous rocks tectonically overlie an autochthonous to parautochthonous coeval sequence of dominantly shallow marine clastics and carbonates of the Champlain and Vermont Valley sequences. Facies, thickness, sedimentologic, and paleontologic considerations suggest that these coeval sequences represent a carbonate shelf continental rise pair of the east-facing early Paleozoic Atlantic-type margin of North America. This margin formed by the opening of an ocean in latest Precambrian time. The stratigraphy of the …


Theoretical And Computer Assisted Studies In Tectonics, Structural Geology And Isotope Dating, Richard Leigh Thiessen Jan 1980

Theoretical And Computer Assisted Studies In Tectonics, Structural Geology And Isotope Dating, Richard Leigh Thiessen

Geology Theses and Dissertations

Several problems in the fields of tectonics, structural geology and isotopic dating were examined and simplified using computer programs. These problems include the theory of refolding, refold applications to three mining areas, hotspots and their relationship to mantle convection systems and ionium dating of volcanic rocks. In the first study, it was shown that current refold classification schemes are inadequate and so modifications were suggested. Various other aspects of multiple generations of interfering folds were also examined. The ideas of refold theory were then applied to three mining areas, the Chisel Lake Ore Body of Manitoba, the Galena-Roubaix District of …


The Geology Of The Northern Part Of North Arm Massif, Bay Of Islands Ophiolite Complex, Newfoundland: With Application To Upper Oceanic Crust Lithology, Structure, And Genesis, Eric J. Rosencrantz Jan 1980

The Geology Of The Northern Part Of North Arm Massif, Bay Of Islands Ophiolite Complex, Newfoundland: With Application To Upper Oceanic Crust Lithology, Structure, And Genesis, Eric J. Rosencrantz

Geology Theses and Dissertations

Detailed mapping (1:15,800) of the northern half of North Arm Massif shows the area to be underlain with a complete, although thin, ophiolite assemblage consisting, from top to base, of basalts, sheeted diabase dikes, isotropic and layered gabbroic rocks, layered ultramafic rocks and harzburgite tectonite. The assemblage represents a preserved piece of Cambrian oceanic crust analogous to present-day oceanic crust. Sheeted dikes and isotropic gabbros comprise the majority of the rocks exposed, with this sequence at present flat-lying to gently warped into open, upright but nonsystematic folds. Basalts occupy a shallow discontinuous N-S trending trough within the west-central part of …


The Geology Of The Southern Part Of The North Arm Mountain Massif, Bay Of Islands Ophiolite Complex, Western Newfoundland With Application To Ophiolite Obduction And The Genesis Of The Plutonic Portions Of Oceanic Crust And Upper Mantle, John F. Casey Jan 1980

The Geology Of The Southern Part Of The North Arm Mountain Massif, Bay Of Islands Ophiolite Complex, Western Newfoundland With Application To Ophiolite Obduction And The Genesis Of The Plutonic Portions Of Oceanic Crust And Upper Mantle, John F. Casey

Geology Theses and Dissertations

The Bay of Islands Ophiolite Complex forms a discontinuous belt of highly allochthonous mafic and ultramafic massifs in southwestern Newfoundland. The North Arm Mountain Massif contains the only significant exposures of sedimentary rocks overlying the ophiolite and also contains the most extensive exposures of plutonic rocks in the Bay of Islands Complex. Mapping has shown that sedimentary rocks, here named the Crabb Brook Group, rest with a pronounced erosional unconformity on ophiolitic rocks. Lithologic,paleontologic, facies, structural, and tectonic relationships indicate that this Group was deposited on the back of the ophiolite allochthon as it was being obducted onto the early …


Saratoga: The Bubbles Of Reputation And Their Implications For An Embryonic Rift System In The Upper Hudson River Valley, James R. Young Jan 1980

Saratoga: The Bubbles Of Reputation And Their Implications For An Embryonic Rift System In The Upper Hudson River Valley, James R. Young

Geology Theses and Dissertations

Carbonated, alkaline, saline waters occur over a wide area in the upper Hudson River Valley approaching 1,000 square miles. Through the sampling (spring and fall) of 39 locations, half of which were hitherto unsampled, the waters are shown to be a complexly mixed system with at least five major components.
They are:
1) a gaseous phase consisting primarily of CO2;
2) a fluid (containing the dissolved CO2) possibly analogous to a metamorphic brine whose major chemistry is HCO3>Na>Cl;
3) formational waters of variably low salinities which may be the end products of progressive dilution of Paleozoic connate brines …

Structural Geology Of The Fort Miller, Schuylerville And Portions Of The Schaghticoke 7½' Quadrangles, Eastern New York, And Its Implications In Taconic Geology; And Experimental And Theoretical Studies Of Solution Transfer In Deforming Heterogeneous Systems, William P. Bosworth

Geology Theses and Dissertations

Stratigraphies previously proposed for the Taconic sequence of southern Washington County, eastern New York, have incorrectly defined and positioned lower Cambrian black slate units. The proper sequence of Cambrian (?) through Cambrian lithologies is (terminology from Jacobi, 1977): Bomoseen green wacke, Truthville green slate, Browns Pond black slate, Mettawee purple and green slate, and West Castleton and Hatch Hill black slates. This and the entire Taconic sequence is conformable within the western Giddings Brook slice. The detailed lithostratigraphy reported by Jacobi (1977) and Rowley (1980) in northern Washington County can be followed at least some 45 kilometers to the south …
