Seismic stratigraphic characteristics of upper Louisiana continental slope: an area east of Green Canyon Seismic stratigraphic characteristics of upper Louisiana continental slope: an area east of Green Canyon

A high-resolution seismic reflection survey was conducted in a small area of the upper Louisiana Continental Slope known as Green Canyon Area. This area includes tracts 427, 428, 471, 472, 515, and 516, that will be offered for sale in March 1982 as part of Lease Sale 67. The sea floor of this region is, slightly hummocky and is underlain by salt diapirs that are mantled by early...

Road log and documentary photographs for 15 significant biostratigraphic sites in Miocene-Pliocene limestone, Kingshill Seaway, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands Road log and documentary photographs for 15 significant biostratigraphic sites in Miocene-Pliocene limestone, Kingshill Seaway, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

Detailed examination of planktonic Foraminifera from the type section of the Miocene Kingshill Limestone and from 14 other Miocene and lower Pliocene limestone exposures in the Kingshill Seaway of St. Croix ((at 17°44' N., long 64° 46' W.; fig. 1) has led to the first publication of an in-depth biostratigraphic investigation of this area with application of the most up-to-date zonation...

Geochemical evidence for modern sediment accumulation on the continental shelf off southern New England Geochemical evidence for modern sediment accumulation on the continental shelf off southern New England

An area of fine-grained sediment approximately 170 km x 74 km in size, located in water depths between 60 m and 150 m, south of Martha's Vineyard, Mass., is a site of modern sediment deposition. The 14C ages systematically increase with sediment depth from about 1,300 years B.P. at the surface to 8,000-10,000 years B.P. at the depth of maximum core penetration. The old age for the...

East Pacific rise at 21°N: the volcanic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes of the central axis East Pacific rise at 21°N: the volcanic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes of the central axis

Photographs obtained by the ANGUS survey system at 21°N reveal many similarities to the geological processes delineated at other spreading centers and in particular those observed in the Galapagos Rift at 86°W. The region of recent volcanism is restricted to a narrow zone (Zone 1) approximately 1 km wide. This suggests that the width of the magma chamber feeding these flows is also...

Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: September 1981 Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: September 1981

The preliminary geomagnetic data included here is made available to scientific personnel and organizations, as part of a cooperative effort and on a data exchange basis because of the early need by some users. To avoid delay, all of the data is copied from original forms processed at the observatory; therefore it should be regarded as preliminary.
