Geomagnetic polarity event recorded at 1.1 m.y. B.P. on Cobb Mountain, Clear Lake volcanic field, California Geomagnetic polarity event recorded at 1.1 m.y. B.P. on Cobb Mountain, Clear Lake volcanic field, California

Paleomagnetic studies show that a normal polarity event within the Matuyama reversed polarity epoch is recorded by one of the volcanic units on Cobb Mountain in northern California. K-Ar age determinations show that this event has an age of 1.12 ± 0.02 m.y. and clearly preceded the Jaramillo normal polarity event. These data provide the first confirmation from a subaerial volcano that a...

Significance of Mesozoic radiolarians from the pre-Nevadan rocks of the southern Klamath Mountains, California Significance of Mesozoic radiolarians from the pre-Nevadan rocks of the southern Klamath Mountains, California

Ribbon cherts and siliceous tuffs of the North Fork and Rattlesnake Creek terranes of the Klamath Mountains yield Mesozoic radiolarians. Rocks of the North Fork terrane were previously considered to be of Paleozoic age and those of the Rattlesnake Creek to be of Paleozoic and Triassic age, on the basis of fossiliferous limestone bodies that are now considered to be exotic blocks. In both...

Report of status of Reactor Hazards Research Program: fiscal years 1976-1977 Report of status of Reactor Hazards Research Program: fiscal years 1976-1977

The Reactor Hazards Research Program is a Geological Survey program directed at expediting the safe siting and design of power reactors in the United States through topical and regional work on major geological hazards, particularly faulting, earthquake shaking, volcanism, and gross failure of foundation materials (table 1). It is complimentary to the more directed research sponsored by...
