Fluorspar Fluorspar
Developments in the area of fluorspar in 1996 are reviewed. There was no reported mine production of fluorspar the U.S. in 1996, so domestic fluorspar requirements were satisfied by imports, sales from the National Defense Stockpile, and small amounts of synthetic fluorspar produced from industrial waste. The Defence Logistics Agency, consumption, imports, exports, markets, production of...

Impoundments were of three major designs: impounded ravines, excavated basins, and impounded swamps. Over 50 species of wetland plants were transplanted to impoundments of Patuxent to determine best species for relatively infertile waters...

Roadblocks on the kill curve: Testing the Raup hypothesis Roadblocks on the kill curve: Testing the Raup hypothesis
The documented presence of two large (~100-km diameter), possibly coeval impact craters of late Eocene age, requires modification of the impact-kill curve proposed by David M. Raup. Though the estimated meteorite size for each crater alone is large enough to have produced considerable global environmental stress, no horizons of mass mortality or pulsed extinction are known to be...
