Cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts from the Central Pacific Cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts from the Central Pacific
Ferromanganese crusts coat most hard substrates on seamounts, ridges, and plateaus in the centralPacific basin. Crusts from less than 2500 m water depth are rich in Mn, Co, Ni, Pb, and Pt. Samples we collected from the EEl of the Hawaiian, Johnston, Palmyra, and Marshall Islands are discussed. Necker Ridge in the Hawaiian EEl has the greatest average crust thickness of 4 em. The dominant...

Resource potential of the western North Atlantic Basin Resource potential of the western North Atlantic Basin
We here consider the petroleum resources only of the off shelf portion of the western North Atlantic Ocean. Very little information is available for this region; off the eastern United States, only four petroleum exploration holes have been drilled in one restricted area seaward of the shelf, off the Baltimore Canyon trough. However, by interpreting seismic reflection profiles and...

Morphology and age of fault scarps in the Rio Grande Rift, south-central Colorado Morphology and age of fault scarps in the Rio Grande Rift, south-central Colorado
Fault scarps in the Rio Grande rift of Colorado provide most of the evidence of paleoseismicity in the state, and are thus a major focus of assessments of earthquake hazards. Critical components of such assessments are the ages of past faulting events; age control is scarce and generally coarse for the Rio Grande rift in Colorado. Ages estimated from fault-scarp morphology are thus...

Cretaceous paleoceanography of the western North Atlantic Ocean Cretaceous paleoceanography of the western North Atlantic Ocean
In this paper we summarize available information on the Cretaceous lithostratigraphy and paleoceanography of the western North Atlantic. The data and some of our interpretations draw in large part on papers published in the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) volumes. We have attempted to cite relevant references when possible, but space limitations make it difficult to give proper credit...

A note on the relationships between organic matter and some geotechnical properties of a marine sediment A note on the relationships between organic matter and some geotechnical properties of a marine sediment
An analysis of the relationship between organic matter and liquid and plastic limits, and grain‐specific gravity of a marine sediment was accomplished by making a stepwise adjustment in the organic content of that sediment. The sample used was from Santa Barbara Basin (off southern California) and is typical of fine‐grained marine sediments: it is a clayey silt with a common suite of...

Rates of chemical weathering of rocks and minerals Rates of chemical weathering of rocks and minerals
Researchers in geomorphology, geochemistry, quaternary geology, soil science, and mineralogy will welcome this volume, the first to focus exclusively on rates of silicate chemical weathering. Consisting largely of previously unpublished data from six countries, the volume examines the latest experimental, modelling, and field results. New information is presented on topics of current...
