Sources of suspended matter in waters of the Middle Atlantic Bight Sources of suspended matter in waters of the Middle Atlantic Bight

Suspended matter collected in the Middle Atlantic Bight (the coastal segment of the United States between Cape Cod and Cape Hatteras) in September 1969 was predominantly organic: an average of 80% combustible organic matter in surface waters and 40)% near bottom. Total suspended concentrations decreased between the inner shelf and the shelf break by an order of magnitude in both near...

Geology of Bulgaria: A review Geology of Bulgaria: A review

Bulgaria is in southeastern Europe between reasonably well-described areas of predominantly Alpine crustal deformation on the north and northwest (Carpathians in Romania, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia; Alps in Austria), on the east (Pontides and Taurides in Turkey), and on the west and south (Dinaric Alps in Yugoslavia; Pindos Mountains in Greece) but has not been well described in easily...

Interstitial solutions and diagenesis in deeply buried marine sediments: Results from the Deep Sea Drilling Project Interstitial solutions and diagenesis in deeply buried marine sediments: Results from the Deep Sea Drilling Project

Through the Deep Sea Drilling Project samples of interstitial solutions of deeply buried marine sediments throughout the World Ocean have been obtained and analyzed. The studies have shown that in all but the most slowly deposited sediments pore fluids exhibit changes in composition upon burial. These changes can be grouped into a few consistent patterns that facilitate identification of...

Chemical analyses of Red Sea sediments Chemical analyses of Red Sea sediments

One of the prime motives for exploring the deeper subsurface sediments of the Red Sea floor was to gain information on the geochemical systems controlling the hot brine-metalliferous deposits. Accordingly, a strong effort was made to provide both shipboard and laboratory means of analysis of the recovered phases. Shipboard spectrographic analyses (semiquantitative) provided both detailed...

Red Sea geochemistry Red Sea geochemistry

The Red Sea drillings reveal a number of new facets of the hot-brine-metalliferous system and other geochemical aspects of the sea, its sediments, and its past history as follows: 1) Dark shales rich in organic material, and containing enhanced Mo and V concentrations, are characteristic of Plio-Pleistocene strata in the Red Sea. Values as high as 1500 ppm V and 500 ppm Mo were obtained...

Geophysical observations on northern part of Georges Bank and adjacent basins of Gulf of Maine Geophysical observations on northern part of Georges Bank and adjacent basins of Gulf of Maine

Continuous-seismic-reflection and magnetic-intensity profiles provide data for inferences about the geology of the northern part of Georges Bank and the basins of the Gulf of Maine adjacent to the bank. Basement is inferred to be mostly sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Paleozoic age that were metamorphosed and intruded locally by felsic and mafic plutons near the end of the Paleozoic...

Structure of the continental margin of Liberia, West Africa Structure of the continental margin of Liberia, West Africa

Geophysical surveys made by R/V Unitedgeo I (USGS–IDOE Cruise Leg 5), combined with earlier surveys and available geologic information, provide the basis for interpreting the structure of the continental margin of Liberia. This area lies at the junction of the Americas and Africa in published reconstructions of Gondwanaland prior to the opening of the North and South Atlantic in Jurassic...

Interstitial water studies on small core samples, Leg 22 Interstitial water studies on small core samples, Leg 22

Interstitial waters from Leg 22 in the Indian Ocean revealed two unique results: Site 214, on the Ninetyeast Ridge, penetrated through a 30-meter sequence of fine-grained basalt and reentered hard, silty clay containing carbonate skeletal debris. Such a basalt layer may well have been impervious and extensive enough to seal off underlying (fossil) seawater of Paleocene age. However...
