Sections showing biostratigraphy and correlation of Tertiary rocks penetrated in wells drilled on the southern Oregon continental margin

Geologic interpretation of seismic reflection profiles on the Continental Shelves of Oregon and Washington is measurably enhanced through the knowledge of Tertiary subsurface stratigraphy penetrated in 10 deep exploration wells drilled in the mid-1960's (Braislin and others, 1971; Snavely and others, 1977). These subsurface data make it possible to relate to the acoustic units differentiated on seismic-reflection profiles to time-stratigraphic units as determined from micropalentontological studies of samples collected from these wells. These biostratigraphic data also permit correlations between time-stratigraphic units in the offshore test wells and between those units and formations penetrated in onshore test wells, as well as strata that crop out in coastal Oregon and Washington.

Geology of the Santa Monica and San Pedro basins, California continental borderland

In the period 1964 to 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted various seismic reflection and rock-sampling cruises in the continental borderland of southern California. This map report, on two near-shore basins, the Santa Monica and the San Pedro (sheet 1, figs. 1 and 2), is based on data obtained during these surveys. The tracklines in these basins are shown on sheet 1, fig. 3. H. G. Greene, D. S. McCulloch, J. G. Vedder, R. F. Yerkes, and especially G. W. Moore kindly made available all seismic and sample data obtained on their cruises aboard the M/V OIL CITY, R/V POLARIS and R/V G. B. KELEZ during this period. The assistance of Capt. J. M. Cox on several cruises of the R/V KELEZ was particularly noteworthy. Micropaleontological determinations on offshore U.S. Geological Survey samples were made by David Bukry and R. E. Arnal. D. S. Mc-Culloch and J. G. Vedder made many helpful suggestions.

Preliminary report on the geology of the continental borderland of Southern California

Appraisal of the mineral resource potential and assessment of environmental problems of any specific area require an understanding of the regional geology. The geology of t he coastal zone and offshore islands from Point Conception to the Mexican boundary serves as a frame of reference from which rock units and structures can be extrapolated into submerged parts of the borderland (sheet 1). Such extrapolations should be used with caution, for the tectonic evolution and depositional history of parts of the borderland may not have paralleled those of the mainland. On shore, rocks and structures c an be observed directly with supplemental aid from deep drill holes; but in areas covered by deep water, only indirect techniques such as geophysical methods and shallow coring provide information from which geologic intepretations can be made.

Geology of anthracite in the southwestern part of the Mount Carmel quadrangle, Pennsylvania

This report is the second to be prepared as a result of a geologic investigation of the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania begun after consultation with the Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Surveys of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This report and others in preparation will show (1) the location of coal outcrops, (2) the depth, pitch, and other structural features of representative coal beds, (3) the natural and artificial barriers between mines and the structural relationships between the various coal basins, and (4) the correlation of the beds, the stratigraphic intervals between them, and the thickness, continuity, and other physical characteristics of the coal. The reports will bring up to date and amplify the Grand Atlas of the Anthracite Fields published by the Second Geological Survey of Pennsylvania in 1884-1885, and the reports that supplemented that atlas. It is expected that the reports will aid operators who are mining either on the surface or underground, or who are formulating plans for control of mine water. It is hoped that these reports will also direct attention to overlooked or unutilized reserves of coal. A preceding report described the west-central part of the Mount Carmel quadrangle (Rothrock et al., 1950) and it is planned to publish similar reports on other unit areas as they are completed.
