Chapter 6: Chronology of displacement on the San Andreas fault in central California: Evidence from reversed positions of exotic rock bodies near Parkfield, California
This chapter presents a synthesis of data pertaining to post-early Miocene slip on the San Andreas fault in central California and suggests a three-phase evolition of the San Andreas system. The cricial evidence that supports the three phases of evolution conies from the reversed positions of two exotic rock fragments in the vicinity of Parkfield, California. The three-phase evolution of the San A

A guide to continent-ocean transect E-1: Adirondacks to Georges Bank
The geologic strip-map for Transect E-l cuts a swath from the Thousand Islands region on the New York-Ontario border to the Atlantic Ocean floor off Georges Bank (see Fig. 1). It includes portions of New York, Ontario and of all of the New England states. The western part, mainly in New York, belongs to the North American craton. The remainder of the onland portion, east of Logan's Line, belongs t

A receptor binding assay applied to monitoring the neurotoxicity of parathion to Peromyscus after oral exposure
Many naturally occurring toxins, as well as pesticides, metals, and other compounds that occur in our environment from anthropogenic activities, stimulate or antagonize neuro-receptors to produce acute and/or chronic toxicities. Recent advances in laboratory instrumentation and the availability of a variety of radiolabeled ligands and type-specific drugs for numerous receptors make it possible to

An eolian facies in the Ste. Genevieve Limestone of southern Indiana
Cross-bedded oolitic grainstones in the Ste. Genevieve Limestone (Mississippian) of the Illinois basin have generally been considered to be shallow marine. However, fine- to medium-grained cross-bedded grainstones of mixed clast type in the Ste. Genevieve of Harrison County, southern Indiana, are here interpreted to be of eolian dune origin on the basis of small-scale sedimentary structures, parti
