Survival and development of lake herring (Coregonus artedii) eggs at various incubation temperatures

Lake herring eggs stripped and fertilized from a local stock were incubated in a constant-flow incubator at constant temperatures ranging from 0 to 12.1° C. Rate of development, percentage survival, percentage of abnormal and normal hatching, and length of fry at hatching were determined. The average incubation time from fertilization to 50% hatch varied from 37 days at 9.9-10.3° C to 236 days at

Palynology of the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary in the northern Rocky Mountain and Mississippi Embayment regions

In both the Rocky Mountain and the Mississippi Embayment regions it is often difficult to distinguish Upper Cretaceous from lower Tertiary rocks on the basis of physical characteristics; the transition can be recognized with relative ease, however, on the basis of abrupt qualitative changes in plant microfossils. Many Cretaceous species vanish and new species appear in the Paleocene. In both regio

Biostratigraphy and dolomite porosity trends of the Lisburne Group

This preliminary study is based on measured and carefully collected sections of the Lisburne Group (fig. 1, sees. 1-29). The outcrops extend from Cape Lisburne (sec. 1) in the west to Egaksrak River (sec. 29) in northeastern Alaska and are used as the basic building blocks for the carbonate facies maps and the cross section. Lithologic and foraminifera samples were collected at 10-foot intervals a
