Five stratigraphic sections in Grenada County were measured and described. Twenty-one sand and sandstone samples, and 2 mud samples were collected from all sections. Textural analyses were performed on all 23 samples to determine their lithologic properties. Petrographic descriptions and modal analyses were performed on thin sections made from the 21 sand and sandstone samples, and 400 grains were point counted in each sample.

  • Memorial to Charles Wythe Cooke 1887— 1971 VICTOR T
    Memorial to Charles Wythe Cooke 1887— 1971 VICTOR T. STRINGFIELD 4208 50 Street, NW„ Washington, D.C. 20016 The death of Dr. Charles Wythe Cooke in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Christmas Day 1971, ended his long and successful career as geologist, stratigrapher, and paleontologist. He is survived by his sister, Madge Lane Cooke. Cooke was born in Baltimore, Maryland, July 20, 1887. He was a bachelor. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Johns Hopkins University in 1908 and Ph.D. (in geology) in 1912. From 1911 to 1912 he was a Fellow at the university. In July 1910, while a grad­ uate student, he received an appointment as Junior Geologist for summer work in the U.S. Geological Survey, beginning his long career in that organization. In the U.S. Geological Survey, he was Assistant Geologist, 1913 to 1917; Paleontologist, 1917 to 1919; Associate Geologist, 1919 to 1920; Geologist, 1920 to 1928; Scientist, 1928 to 1941; Senior Scientist, 1941 to 1951; andGeologist-Stratigrapher-Paleontologist, 1952 to 1956. He served as research associate in the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C., from 1956 until his death. He was geologist in the Dominican Republic for the Geological Survey in 1919 and worked for the Tropical Oil Company, Colombia, South America, in 1920. After completing his 40 years of service in the U.S. Geological Survey, Cooke retired on November 30,1956. Also in 1956 he received the Meritorious Service Award of the Interior Department in recognition of his outstanding service. That citation in 1956 states: His scientific work lias been concerned with the paleontology, stratigraphy, and landforms (geomorphology) of the Coastal Plain, extending from New Jersey to Mississippi.

OXMXO- " FLUOR SPAR." Mined and Especially Manufactured by -^THE PEIUL MINING GOMPANY,^- ROSE CLARE, HARDIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS, For the immediate use of all Metal Workers , comprising Smelting and Refining Works, Brass and Copper Works, Car Wheel Works, Sewing Machine Works, Stove Works, Glass and Chemical Works, Agricultural Works, OR WHEREVER METAL OF ANY KIND IS SMELTED OR CASTINGS MADE. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Gentlemen : —Your close attention is earnestly invited to this new and powerful flux, endorsed by all chemists as the most searching and most favorable mineral ever discovered for the reduction and purification of metals. Our mines produce it in its purest state and without adulteration, and as it is only manufactured so as to be in the best condition for your use, we respectfully ask you to give it a trial. Kluor Spar, when exposed to heat, sends forth fumes of the most powerful fluxing, searching, purifying kind known to science, and these fumes, coming into contact with the silicates and impurities in metals, drives them out. Phosphorus and sulphur, that bllfjbear to all metals, is volatilized at once and passes off, leaving a clean, clear residue which flows without hindrance or obstruction until the last ounce of metal contained in the charge is withdrawn.

The Oconee Group is formally recognized in the Savannah River area and four South Carolina Formations not previously used in Georgia by the Georgia Geologic Survey are recognized in eastern Burke County. The Still Branch Sand is a new formation and the two new members are the Bennock Millpond Sand Member of the Still Branch Sand and the Blue Bluff Member of the Lisbon Formation. The four South Carolina formations recognized in eastern Burke CountY include the Steel Creek Formation and Snapp Formation of the Oconee Group, the Black Mingo Formation (undifferentiated), and the Congaree Formation. The Congaree Formation and Still Branch Sand are considered to be lithostratigraphic components of the Claiborne Group.

  • A Bibliography of American Foraminifera
    Cushman Laboratory for Foraminiferc SPECIAL PUBLICATION NO. 3 A Bibliography of American Foraminifera BY JOSEPH AUGUSTINE CUSHMAN, Ph. D. Lecturer in Micropalaeontology, Harvard University and Director, Cushman Laboratory for Foraminiferal Research SHARON, MASSACHUSETTS, U. S. A. DECEMBER, 1932 Price $1.10, post paid QL # « 368 r CD' A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN FORAMINIFERA By Joseph Augustine Cushman The intensive work now being done on the Foraminifera in America and the increasing amount of new literature appearing in scattered journals is the basis for the present bibliography. Primarily the object is to give to the worker on the Foramin- ifera reference to those papers which deal with American genera and species. Papers by American authors which are of a general nature and have no bearing on the faunas are not included. Also papers of a purely geological nature are usually left out unless they have included authentic names of foraminifera with localities or ranges. Numerous earlier works of an historic in- terest as giving the first records of foraminifera from a particu- lar region are included. These appear in the form in which they appeared in Sherborn's excellent Bibliography so that no con- fusion may result in comparing the titles. In order to be of more use to the specialist, one or more letters in bold type will be found at the end of each title, R=Recent; letters T=Tertiary; C=Cretaceous ; and P=Palaeozoic. These indicate the main scope of the paper. In some cases a single let- ter will be found where the paper covers more than one of these groups, but that one refers to the Afnerican records only.
