Us Department of the Interior U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Digital Geologic Map Database of the Nevada Test Site Area, Nevada By Ronald R. Wahl1, David A. Sawyer1, Scott A. Minor1, Michael D. Carr4, James C. Cole1, WC Swadley1, Randell J. Laczniak2, Richard G. Warren3, Katryn S. Green1, and Colin M. Engle1 Open-File Report 97-140 This map is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although these data have been used by the U.S. Geological Survey and have been successfully imported into the data base programs, no warranty expressed or implied, is made by the USGS as to how successfully or accurately the data can be imported into any specific application software running on any specific hardware platform. The fact of distribution shall not constitute any such warranty, and no responsibility is assumed by the USGS in connection thereby. 1 Denver, Colorado 2Las Vegas, Nevada 3Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico 4Menlo Park, California 1997 INTRODUCTION Work on geologic compilation of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) map and Pahute Mesa 30' x 60' quadrangle was conceptually proposed in 1984 as part of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) programmatic initiative to conduct a geologic synthesis of the southern Great Basin in Nevada. One of the central objectives of the program was to compile the geology of four contiguous l:100,000-scale, 30' x 60' minute quadrangles that cover the region of interest (Pahute Mesa, Beatty, Pahranagat Range, and Indian Springs quadrangles), and to produce a separate 1:100,000-scale geologic map of the NTS that overlaps all four quadrangles. Digital compilation of the Pahute Mesa quadrangle began in 1990, with support coming entirely from the USGS Radioactive Waste Program. Work on the digital compilation of the NTS has largely been funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) NTS Program. Three of the other proposed 1:100,000-scale geologic maps have been completed, the NTS map (Frizzell and Shulters, 1990) and the Pahranagat Range quadrangle map (Jayko, in press), and the Beatty quadrangle map (Carr and others, 1995). A preliminary digital geologic map of the Pahute Mesa 30' x 60' quadrangle has been released (Minor and others, 1993), and a preliminary version of this map was released (Sawyer and others, 1995). A derivative map by Minor and others, 1996 was made from this database to portray the seismicity of the Pahute Mesa 30' x 60' quadrangle. The Nevada Test Site/Pahute Mesa/Beatty digital geologic map database allows for accurate and rapid updating of geologic information, generation of derivative maps at various scales, and layering with other Geographic Information System (GIS) databases and thematic map layers to produce integrated interpretive maps and 3-D models. The digital database is available, in Geographic Resource Analysis Support System (GRASS) ASCII vector, DLG-3 (optional), SDTS, and in Arc/Info ASCII (Generate) and export formats, from the USGS, Denver, on-line repository on Internet (via 'anonymous ftp') at greenwood.cr.usgs.gov [136.177.21.122], path (/pub/open-file-reports/ofr-97-140). Figure 1 shows the area of coverage for this database. COMPILATION METHODS This map database incorporates geologic data from the following sources): (1) digitized (by SCITEX scan) polygon, fault, and structural attitude layers of the published 1:100,000-scale geologic map of the Nevada Test Site (Frizzell and Shulters, 1990) as a starting point; (2) the digital 1:100,000-scale geologic compilation of the Pahute Mesa 30' by 60' quadrangle (Minor and others, 1993); (3) the digital database compilation of the NTS by Sawyer and others (1995), (4) the digital 1:100,000-scale geologic compilation of the Beatty 30' by 60' quadrangle (Carr and others, 1995); ), (5) the preliminary digital 1:100,000-scale geologic compilation of the Indian Springs 30' by 60' quadrangle (unpublished data); and (6) recent field studies of stratigraphy and structure by the authors and others (Figure 2a). Sawyer was lead compiler for the NTS part of the combined database; Minor was lead compiler of the Pahute Mesa sheet outside of the NTS area; Carr was lead compiler of the 117* 116*30' lie* STONEWALLMTW 57*30' VOLCANIC SILENT CANY CALDE COMPLEX BLACK WIN CALDERA TIM8ER\MTN.

The central Kenya peralkaline province: Insights into the evolution of peralkaline salic magmas R. Macdonalda, and B. Scailletb aEnvironment Centre, Lancaster University, Lancaster LA1 4YQ, UK bISTO-CNRS, 1a rue de la Férollerie, 45071 Orléans cedex 2, France Abstract The central Kenya peralkaline province comprises five young (< 1 Ma) volcanic complexes dominated by peralkaline trachytes and rhyolites. The geological and geochemical evolution of each complex is described and issues related to the development of peralkalinity in salic magmas are highlighted. The peralkaline trachytes may have formed by fractionation of basaltic magma via metaluminous trachyte and in turn generated pantellerite by the same mechanism. Comenditic rhyolites are thought to have formed by volatile-induced crustal anatexis and may themselves have been parental to pantelleritic melts by crystal fractionation.

    Oklahoma Native Plant Record 65 Volume 10, December 2010 FOUR WESTERN CHEILANTHOID FERNS IN OKLAHOMA Bruce A. Smith McLoud High School McLoud, Oklahoma 74851 Keywords: arid, distribution, habitat, key ABSTRACT The diversity of ferns in some of the more arid climates of western Oklahoma is surprising. This article examines four Oklahoma cheilanthoid ferns: Astrolepis integerrima, Cheilanthes wootonii, Notholaena standleyi, and Pellaea wrightiana. With the exceptions of A. integerrima and P. wrightiana which occur in Alabama and North Carolina respectively, all four species reach their eastern limits of distribution in Oklahoma. Included in this article are common names, synonyms, brief descriptions, distinguishing characteristics, U.S. and Oklahoma distribution, habitat information, state abundance, and a dichotomous key to selected cheilanthoids. The Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory has determined that all but one (N. standleyi) are species of concern in the state. INTRODUCTION of eastern Oklahoma, while most members of the Pteridaceae occur in Almost half of the ferns in the family western Oklahoma (Taylor & Taylor Pteridaceae are xeric adapted ferns.

The belt includes three felsic shield volcanoes, the Rainbow, Ilgachuz and Itcha ranges as its most notable features, as well as regionally extensive cone fields, lava flows, dyke swarms and a pluton. Volcanic activity took place periodically from the Late Miocene to the Holocene.

  • Overview of Water and Related Resources Part 2
    Overview of Water and Related Resources Part 2 Natural Resource & Socioeconomic Characteristics n almost endless array of environmental and socioeconomic characteristics -- including climate, geography, geology, minerals, soils, agriculture, wildlife, recreation, archeology, commerce population and employment -- which affect the current and future availability and use of Oklahomas surface and groundwater supplies. A CLIMATE Climate, along with geography, has a profound influence on water resources and hydrologic characteristics in Oklahoma, which lies across two divergent climatic regions. The states relatively long distance from the moderating effect of the oceans and an absence of mountains to the north often allows cold arctic winds to reach Oklahoma during the winter, which is normally short and mild. In the spring, large thunderstorms develop when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico converges with colder northern, humid eastern and dry western air masses, often producing tornadoes and large hail. Summers in Oklahoma are usually long and hot, punctuated by droughts of varying degree and duration. Fall, though often wet, normally features mild days and cool nights. May ranks as the wettest month while January is the driest. Annual rainfall (Figure 7) varies from more than 50 inches in the relatively warm and humid pine forests of the Ouachita Mountains in southeast Oklahoma to approximately 16 inches in the high plains of the western Panhandle where warm days and cool nights predomi- nate. The state-averaged precipitation is 33.5 inches. The temperatures in Oklahoma (Figure 8) vary from approximately 54 to 62 degrees Fahrenheit from west to east with a state average of 60.5 degrees.
