Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey publications on copper (to January 1, 1952)

Abstract

PURPOSE AND SCOPE This bibliography lists all publications on copper published prior to January 1, 1952. The reports are grouped by type of publication, such as professional papers, bulletins, monographs, and are numbered consecutively from 1 to 235. These numbers are used to refer to the reports in the subject and author indexes at the end of the bibliography. The subject index lists the publications alphabetically by location and topic, and the author index lists the reports by their authors. Unless otherwise indicated, publications for which prices are given can be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. Those preceded by an asterisk (*) are out of print but can be seen in many public and university libraries. Index Bull. No. No. (50) *225 Contributions to economic geology, 1903.

Distribution and mobility of selenium and other trace elements in shallow ground water of the western San Joaquin Valley, California

“…Samples collected at 18 wells and drainage sumps included in this study were analyzed for selenate and selenite (+4 valence) by Dr. Gregory Cutter at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. Selenate represented an average of 98 percent of the total dissolved selenium concentration in the samples. Selenium has been reported extensively in association with reduced metal sulfide minerals in marine sedimentary rocks (19,20), which are similar to Coast Range rocks. Low concentrations of selenium generally were reported for igneous rocks such as those of the Sierra Nevada (21).…”

“…Vanadium was reported in association with Cretaceous sedimentary marine rocks of the Central-Western United States (19,20) and granite and granodiorite rocks of the Southern California Batholith (30). Vanadium was detected in surface water that drains the Sierra Nevada (29) and in springs in the Coast Ranges (27).…”
