The Geology Of Miller Cove, Blount County, Tennessee, Charlie Alexander Tucker

Masters Theses

Introduction: Miller Cove is an elongated lowland lying in the northwest part of the Kinzel Springs Quadrangle, Blount County, Tennessee. The airline distance southeast of the town or Maryville is seven miles. The cove is seven miles long from northeast to southwest. Its maximum width is 1.5 miles. It is bordered on the northwest by narrow-crested Chilhowee Mountain and on the southeast by Miller Cove Mountain and Hurricane Mountain.


Mineral Composition In Relation To Particle Size For A Missouri Plastic Fire Clay, John Edward May Jan 1951

Mineral Composition In Relation To Particle Size For A Missouri Plastic Fire Clay, John Edward May

Masters Theses

"From the rather modest beginning of the refractory industry in Missouri prior to the Civil War, the industry has grown to challenge those of other states as the third largest producer of refractory clays and products in the United States. As Roberts (1950) points out, the development of the metallurgical and glass industries increased the demand for high grade refractory materials. A prominent factor in the development of the fire clays of Missouri was the discovery that flint clay could be mixed with the plastic or semi-plastic refractory clays to yield an excellent product. Perhaps the most important reason many …


A Stratigraphic Study Of Fusulinid Foraminifera In The Cherokee Group (Pennsylvanian) Of Western Missouri And Kansas, Ralph Orlansky Jan 1951

A Stratigraphic Study Of Fusulinid Foraminifera In The Cherokee Group (Pennsylvanian) Of Western Missouri And Kansas, Ralph Orlansky

Masters Theses

"Limestones or shaly limestones, from four stratigraphic levels in the Cherokee group (Desmoinesian series) of Missouri and Kansas, contain eight species and two varieties of fusulinid foraminifera, of which four species and two varieties are new, and one ophthalmidiid foraminiferal species (Hemigordius cf. regularis Plummer). The next to highest limestone (cap rock of the Fleming coal) is correlated with the Seahorne limestone of western Illinois, the Stonefort limestone of southern Illinois, and the Munterville limestone of Iowa. Hemigordius regularis, a limestone facies foraminifer apparently marks a correlatable interval in the Ardmore limestone. Descriptions of the fusulinids and the …


Geology And Mineralization Of The Jefferson Mine, Hardin County, Illinois, Robert Joe Cronk Jan 1951

Geology And Mineralization Of The Jefferson Mine, Hardin County, Illinois, Robert Joe Cronk

Masters Theses

"Purpose of the Investigation: The geology of the Jefferson Mine was mapped to determine the relationship of the two fluorspar veins exposed on the 260-foot level to the single vein on the 200-foot level to study the mineralogy and paragenesis of the ore, and to gain any other information that would lead to a better understanding of the fluorspar deposits"--Introduction, page 1.


Radiolaria From The Porters Creek Formation (Paleocene, Midway Group) Of Stoddard County, Missouri, Eldridge Sellers Middour Jan 1951

Radiolaria From The Porters Creek Formation (Paleocene, Midway Group) Of Stoddard County, Missouri, Eldridge Sellers Middour

Masters Theses

"Fossil Radiolaria are described and figured from the Porters Creek formation (Paleocene) of Ardeola, Stoddard County Missouri. This is the first detailed treatment of fossil radiolarians from the Gulf Coast area. Thirty-one species are described and figured, all believed to be new, belonging to twenty-four genera. Fifteen families are represented, ten referable to the Legion Spumellaria, five to the Legion Nassellaria. Stratigraphic descriptions or the section at Ardeola is presented, and a discussion of laboratory techniques is included"--Abstract, page 3.


Geology Of The North Half Of The Meramec Spring Quadrangle, Missouri, Harold Edward Mueller Jan 1951

Geology Of The North Half Of The Meramec Spring Quadrangle, Missouri, Harold Edward Mueller

Masters Theses

"The Ozark region is visited by many persons each year, and one of its popular tourist attractions is Meramec Spring. In recent years, with the advent of better roads and swifter means of transportation, visitors are coming to this beautiful spring in increasing numbers. For those who are geologists, this work will serve as a handy guide; for those who are laymen, this work may give a better understanding of the geologic events which have made this part of the Ozarks a place of scenic beauty. Mapping of the Meramec Spring Quadrangle will complete a program of geologic mapping of …
