Coal In Nebraska, Roy V. Pepperberg Jan 1910

Coal In Nebraska, Roy V. Pepperberg

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Until February, 1906, Nebraska was termed "the state without a mine," and may still be called the state with but a single mine, and yet it would be impossible to tell how much prospecting has been done, or to estimate the number of thousands of dollars that have been spent in this state trying to develop paying mines from the thin beds of coal discovered throughout various parts of the state in the Carboniferous and Cretadeous formations.

The Sand And Gravel Resources And Industries Of Nebraska, George Evart Condra

George E. Condra Publications

Sand and gravel are Nebraska's most important mineral resources. The extensive use which is made of these materials in the building and trade industries not only in our own but in adjoining states, is a factor of economic importance in the industrial development of Nebraska.


Skeletal Parts Of Moropus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1908

Skeletal Parts Of Moropus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

In the foregoing publication, it was announced that the skull of Moropus had been discovered. Heretofore the genus had been known chiefly by scattered teeth and fragments, mostly toe bones, but now that the collections of Hon. Charles H. Morrill, Nebraska State Museum, have the skeletal parts necessary for the restoration of this remarkable animal, it seems advisable to supplement the brief illustrated report concerning the skull of Moropus with a similar paper concerning its skeletal parts.


Tests Of The Strength Of Concrete Jan 1908

Tests Of The Strength Of Concrete

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Since the use of concrete is becoming so general it seems quite appropriate that the tests of concrete in which any Nebraska material forms a constituent part should be recorded where they may be obtained by those interested.. The following tests were made in the Testing Laboratory of the University of Nebraska, and though very limited in number may be expressive of the qualities of concrete mixed from these materials.


Evidence Of Loess Man In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour Jan 1907

Evidence Of Loess Man In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Unconsciously or otherwise an investigator is often influenced to see that which seems confirmatory rather than that which is contradictory to his conceptions and beliefs. But in conducting the search for evidence of human remains in the Pleistocene the writer has striven against this psychological tendency and has aimed to be severely critical and exact.

Biennial Report Work Of The State Geological Survey In Brief, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The Nebraska Geological Survey as now constituted has been in operation since 1891, but it has enjoyed state aid during the past four years only. Considering the size of the commonwealth and the limited appropriations for geological work, unusual progress has been made.
