Rim of main explosion crater Ludent

Rim of main explosion crater Ludent showing blocks which prevail here. The fragments are broken, not twisted, solid blocks of rocks thrown out when explosion occurred. August 4, 1960.

Rift valley

Rift valley. Experimental fault trough (graben). Mass of clay, slowly pulled apart, produces a web shaped fault trough (graben). Lateral extension (pull) due to uplift - thus subsiding graben may indicate uplift of the shield or continent (Rhine Valley, Red Sea). Cloos, 1954, p1. 44.

Rierdon formation

Rierdon formation, shales of Jurassic age to show outcrop of dipping beds. Southside of Zortman Butte, Little Rocky Mountains, Montana, May, 1964.

Reykir pumping station

Reykir pumping station for hot water supply. Operation started in 1943. Produces in 112 wells 350 litres per second at 86 degrees C. to supply 60% homes in Reykjavik, thus saving 65,000 tons of coal/year. August 1, 1960.

Restoration of Pleistocene Wooly Mammoth and Mastodon

Restoration of a Pleistocene mastodon (above) and a Pleistocene Woolly mammoth (below). A tooth of each is shown with a hand for scale. The crowned tooth of the mastodon was suitable for diet of twigs, branches and cones, whereas the infolded structure of the mammoth tooth was more adapted to a grass diet (Zumberge 1958, p. 362).

Residual local anomaly, et al.

Residual local anomaly, interpreted buried valley, cross section, and corresponding theoretical anomaly, central portion of traverse 1, T. 27, R. 23 W. 3. Low point of anomaly corresponds to trend on slide 124. (Hall and Hajnal, 1962)

Residual and transported mantles

Residual (A) and transported (B) mantles. (A) The mantle was derived from the underlying granite, and is therefore residual, (B) The mantle was deposited on the granite bedrock and is therefore transported. Zumberge, 1958, p.97.
