West Texas samples

Cottonseed and seed hulls were obtained from two oil mills in West Texas and from one oil mill in California. Cottonseed samples were taken from the seedhouse, cleaning room and from the first, second and third-cut dellnter machines. Seed hulls and llnters were obtained from the hulling and baling areas respectively, of the same oil mills. 

Localization of GNB on Botanical Trash and Fiber. Leaflike, bark, and seed trash materials > 50 pm were removed by hand from light spotted 1976 raw cottons grown in West Texas. These botanical trash materials plus the lint minus gross trash and samples of the original raw cottons were analyzed for content of entrained... 

During the summer of 1997, water samples were collected and analyzed for herbicides from 32 Playa Lakes of the High Plains that receive drainage from both cotton and corn agriculture in West Texas (Figure 30.1). The major cotton herbicides detected in the water samples were diuron, fluometuron, metolachlor, norflurazon, and prometryn. Atrazine and propazine also were routinely detected in samples from the Playa Lakes. 

Starmera is found in almost every region and cactus type (Table 8.4). All of the taxa within the genus are distributed almost without overlap and are, for this reason, narrowly endemic species. Instances where only one strain in a locale was found on an unexpected cactus type have been ignored because there is variation in some of the key taxonomic physiological abilities and, in no case, had sequencing been done to corroborate the unexpected occurrence. The only exception to the no-overlap rule is that both S. pachycereana and S. amethionina are found on Opuntia in the Sonoran Desert and in West Texas. This overlap may occur on Opuntia because it is not the preferred host cactus for either species. Although more Opuntia rots have been sampled in the Sonoran Desert and West Texas than any other cactus type, S. amethionina has been isolated more often from Stenocereinae than Opuntia rots and S. pachycereana more often from Pachycereinae than Opuntia rots, so the overlap on Opuntia is not on the primary resource of either species. 

The column was then operated with total reflux on a cracked petroleum distillate obtained from a Winkler-West Texas crude oil. The liquid samples from the several plates in the column were then analyzed in a true-boiling-point still, being separated into components of 5°C. 

Our study was based on samples from 11 (Figure 1) 1000-foot core holes drilled in the Gulf of Mexico by four oil companies Humble, Chevron, Gulf, and Mobil. All cores are from the present continental slope within three morphological areas the Upper Continental Slope off Texas and Louisiana, the Upper Continental Slope off west Florida, and the upper reaches of the Mississippi Cone—a mass of sediment derived from drainage of the Mississippi River which has locally buried the continental-slope morphology.

Given that we can use only the upper 3% of the data and the scale of Figure 3.1, only a few observations can be made regarding the distribution of Mo. Most of the occurrences represent a small number of samples, or occasionally just one sample, reported to have elevated amounts of Mo. The most prominent example is the bull s-eye in west central Texas that represents one sample in a sparsely sampled area. In contrast, the smaller bull s-eye in northern New Mexico contains 13 closely spaced samples in the vicinity of the Questa Mo porphyry deposit. Other similar... 

Fig. 18. 23 This small rock sample was collected on January 18, 1982 by Ian WhiUans and John Schutt on the Middle-Western ice field on the East Antarctic ice sheet west of the Allan HiUs. It was subsequently identified as a lunar rock by scientists at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, and was assigned the identifying number ALHA 81005. The rock contains fragments of coarse-grained plagioclase feldspar in a fine-grained black matrix and has been described as an anorthosite breccia from the highlands of the Moon.

Solidago nemoralis is a plant which grows from Quebec to the North-West Territory, south to Florida and west to Texas and Arizona. A sample of the oil obtained from this species was examined by Schimmel Co. It was bright olive-green in colour, and had a peculiar odour, reminding somewhat of cypress oil. It bad a specific gravity 0 8799, optical rotation - 23 10, ester number 14 4, ester number after acetylation 38 2, and formed a cloudy solution in about seven or more volumes of 95 per cent, alcohol.
