Tidal bore of about 1.5m amplitude: marks low tide in Turnagain Arm, Cook Inlet Region, Alaska. The bore is moving from right to left, followed by the flood tide. n.d. Cook Inlet Region, Alaska. Portion published as Figure 1, in U.S. Geological Survey, Circular 1022. 1988.

Complex wavefront of the Turnagain Arm bore. The bore is moving from right to left and is followed by flood tide. Photograph taken from airplane at approximately 100 ft. altitude, n.d. Cook Inlet Region, Alaska. Portion published as Figure 6 in U.S. Geological Survey, Circular 1022. 1988.

Quartz overgrowths on sandstone grains after clay formation, Nanushuk Group. Quartzose grains have overgrowths at points of low pressure (pore space) adjeacent to areas that were probably under high pressure (grain contacts). Overgrowths probably develop where clay coatings are absent. A polycrystalline quartz grain (upper left) has a pod of kaolinite growing on its surface. Sample 78ACh23, Kurupa anticline; magnification, 6.3 x 10, photomicrograph. Central North Slope, Alaska. Published as Figure 47A in U.S. Geological Survey. Bulletin 1614. 1985.

Quartzone sandstone from the Nanushuk Group, having abundant quartz-overgrowth development. Sample 78ACh25, Marmot syncline. Quartz cement migrated from the monocrystalline quartz grain into the adjacent polycrystalline quartz grain, which has been corroded. Polarized light. Magnification, 6.3 x 10, photomicrographs. Central North Slope, Alaska. Published as Figure 48D in U.S. Geological Survey. Bulletin 1614. 1985.
