The Effects of Prolactin and Thyroxine on Tail Fin Height, Habitat Choice, and Forelimb Regeneration in the Adult Newt (Notophthalmus Viridescens)
(1979-01) Tassava, Roy A.; Kuenzli, Carl
Near maximum tail height of freshly collected adult male newts was maintained in the laboratory at 21.5°C by intraperitoneal injections of prolactin alone or by a combination of prolactin and thyroxine. Tail height of male newts at 5°C was also maintained with or without thyroxine treatment. Tail height decreased by over 40% when male newts at 21.5°C were given saline or thyroxine. Both male and female newts, after 1 week at 21.5°C laboratory conditions, begin to leave the water. This land habitat choice is enhanced somewhat by thyroxine but completely abolished by prolactin with or without thyroxine. In addition to effects on tail fin height and land-water choice, prolactin also enhanced limb regeneration rate of adult newts.
Descriptive Mineralogy of Pugh Quarry, Northwestern Ohio: Calcite, Dolomite and Fluorite
(1979-01) Parr, David F.; Chang, Luke L. Y.
Calcite is by far the most abundant mineral in the Devonian rocks at Pugh Quarry. The large crystals, from 5 mm to 10-15 cm long, are predominantly brown with wide variations in hue and intensity. The small crystals, smaller than 5 mm, range from colorless to gray-yellow to pale yellow. Both large and small crystals consist almost entirely of scalenohedral forms (dog-tooth spar habit). The most common and most easily recognized type of twinning in the large crystals is on the (0001) plane. Both dolomite and fluorite are minor minerals at Pugh Quarry, although fiuorite is found in all parts of the Quarry. Dolomite crystals occur as secondary encrusting material and are most common in vugs.

A History of the Department of Geology and Geography, Denison University, Granville, Ohio
(1979-01) Mahard, Richard H.
Instruction in geology, mineralogy and geography has gone on continuously at Denison University since 1836, five years after the founding of the school at Granville, Ohio. Outstanding instructors have been L. E. Hicks, Clarence Luther Herrick, W. G. Tight, Frank Carney, Kirtley Mather, and Frank J. Wright. These teachers were conspicuously successful in motivating and inspiring a large group of persons to pursue professional careers. An unusual number of graduates went on to achieve distinction at the national level.

A Brief History of the Ohio Geological Survey
(1979-01) Hansen, Michael C.; Collins, Horace R.
Since its inception in 1837, the Ohio Geological Survey has been the principal source of geologic information in and about Ohio. These data, gathered during a 141-year period under the direction of ten state geologists, constitute more than 30,000 printed pages and numerous maps describing and illustrating Ohio's geology and mineral resources. This information has, perhaps more than any other factor, been responsible for the development within the state of important industries that rely upon mineral commodities derived from Ohio's bedrock and glacial sediments. The Ohio Division of Geological Survey is the oldest natural resources agency in the state. During the 19th century the Survey was responsible for investigation of the flora, fauna, soils, and agriculture of Ohio in addition to the primary function of geologic studies. Investigative activities of the Survey were sporadic in the 19th century; major periods of activity were 1837-1838, 1869-1874, and 1882-1893. Since 1900 the Survey has been maintained on a continuous basis, although funding and staff size have remained characteristically modest. In 1949 the Ohio Geological Survey became one of the seven originally chartered divisions of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
