Abstract

Following successful tests of a specially constructed shallow reflection seismograph in early 1954, new experimental work has been conducted on the Colorado Plateau, in the Upper Mississippi Valley zinc-lead district, and in Portage County, Ohio. Although reflections were recorded in all of these areas, they were not continuous and correlatable on the Colorado Plateau and in the Upper Mississippi Valley. In Ohio, on the other hand, reflections were recorded from horizons within the Pleistocene overburden as well as from bedrock and horizons within the consolidated rock section. Conditions favoring good reflections are similar for both shallow- and deep-reflection work; they differ only in scale.
