Planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and correlation of the aquia formation in the type area, along the Potomac River, Virginia
… to the southeast (Gibson, et al. 1980), and a Pamunkey River locality 50 miles to the south (Seaton, 1982). This correlation shows equal thicknesses of the Aquia within zonal boundaries over the Potomac River - Oak Grove - Pamunkey River area, suggesting uniform rates of Aquia sedimentation in …

1863 Virginia: A short story
… people co-existed. The story follows Indi, a Pamunkey woman, and Abram – a self-liberated and formerly enslaved African man from White House plantation. Due to her tribe's Black Laws, Indi is exiled for giving birth to a child of a Black man. Abram loses the love of his life to his murderous …

Unsettling Stories: A Settler Reflection on Narrative Phantasies of Land
… Through an analysis of the 1843 Thomas Gregory-Pamunkey petitions over claims to the Pamunkey reservation land, this thesis studies how colonial and indigenous phantasies of land interact. It demonstrates that the colonial inability to recognize personal and cultural phantasies often leads to …

A methodology for assessing the feasibility of riparian-based irrigation systems
… The developed procedure was applied to the Pamunkey River area in Eastern Virginia. Projections on cumulative irrigated acreage, pumping capacity, and seasonal water use were produced.

Genetic evaluation of American shad Alosa sapidissima restoration success in James River, Virginia
… of the James River American shad population with Pamunkey River origin larvae since 1994 has impacted genetic diversity and population structure. Population genetic parameters of other major Chesapeake Bay tributaries (Susquehanna, Rappahannock, Potomac, and Nanticoke) also were characterized. …

CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROSATELLITE LOCI AND PILOT POPULATION GENETIC ANALYSIS IN HICKORY SHAD, ALOSA MEDIOCRIS
… Chickahominy Rivers), Rappahannock River, and Pamunkey River. Genetic variation was extremely low. Estimates of observed heterozygosity were lower than expected heterozygosity. Significant population structure was detected among the six samples (FST = 0.093, p = 0.01). Effective population …

Ostracodes of the Piney Point formation (middle eocene) of Virginia
… was recently discovered in outcrop along the Pamunkey River on the Virginia Coastal Plain (Ward, in ms.). The ostracode fauna of this unit is diverse and well preserved, and is here identified and described for the first time. It is composed of forty-five species of Ostracoda, twelve having …

Foraminiferal biostratigraphy and paleoecology of the Aquia Formation near Hanover, Virginia
… are abrupt changes in the course of the Pamunkey River. These data suggests faulting in the study area analogous to the faulted Coastal Plain strata near Fredericksburg, Virginia (Mixon and Newell, 1978),

A Comparison of Recruitment Strategies Among Brachyuran Crustacean Megalopae of the York River, Lower Chesapeake Bay and Adjacent Shelf Waters
<p>Twenty-one stations forming a transect of the Pamunkey River, York River, lower Chesapeake Bay and adjacent coastal waters were sampled from July through September 1980. The megalopa stages of 11 brachyuran species were sampled. Vertical and horizontal distributions are described for each …

Migratory patterns of American shad (Alosa sapidissima) revealed by natural geochemical tags in otoliths
… from the Mattaponi River and 21% from the Pamunkey River. The results suggested that while most American shad home to their natal river there is less fidelity to individual tributaries, allowing subsidies to subpopulations with persistent recruitment failure. Otolith signatures were also …

Tertiary dinoflagellate, acritarch, and chlorophyte assemblages from the Oak Grove Core, Virginia Coastal Plain
… Nanjemoy Formations (Paleocene to Eocene) of the Pamunkey Group and the Calvert and Choptank Formations (Miocene) of the Chesapeake Group. The assemblages are composed of 176 dinoflagellate species and subspecies (82 genera), of which 20 species and subspecies and one combination are new; five …

Clay mineralogy of sediments and source materials in the York River tributary basin
… in all sediment samples of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey tributaries and its reflections become more intense in the lower part of the system. Montmorillonite occurs in more than 86 per cent of the sediments of the Coastal Plain portion of the system. Mixed-layer clay minerals become less frequent …
