  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The isotopic abundances of uranium and the radium activity ratios of eleven samples of uranium ore from the Colorado Plateau have been measured. No significant variation in the isotopic abundance of the uranium was noted; with'in the experimental error, the average U&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;235&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;/U&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;238&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;ratio is 137.7. There is a significant variation in the Ra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;226&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;/Ra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;223&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;activity ratios (0.048−0.143), which indicates a relatively recent alteration of the ore samples. The variations do not, however, explain the lead-uranium and lead-lead age discrepancies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
