Pyrite-uranium polycrystal
A.G. King
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 1012
A texture was observed in a sample of ore in 'Which pyrite and uraninite occurred as thin alternate layers paralleling crystal faces of a pyrite nucleus. This texture could be formed either by replacement or by syntaxis. Although syntactic growth forming polyerystals of two chemically dissimilar minerals has not been...
Uranium content and leachability of some igneous rocks and their geochemical significance
George J. Neuerburg, John C. Antweiler, Barrie H. Bieler
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 626
The uranium content and its leachability in 442 igneous rocks if wide variety were measured. Four-gram samples, crushed below 38 mesh, were leached in in 0.05 M HNO3 for half an hour at 80 to 85° C; the leachate and undissolved residue were analyzed fluorimetrically. This study explored the relation of...
Sub-glacial volcanic eruptions
Donald Edward White
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 1089
The literature on sub-glacial volcanic eruptions and the related flood phenomena has been reviewed as a minor part of the larger problem of convective and conductive heat transfer from intrusive magma. (See Lovering, 1955, for a review of the extensive literature on this subject.) This summary of data on sub-glacial...
Diatremes and craters attributed to natural explosions
Eugene Merle Shoemaker
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 1090
Diatremes - volcanic pipes attributed to explosion - and craters have been studied to infer the ultimate causes and physical conditions attending natural explosive processes. Initial piercement of diatremes on the Navajo reservation, Arizona was probably along a fracture propagated by a high-pressure aqueous fluid. Gas rising at high velocity along...

Comparison of the pebbles of the Shinarump and Moss Back members of the Chinle formation
Howard Franklin Albee
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 832
Lithology, color, size, sphericity, and roundness of pebbles from the Shinarurnp and Moss Back members of the Chinle formation were analyzed and compared. The difference in the quartz:quartzite:chert ratios of the pebbles, the presence of limestone and siltstone pebbles, and to a lesser degree,the difference in color of pebbles serve...
Temple Mountain member, a new member of the Chinle formation in the San Rafael Swell, Utah
Raymond C. Robeck
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 800
A lithologic unit, referred to as mottled purple and white, or the 'pinto bed,' in the San Rafael Swell has E?nough thickness and continuity to be formally named the Temple Mountain member of the Chinle formationo The member is characterized by the presence of: the interfingering of siltstone, mudstone, and...

Machine for preparing phosphors for the fluorimetric determination of uranium
R.E. Stevens, W. H. Wood, K. G. Goetz, C. A. Horr
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 578
The time saved by use of a machine for preparing many phosphors at one time increases the rate of productivity of the fluorimetric method for determining uranium. The machine prepares 18 phosphors at a time and eliminates the tedious and time-consuming step of preparing them by hand, while improving the precision...
An inferred relationship between some uranium deposits and calcium carbonate cement in southern Black Hills, South Dakota
Garland B. Gott
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 1000
Evidence resulting from geologic mapping in the southern Black Hills indicates that the areas marginal to some of the larger carbonate-cemented sandstones constitute favorable geochemical environments for the localization of uranium deposits. To determine whether these favorable environments are predictable a limited experimental core-drilling program was carried out. An extensive...
Synthesis of calcium vanadate minerals and related compounds
Richard F. Marvin
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 616
Synthesis of natural vanadates shows that most of them are stable in an acid environment. Phase studies of a portion of the system CaO-V2O5-H2O indicate that calcium vanadates are an indicator of environmental pH conditions. Some minerals, such as pascoute, indicate rapid evaporation of vanadite solutions; other minerals, such as...
