Engineering geology of the Nenana-Rex area, Alaska
Reuben Kachadoorian
1956, Open-File Report 56-67
A geological examination of the Nenana-Rex area, Alaska, was made during August, 1954 by a Geological Survey party consisting of Reuben Kachadoorian, geologist, and Lloyd Plafker, field assistant. The area examined lies in parts of the Fairbanks A-4, A-5, B-4, B-5, C-4 and C-5 quadrangles (fig. 1). A preliminary highway...

Engineering geology of the Katalla area, Alaska
Reuben Kachadoorian
1956, Open-File Report 56-66
A geological examination of the Katalla area, Alaska, was made during the summer of 1)55 at the request of and in cooperation with the Alaska Road Commission. The Katalla area herein defined lies in the Cordova A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2 quadrangles (fig. 1), and encompasses most of the area...
Geology of the Pumpkin Buttes Area of the Powder River Basin, Campbell and Johnson Counties, Wyoming
William Neil Sharp, Amos McNairy White
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 899
About 200 uranium occurrences have been examined in the Pumpkin Buttes area, Wyoming. Uranium minerals are visible at most of these places and occur in red and buff sandstone lenses in the Wasatch formation of Eocene age. The uranium minerals are disseminated in buff sandstone near red sandstone, and also...

Uranium-Bearing Carbonaceous Nodules of Southwestern Oklahoma
James Wilcott Hill
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 898
Uranium-bearing carbonaceous nodules have been found along the north flank of the Wichita uplift in southwestern Oklahoma. The carbonaceous nodules are black, hard, and predominantly nodular shaped. One specimen, by analyses, was found to contain approximately 42 percent carbon and 3 percent hydrogen. The uranium, vanadium, cobalt, arsenic, nickel, lead...
Index of surface-water records to September 30, 1955. Part 5 - Hudson Bay and upper Mississippi River basins

The determination of uranium (IV) in apatite
Roy S. Clarke Jr., Zalman S. Altschuler
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 637
Geologic and mineralogic evidence indicate that the uranium present in apatite may proxy for calcium in the mineral structure as U(IV). An experimental investigation was conducted and chemical evidence was obtained that establishes the presence of U(IV) in apatite. The following analytical procedure was developed for the determination of U(IV). Carbonate-fluorapatite...
Gravity survey of Ogden Valley, Weber County, Utah
Samuel Woods Stewart
1956, Open-File Report 56-112
Ogden Valley is a northwest trending valley within the Wasatch Mountains of north-central Utah. On the basis of geological evidence Ogden Valley is believed to be structurally controlled by normal faults along both the east and west margins. Gravity measurements in the valley definitely indicate a fault with at least...

Abundance and distribution of uranium and thorium in zircon, sphene, apatite, epidote, and monazite in granitic rocks
Patrick M. Hurley, Harold W. Fairbairn
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 636
Analyses were made of uranium and thorium in ziircon, sphene, apatite, epidote, and monazite separated as accessory minerals from samples of granitic rock from widely scattered localities to indicate the abundance and distribution of these two elements among the five mineral phases. For any pair of mineral phases the distribution...
Occurrence of selenium in sulfides from some sedimentary rocks of the western United States
Robert G. Coleman, Maryse Delevaux
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 632
Investigations of the minor- and trace-element content of sulfides associated with uranium ore deposits from sandstone-type deposits have shown that selenium commonly substitutes for sulfur. The Morrison formation and Entrada sandstone of Jurassic age and the Wind River formation of Eocene age seem to be seleniferous stratigraphic zones; sulfides deposited...
The absorption spectra of the complexes of uranium (VI) with some β-diketones
H.I. Feinstein
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 631
The absorption spectra of the complexes of uranium (VI) with four β-dike tones were determined under various conditions of pH, concentration of uranium, and alcohol concentration. Under optimum conditions, the maximum molar absorptivity (31,200) is obtained using 2-furoyltrifluoroacetone. This compares with about 4,000 and 19,000 for the thiocyanate and dibenzoylmethane...
Sources of the elements in the sandstone-type uranium deposits of the Colorado Plateau
Eugene M. Shoemaker, W.L. Newman, A.T. Miesch
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 629
Sandstone-type uranium deposits of the Colorado Plateau are epigenetic. Certain elements have been added locally to the sandstone host to form the deposits; the added fraction of each element in the deposits is call extrinsic to distinguish it from the part present in the original unmineralized host. The principal extrinsic...
Semiquantitative spectrographic analysis and rank correlation in geochemistry
Francis J. Flanagan
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 628
The rank correlation coefficient, rs, which involves less computation than the product moment correlation coefficient, r, can be used to indicate the degree of relationship between two elements. The methods is applicable in situations where the assumptions underlying distribution correlation theory may not be satisfied. Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses can be...

Some uranium occurrences in west Texas
D. Hoye Eargle
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 574
Uranium minerals have been found at several localities in west Texas. In the King Mountain area in southwestern Upton County carnotite forms coatings along joint planes and in borings in marine Cretaceous limestone. In the Hueco Mountains area in El Paso and Hudspeth Counties carnotite and similar secondary uranium minerals...
