Notes on the geology of uranium
Montis Ruhl Klepper, D.G. Wyant, Donald Cave Duncan, Walter Danilchik, M.H. Staatz, Harley Barnes, V.E. McKelvey
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 529
Host rocks and their alterations as related to uranium-bearing veins in the United States
George W. Walker
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 638
This paper, dealing with the different kinds of host rocks and their alterations associated with uranium-bearing veins in the United States, is a chapter of a comprehensive report entitled , "Geology of uranium-bearing vein deposits in the United States," in preparation by George W. Walker, Frank W. Osterwald, and others....
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...
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...
Detailed mineral and chemical relations in two uranium-vanadium ores
Robert M. Garrels, E. S. Larsen III, A. M. Pommer, R. G. Coleman
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 635
Channel samples from two mines on the Colorado Plateau have been studied in detail both mineralogically and chemically. A channel sample from the Mineral Joe No. 1 mine, Montrose County, Colo., extends from unmineralized rock on one side, through a zone of variable mineralization, into only weakly mineralized rock. The unmineralized...
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...
A dithizone method for the determination of lead in monazite
R. A. Powell, C. A. Kinser
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 630
In determining lead in monazite [(Ce,La,Th)PO4]--to be used as the basis for geologic age measurements--it was necessary to eliminate interferences due to the presences of phosphates of thorium and the rare-earth metals. The method, in which monazite samples are attacked with hot concentrated sulfuric acid, taken up with dilute nitric acid,...
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...
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...
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...
Uranium distribution in pseudowollastonite slag from a phosphorus furnace
Edward Young, Zalman S. Altschuler
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 615
Silicate slag from the Victor Chemical Company phosphorus furnace at Tarpon Springs, Fla., has been found to consist essentially of pseudowollastonite, α-CaSiO3. The first-formed crystals are euhedral laths which form a mesh making up most of the slag. As the slag continues to solidify, its composition changes slightly and more...
X-ray powder data for uranium and thorium minerals
Clifford Frondel, Daphne Riska, Judith Weiss Frondel
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 575
The U.S. Geological Survey has in preparation a comprehensive volume on the mineralogy of uranium and thorium. This work has been done as part of a continuing systematic survey of data on uranium and thorium minerals on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Pending publication of...
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...
