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...

Geologic features of areas of abnormal radioactivity south of Ocala, Marion County, Florida
Gilbert H. Espenshade
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 941
Areas of abnormal radioactivity south of Ocala, Marion County, Fla., discovered in 1953 by aerial survey, were investigated by surface examination and by 10 power auger drill holes. Inter-bedded clay, clayey sand, and uraniferous phosphorite occur in the areas of anomalous radioactivityo Miocene fossils occur at three localities in these...

Thick sequences of silicate and carbonate rocks of sedimentary origin in North America an interim report
John David Love
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 1088
Thick sequences of silicate and carbonate rocks of sedimentary origin have been investigated in 64 areas in North America. The areas containing the thickest and most homogeneous stratigraphic sections more than 1,000 feet thick, buried at depths greater than 10,000 feet are: 1. Uinta Basin, Utah, where the Mancos shale...
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...
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...
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...
