Electrical properties of sandstones of the Morrison Formation
George Vernon Keller
1957, Trace Elements Investigations 592
The electrical properties of the Morrison formation in the Uravan mineral belt of the Colorado Plateau have been studied to determine if there are anomalous variations in these properties in and near zones of uranium-vanadium minerals which might serve as a target for geophysical prospecting. Measurements of electrical properties of...

Distribution of elements in the Salt Wash member of the Morrison Formation in the Jo Dandy area, Montrose County, Colorado
William L. Newman, Donald P. Elston
1957, Trace Elements Investigations 607
A study of the distribution of elements in the Salt Wash member of the Morrison formation of Jurassic age from samples taken in the Jo Dandy area, Montrose County, Colo., was made to determine average chemical composition of mudstone and sandstone and to determine the magnitude of variations in concentrations...

Mineralogical classification of uranium-vanadium deposits of the Colorado Plateau
Theodore Botinelly, Alice D. Weeks
1957, Trace Elements Memorandum 1011
The uranium deposi ts of the Colorado Plateau contain suites of minerals that are the result of different stages of oxidation of deposits with different elemental composition. A classification based on composition and stage of oxidation is presented....
Results of U.S. Geological Survey exploration for uranium-vanadium deposits in the Club Mesa area, Uravan district, Montrose County, Colorado
Robert L. Boardman, Linus R. Litsey, Howard E. Bowers
1957, Trace Elements Memorandum 979
Between 1948 and 1953, the U. S. Geological Survey conducted diamond-drill exploration in the Club Mesa. area in the western part of the Uravan district, Montrose County, Colo. This drilling, consisting of 662 holes totaling 170,095 feet, was done to find minable uranium-vanadium deposits and to appraise uranium-vanadium reserves of...

Reconnaissance for uranium and thorium in Alaska, 1954
John J. Matzko, Robert G. Bates
1957, Trace Elements Investigations 611
During 1954 reconnaissance investigations to locate minable deposits of uranium and thorium in Alaska were unsuccessful. Areas examined, from which prospectors had submitted radioactive samples, include Cap Yakataga, Kodiak Island, and Shirley Lake. Unconcentrated gravels from the beach at Cape Yakataga average about 0.001 percent equivalent uranium. Uranothorianite has been...
Reconnaissance for radioactive materials in the southern part of Brazil
Charles T. Pierson, Donald D. Haynes, Evaristo Ribeiro Filho
1957, Trace Elements Memorandum 1098
During 1954-1956 a reconnaissance for radioactive minerals was made with carborne, airborne and handborne scintillation equipment in the southern Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. During the traverse covering more than 5,000 kilometers the authors checked the radioactivity of Precambrian...

Photogeologic maps of the Miles Ranch and Love Ranch quadrangles, Fremont and Natrona Counties, Wyoming
James Pierson Minard
1957, Trace Elements Memorandum 983
Love Ranch and Miles Ranch quadrangles are in the Wind River Basin, Wyoming (fig. 1). The rocks exposed in the quadrangles are sedimentary, and range in age from Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary. The youngest formation in the quadrangles, the Wind River formation of Eocene age, is uranium bearing...
Photogeologic maps of the Iris SE and Doyleville SW quadrangles, Saguache County, Colorado
Kathleen McQueen
1957, Trace Elements Memorandum 984
The Iris SE and Doyleville SW quadrangles, Saguache County, Colorado include part ot the Cochetopa mining district. Photogeologic maps of these quadrangles show the distribution of sedimentary rocks of Jurassic and Cretaceous age; precambrian granite, schist, and gneiss; and igneous rocks of Tertiary age. Sedimentary rocks lie on an...
Summary of reconnaissance for uranium in Alaska, 1955
John J. Matzko, Val L. Freeman
1957, Trace Elements Investigations 617
Reconnaissance for uranium in Alaska during 1955 included airborne radiometric traverses, examination of radioactivity anomalies found during the airborne traverses, examination of prospector leads, and examination of areas that seems geologically favorable for the occurrence of uranium. The airborne radiometric traverses in central Alaska revealed 33 anomalies considered worth examining....
Uraniferous coal and carbonaceous shale in northeast Parana, Brazil
Donald D. Haynes, Charles T. Pierson
1957, Trace Elements Memorandum 1097
Uraniferous coal has been found in northeast Parana, Brazil, in the Rio Bonito formation of Pennsylvanian age. In the majority of coal samples taken the uranium oxide content ranges from 0.005 to 0.030 percent, but selected screened samples have contained as much as 0.445 percent uranium oxide. The sampled thickness...

Lead-alpha age determinations of granitic rocks from Alaska
John J. Matzko, H.W. Jaffe, C. L. Waring
1957, Trace Elements Investigations 618
Lead-alpha activity age determinations were made on zircon from seven granitic rocks of central and southeastern Alaska. The results of the age determinations indicate two periods of igneous intrusion, one about 95 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, and another about 53 million years ago, during the early part...
