Depositional environments and paleocurrent directions in the Precambrian Moeda Formation, Minas Gerais, Brazil
David A. Lindsey
1975, Open-File Report 75-264
The middle Precambrian Moeda Formation of Minas Gerais, Brazil, contains uranium and other minerals believed to be of detrital origin. Two areas of anomalously high concentrations of uranium have been discovered in conglomeratic zones that are interpreted as paleochannels. Because the distribution of uranium is believed to be controlled at...

Stratigraphy and mineralogy of laterite beds near Ziarat, Quetta Division, Pakistan
John J. Matzko, S. Anthony Stanin
1975, Open-File Report 75-555
Ferruginous aluminous laterite beds crop out in the Ziarat-Loralai area east of Quetta for a strike length of about 60 miles. The beds are steeply dipping, sometimes overturned and faulted, and have an average thickness of 8 feet.Detailed mineralogical and chemical analyses were made on chip-channel samples from four sections...

1975, Open-File Report 75-156
The influence of oil-shale mineral constitution on the amounts of Na2O, Al2O3, and SiO2 extractable from pyrolyzed oil shale using hot water and hot caustic solvents has been examined. Samples of oil shale from two drill cores and one composite sample from the Colony mine were split and studied by...

1975, Open-File Report 75-361
High-quality lignite has been mined in small quantity from rocks of early Tertiary age in the Lakhra anticline area for at least 20 years, but because coal outcrops are poor or nonexistent, the extent of the field was not known. However, between 1953 and 1958, five oil test holes penetrated...
