1978, Open-File Report 78-559
More than 1400 m of fine-grained clastic rocks and reefoid limestones constitute the lower part of an Upper Devonian transgressive-regressive cycle in the central Brooks Range, Alaska (Dutro and others, 1977). The Hunt Fork Shale and an underlying heterogeneous unit (unnamed) were measured and sampled on the east side of...
Postulated model of uranium occurrence in the central mining area, Marysvale District, west-central Utah
Charles G. Cunningham, Thomas August Steven
1978, Open-File Report 78-1093
Uranium in the central mining area of Marysvale, Utah occurs in hydrothermal veins cutting granitic and volcanic rocks in the eastern source area of the Mount Belknap Volcanics. A preliminary model for the origin of the veins envisages deposition in near-surface fractures above an unexposed pluton that may host a...
