Various aspects of uranium ore rolls in the United States
Elbert Nelson Harshman
1970, Open-File Report 70-154
About 40 percent of the uranium ore reserves in the United States, minable at $8 per pound of contained U308, are in roll-type deposits in the State of Wyoming. The host rocks are arkosic sandstones, deposited in intermontane basins under fluvial conditions, and derived from the granitic cores of mountain...

Environments at U.S. and U.S.S.R. nuclear explosion sites petroleum-stimulation projects
Maurice J. Terman
1970, Open-File Report 71-279
The United States Plowshare program for the peaceful application of nuclear explosives was formally established by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1957. A number of engineering uses for such explosions were proposed and discussed in the late fifties, mostly by personnel of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory under contract to AEC,...

Geologic evaluation of 3-5 micrometer infrared imagery and color photography in southern Utah
Robert J. Hackman, Paul L. Williams
1970, Open-File Report 71-140
A comparison of 3-5 micrometer, afternoon and midnight infrared (IR) imagery and color photography with conventional aerial photography shows that IR imagery and color photography have some unique capabilities. In general, the IR imagery provides in shades of gray a record of the relative ground temperature at the time the...

Qualitative analysis of airborne magnetometer data: The Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Donald H. Hase
1970, Open-File Report 70-155
A qualitative analysis and interpretation of magnetic data obtained from airborne magnetometer and scintillometer surveys of the Precambrian Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, show that some rock units and geologic features exhibit characteristic magnetic expressions and anomalies. Circular to elliptical anomalies are attributed to younger intrusive or less commonly...
An appraisal of the Jabal Idsas magnetite mineralization based on diamond drill hole N40A
Conrad Martin
1970, Open-File Report 70-215
Diamond Drill Bole N40, intended to test the magnetite mineralization at Jabal Idsas, was aborted because of technical difficulties and a new hole, N4OA, was drilled at the same site in February of 1968 to an inclined down-the-hole depth of 445.7 meters. Disseminated magnetite and locally massive lenses, veins, and...
Feasibility of surveying pesticide coverage with airborne fluorometer
George Eimert Stoertz, William R. Hemphill
1970, Open-File Report 70-315
Response of a Fraunhofer line discriminator (FLD) to varying distributions of granulated corncobs stained with varying concentrations of Rhodamine WT dye was tested on the ground and from an H-19 helicopter. By design the instrument detected fluorescence specifically at the sodium D2 Fraunhofer line (5890 angstroms). The granules are used...
Test of airborne fluorometer over land surfaces and geologic materials
George Eimert Stoertz, William R. Hemphill
1970, Open-File Report 70-316
Response of an experimental Fraunhofer line discriminator(FLD) to a wide range of surficial deposits common in deserts and semideserts was tested in the laboratory and from an 1-1-19 helicopter. By design the instrument sensed radiation from the ground specifically at the sodium D2 Fraunhofer line (5890 angstroms). It is capable...

Nineteen exploratory holes were drilled in Grant, Hettinger, Morton, and Stark Counties, N. Dak. (fig. 1), for the U.S. Geological Survey from June 7 to September 15, 1966. This prospect drilling was undertaken to gather data on the thickness, quality, and extent of lignite beds and the lithologic characteristics of...
