Uranium minerals have been discovered in the Wind River formation of early Eocene age, strata of middle and late Eocene age, and the Thermopolis shale of early Cretaceous age in the Gas Hills area of central Wyoming.  The localities of uranium mineralization were found independently by prospectors and by geologists...

Extensive deposits of bentonite are present in the Cretaceous sedimentary rock strata cropping out on the northern flank of the Black Hills. These deposits have been the subject of a study by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of the program of the Department of the Interior for appraisal of...

Semiquantative interpretation of data from airborne radioactivity surveying requires detailed knowledge of air-scattered gamma-ray intensity at considerable air distances from natural, thick uranium sources. Based on the concept of an elementary source of infinite thickness rather than on the classical point source, semi-empirical expressions, are developed for measured gamma-radiation intensities from . the...

A brief reconnaissance of the Juneau area, Alaska, was made to investigate the ground-water conditions. Particular reference was made to the availability of small water supplies to meet the standards of the Alaska Department of Health....
