A spectrophotometric study of the thorium-morin mixed-color system
Mary H. Fletcher, Robert G. Milkey
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 460
Thorium reacts with morin in solutions at a pH of 2.0 to yield a single complex that has a thorium:morin ratio of 1:2. The yellow complex has a maximum absorbance at 410 m and is stable for at least 7 hours. The sensitivity of the reaction is such that as little as about...

J. R. Henderson
1954, Trace Elements Memorandum 744
The accompanying map shows the results of an airborne radioactivity survey in 125 square miles of Sand Creek SW and Sand Creek SE quadrangles, Wyoming.

A field method for making a quantitative estimate of altered tuff in sandstone
R. A. Cadigan
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 174
The use of benzidine to identify altered tuff in sandstone is practical for field or field laboratory studies associated with stratigraphic correlations, mineral deposit investigations, or paleogeographic interpretations. The method is based on the ability of saturated benzidine (C12H12N2) solution to produce a blue stain on montmorillonite-bearing tuff grains. The...

The accompanying map shows the results of an airborne radioactivity survey in 151 square miles of Baggs SW and Baggs SE quadrangles, Wyoming. This area is part of a larger survey made in southern Carbon and Sweetwater counties by the U.S. Geological Survey, November 9-24, 1953. The work was undertaken...
Stratigraphy of parts of De Soto and Hardee Counties, Florida
Maximilian H. Bergendahl
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 458
The late Cenozoic stratigraphy of part of central Florida immediately south of the land-pebble phosphate district was studies in detail to determine the southern limit of the economically important Bone Valley formation and its relations with marine rocks of late Miocene and Pliocene age in south-central Florida. In addition a...
Results of core drilling for uranium-bearing carbonaceous shale and lignite in the Goose Creek district, Cassia County, Idaho
William J. Mapel, William J. Hail Jr.
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 438
Thirteen core holes, totaling 2,023 feet, were drilled during the fall of 1953 to explore the grade and extent of uranium-bearing beds of carbonaceous shale and lignite in the east-central part of the Goose Creek district, Cassia County, Idaho. The beds tested are interbedded with volcanic ash, bentonite, greenish-gray shale,...
Uranium in the Mayoworth area, Johnson County, Wyoming - a preliminary report
J. D. Love
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 436
The uranium mineral, metatyuyamunite, occurs in the basal limestone of the Sundance formation of late Jurassic age along the east flank of the Bighorn Mountains, about 2 miles southwest of the abandoned Mayoworth post office. This occurrence is of particular interest because it is the first uranium mineralization reported from...
Wall-rock control of cortain pitchblende deposits in Golden Gate Canyon, Jefferson County, Colorado
John W. Adams, Frederick Stugard Jr.
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 430
Carbonate veins cutting pre-Cambrian metamorphic rocks in Golden Gate Canyon contain pitchblende and base-metal sulfides. The veins occupy extensive faults of Laramide age but normally contain pitchblende only where the cut hornblende gneiss. At the Union Pacific prospect, which was studied in detail, pitchblende, hermatite, and some ankerite formed in...

Progress report on the Happy Jack mine, Which Canyon area, San Juan county, Utah
Albert F. Trites Jr., Randall T. Chew III
1954, Trace Elements Memorandum 645
The Happy Jack mine is in the White Canyon area, San Juan county, Utah. Production is from high-grade uranium deposits in the Shinarump conglomerate of the Triassic age. In this area the Shinarump beds range from about 16 to 40 feet in thickness and the lower part of...
Reconnaissance for uranium in New Mexico in 1953
Roy L. Griggs
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 419
In the fall of 1953 a reconnaissance search for uranium was made in the Datil area, west-central New Mexico, and in the Cerrillos, Glorieta, and Tecolote districts and the Las Vegas and Colfax Sill areas in north-central and northeastern New Mexico. Traces of radioactive materials were detected at many places...

Uranium occurrences in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Hunterdon County, New Jersey
F. A. McKeown, P.W. Choquette, R. C. Baker
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 414
Eleven occurrences of uraniferous argillite in the Lockatong lithofacies and five occurrences of uraniferous sandstone in the Stockton lithofacies, both of Triassic age, are known in Buck County, Pa. and Hunterdon County, N.J. Most of the occurrences were discovered by the Geological Survey, though prospectors found several. The Delaware quarry, Bucks...
Carnotite-bearing sandstone in Cedar Canyon, Slim Buttes, Harding County, South Dakota
James R. Gill, George W. Moore
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 411
Carnotite-bearing sandstone and clay have been found in the Chadron formation of the White River group of Oligocene age in the southern part of the Slim Buttes area, Harding County, S. Dak. Locally the mineralized sandstone contains as much as 0.23 percent uranium. The uranium and vanadium ions are believed...

Fluctuations in production and abundance of commercial species in the Red Lakes, Minnesota, with special reference to changes in the walleye population
Lloyd L. Smith Jr., Laurits W. Krefting
1954, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (83) 131-160
The Red Lakes in northwestern Minnesota comprise 275,000 acres of water which support a commercial fishery producing up to 1.5 million pounds of fish per year. Walleye, Stizostedion vitreum vitreum (Mitchill), and yellow perch, Perca flavescens (Mitchill), are the principal species. Statistics for the past 37 years have been analyzed...
Relationship of length of fish to incidence of sea lamprey scars on white suckers, Catostomus commersoni, in Lake Huron
A.E. Hall, Oliver R. Elliott

During the course of experimental fishing operations conducted by the staff of Hammond Bay Fishery Laboratory (a field station of Great Lakes Fishery Investigations) in 1950-1951, length measurements and records of scarring incidence and number of scars per individual were obtained for a sample of 552 white suckers, Catostomus commersoni...

Thick target bremsstrahlung spectra for 1.00-, 1.25-, and 1.40-Mev electrons
W. Miller, J. W. Motz, C. Cialella
1954, Physical Review (96) 1344-1350
The spectrum of radiation produced by 1.0-, 1.25-, and 1.40-Mev electrons incident on a thick tungsten target was measured at 0° and 90° with the incident beam by a method involving the magnetic analysis of Compton electrons. The effects of electron scattering and energy loss in the target preclude any...

Quantitative radiochemical method for determination of major sources of natural radioactivity in ores and minerals
J. N. Rosholt
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 1307-1311
When an ore sample contains radioactivity other than that attributable to the uranium series in equilibrium, a quantitative analysis of the other emitters must be made in order to determine the source of this activity. Thorium-232, radon-222, and lead-210 have been determined by isolation and subsequent activity analysis of some...
