Supergene and hydrothermal dispersion of heavy metals in wall rocks near ore bodies, Tintic district, Utah
H. T. Morris, T. S. Lovering
1952, Economic Geology (47) 685-716
Part I, T. S. Lovering. Preliminary work in the Tintic district, Utah, determined the relative distance of migration of ore metals in moist carbonate and silicic wall rocks near ore, and in ground water having a very sluggish circulation through mineralized ground. The analyses of efflorescences in the Tintic Standard mine openings at suitable localities indicated that under the conditions existing during the past 25 years lead has not...
Glaciation and drainage changes in the fish Lake Plateau, Utah
Clyde T. Hardy, S. Muessig
1952, Geological Society of America Bulletin (63) 1109-1116
The Fish Lake Plateau, nearly centrally located among the High Plateaus of Utah, exhibits glacial and other geomorphic features of regional significance. The plateau is divided into two areas by Fish Lake and the wide valley of Sevenmile Creek. The Fish Lake trough is a structural basin; Sevenmile Valley may be largely erosional. Volcanic rocks of Tertiary age underlie most of the plateau;...
Method for determining the age of igneous rocks using the accessory minerals
E.S. Larsen, N.B. Keevil, C. Harrison
1952, Geological Society of America Bulletin (63) 1045-1052
The age of igneous rocks is determinable by a method based on the included accessory minerals. In the common igneous rocks, most of the lead is concentrated in the potassium minerals, and most of the radioactivity is in the zircon and other accessory minerals. The lead in the potassium minerals is believed to be mostly primary lead; that in zircon is probably chiefly radiogenic lead. By...

Discussion of “tide‐producing forces and artesian pressures”
Tom Culbertson, William O. George, Frederick E. Romberg
1952, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (33) 597-600
I was an employee of the Texas State Board of Water Engineers in charge of the Fort Stockton field office at the time that the data for this paper were gathered. Since I have done both extensive and detailed ground‐water work in the Fort Stockton area, including the setting and...
Nonsteady flow to a well of constant drawdown in an extensive aquifer
C.E. Jacob, S.W. Lohman
1952, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (33) 559-569
A mathematical theory is given for the discharge of a well of constant drawdown, discharging as by natural flow from an effectively infinite aquifer of uniform transmissibility and uniform compressibility. This theory is based on the solution by L. P. Smith of the analogous problem in heat conduction. The mathematical...

Origin of the Chattanooga shale
Louis C. Conant
1952, Trace Elements Investigations 237
Tonight I will try to present to you the chief facts we have observed that have a bearing on the old problem of how the black shales originated. Some of the ideas have been used before, and some are new. Some of those that have been used before, have been used to...
The foods of fur animals of the Patuxent Research Refuge, Maryland
L. M. Llewellyn, Francis M. Uhler
1952, American Midland Naturalist (48) 193-203
Approximately 300 digestive tracts of fur animals obtained mostly during the winter trapping season and 560 scats from animals live-trapped on the Patuxent Research Refuge near Laurel, Maryland, were analyzed. The resulting data are summarized and a brief description of the area...
Pimpled plains of Eastern Oklahoma
M. M. Knechtel
1952, Geological Society of America Bulletin (63) 689-700
Patterns formed by the networks of furrows separating the natural mounds of pimpled plains in eastern Oklahoma are regarded as attributable to shrinkage-polygon systems of coarse texture comparable to those occurring (1) in mound-studded parts of the northwestern United States that are underlain by vertically jointed basalt, (2) in tracts of Alaskan tundra that are occupied...
Reconnaissance of uranium and copper deposits in parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming
Garland B. Gott, Ralph L. Erickson
1952, Trace Elements Investigations 232
Because of the common association of uranium and copper in several of the commercial uranium deposits in the Colorado Plateau Province, a reconnaissance was made of several known deposits of copper disseminated through sandstone to determine whether they might be a source of uranium. In order to obtain more information...

Preliminary report on the Comet area, Jefferson County, Montana
George Earle Becraft
1952, Trace Elements Investigations 282
Several radioactivity anomalies and a few specimens of sooty pitchblende and other uranium minerals have been found on the mine dumps of formerly productive base-and precious-metal mines along the Comet-Gray Eagle shear zone in the Comet area in southwestern Montana. The shear zone is from 50 to 200 feet wide...
Distribution of ore deposits and spectrographic analyses of some rocks and ores on the Colorado Plateau
Leonard Benjamin Riley, Eugene Merle Shoemaker
1952, Trace Elements Investigations 278
The geographic pattern of known igneous rocks and ore deposits on the Colorado Plateau suggests a zonal arrangement of several types of ore deposits around centers of igneous activity. Spectrographic analyses of rocks and ores on the Plateau have been obtained in an effort to determine the distribution of elements and...
Results of diamond drilling and geologic investigation of the Shirley May (Garo) uranium deposit, Park County, Colorado
Verl Richard Wilmarth, L.E. Smith
1952, Trace Elements Investigations 277
The Shirley May (Garo) uranium deposit near Garo, Park County, Colo., consists of tyuyamunite and carnotite that occur as disseminations and as fracture fillings in three beds of medium- to coarse-grained sandstone. The sandstones are in the Maroon formation of Permian age. This deposit was explored by means of 12 core-drill holes, totalling...
Minor elements in Arkansas bauxite
M. Gordon Jr. , K. J. Murata
1952, Economic Geology (47) 169-179
A study of the minor elements in Arkansas bauxite has revealed some striking relationships between their concentration in the parent nepheline syenite rocks as compared with their concentration in the bauxite. The ratios of concentration, in general, follow a pattern predicted by Gold-schmidt (3),2 based upon the ionic radius and ionic charge of each element present. In the Arkansas deposits, Mg, Ca, Ba, La, and Sr were depleted during...
