An occurrence of autunite, Lawrence County, South Dakota
Rollin C. Vickers
1953, Circular 286
In July 1952 an occurrence of autunite was found in the northern part of the Black Hills, South Dakota, during a reconnaissance for radioactive deposits. The autunite occurs as fracture coatings and disseminations in siltstone of the Deadwood formation of Cambrian age and is concentrated mainly in the lower 2...

Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in the Darby Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 1948
Walter S. West
1953, Circular 300
Radioactivity in the southern and eastern parts of the Darby Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, appears to be directly related to the occurrence of granite. Concentrates from placers derived from areas containing granite are more radioactive than concentrates from placers not derived from the granite and, generally, contain from 0.01 to...
Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in the lower Yukon-Kuskokwim Highlands region, Alaska
M.G. White, P.L. Killeen
1953, Circular 255
Investigations in 1947 in the Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim region, Alaska found that previously reported radioactivity in the vicinity of Flat is due to uraniferous zircon, an accessory mineral in monzonite. The monzonite intrudes mafic igneous and Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The maximum equivalent-uranium content of the zircon is 0.14 percent, and...

Geology of the Plumtree area, Spruce Pine district, North Carolina
Donald Albert Brobst
1953, Open-File Report 53-26
This report describes the results of study and geologic mapping (1:12,000) in the 70-square-mile Plumtree area in the northeastern part of the Spruce Pine pegmatite district, on the Blue Ridge upland in western North Carolina. The district has been the chief domestic source of feldspar and sheet mica. The mining...
Pre-Cambrian geology of the Norway Lake area, Dickinson County, Michigan
Lorin Delbert Clark
1953, Open-File Report 53-37
The Norway Lake area straddles the south margin of the Sagola basin, an embayment of Ruronian sedimentary rocks into the west side of a complex of crystalline and sedimentary rocks of pre-Ruronian age. The north part of the Norway Lake area is underlain by the Randville dolomite, an unnamed succession...

Measurement of earth pressures by means of the flat jack test
P. Habib, R. Marchand, Severine Britt (translator)
1953, Open-File Report 54-31
This study deals with the principle and application of a method of measuring the stresses around a rock gallery. The measuring principle consists of cutting a drain in a gallery wall, observing the corresponding stress lessening, then restoring the initial state of stress by means of a Freyssinet flat jack. The...
