Uranium distribution in pseudowollastonite slag from a phosphorus furnace
Edward Young, Zalman S. Altschuler
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 615
Silicate slag from the Victor Chemical Company phosphorus furnace at Tarpon Springs, Fla., has been found to consist essentially of pseudowollastonite, α-CaSiO3. The first-formed crystals are euhedral laths which form a mesh making up most of the slag. As the slag continues to solidify, its composition changes slightly and more...
The determination of uranium (IV) in apatite
Roy S. Clarke Jr., Zalman S. Altschuler
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 637
Geologic and mineralogic evidence indicate that the uranium present in apatite may proxy for calcium in the mineral structure as U(IV). An experimental investigation was conducted and chemical evidence was obtained that establishes the presence of U(IV) in apatite. The following analytical procedure was developed for the determination of U(IV). Carbonate-fluorapatite...
Abundance and distribution of uranium and thorium in zircon, sphene, apatite, epidote, and monazite in granitic rocks
Patrick M. Hurley, Harold W. Fairbairn
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 636
Analyses were made of uranium and thorium in ziircon, sphene, apatite, epidote, and monazite separated as accessory minerals from samples of granitic rock from widely scattered localities to indicate the abundance and distribution of these two elements among the five mineral phases. For any pair of mineral phases the distribution...
Occurrence of selenium in sulfides from some sedimentary rocks of the western United States
Robert G. Coleman, Maryse Delevaux
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 632
Investigations of the minor- and trace-element content of sulfides associated with uranium ore deposits from sandstone-type deposits have shown that selenium commonly substitutes for sulfur. The Morrison formation and Entrada sandstone of Jurassic age and the Wind River formation of Eocene age seem to be seleniferous stratigraphic zones; sulfides deposited...
The absorption spectra of the complexes of uranium (VI) with some β-diketones
H.I. Feinstein
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 631
The absorption spectra of the complexes of uranium (VI) with four β-dike tones were determined under various conditions of pH, concentration of uranium, and alcohol concentration. Under optimum conditions, the maximum molar absorptivity (31,200) is obtained using 2-furoyltrifluoroacetone. This compares with about 4,000 and 19,000 for the thiocyanate and dibenzoylmethane...
Geology of Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming
Charles Sherwood Robinson
1956, Bulletin 1021-I
Devils Tower is a steep-sided mass of igneous rock that rises above the surrounding hills and the valley of the Belle Fourche River in Crook County, Wyo. It is composed of a crystalline rock, classified as phonolite porphyry, that when fresh is gray but which weathers to green or brown....
Sources of the elements in the sandstone-type uranium deposits of the Colorado Plateau
Eugene M. Shoemaker, W.L. Newman, A.T. Miesch
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 629
Sandstone-type uranium deposits of the Colorado Plateau are epigenetic. Certain elements have been added locally to the sandstone host to form the deposits; the added fraction of each element in the deposits is call extrinsic to distinguish it from the part present in the original unmineralized host. The principal extrinsic...
Semiquantitative spectrographic analysis and rank correlation in geochemistry
Francis J. Flanagan
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 628
The rank correlation coefficient, rs, which involves less computation than the product moment correlation coefficient, r, can be used to indicate the degree of relationship between two elements. The methods is applicable in situations where the assumptions underlying distribution correlation theory may not be satisfied. Semiquantitative spectrographic analyses can be...

A series of twenty-nine geological spot examinations of mines and prospects in Iran were carried out by Dr. Russell Gibson, Geologist, U.S. Geological Survey between February 1954 and June 1955. These studies were under the joint auspices of the U.S. Operation Mission of the International Cooperation Administration and the Iranian...
