Petrographical Investigations of the Salt Wash Sediments, Annual Technical Report: 1954

Description: Abstract: This report consists of four parts, the first three being descriptions of investigations compiled in the period October 1st, 1953 to April 1st, 1954; the fourth part is a summary of progress of the research based on our entire investigations completed prior to April 1st, 1954. The first part comprises a set of preliminary experiments investigating the mineral composition of the sandstones in thin sections, in an attempt to differentiate barren from ore-bearing sandstones. It appears t… more

Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Uinta Basin of Colorado and Utah

Description: Abstract: Weak uranium mineralization is widespread throughout the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado, in rocks ranging in age from Permian to Eocene. No commercial ore bodies are known, although formations there have characteristics elsewhere considered favorable for ore deposition.

USAEC Airborne Radiometric Reconnaissance in Arkansas, Colorado, Montana, Texas and Utah, 1952 to 1955

Description: From introduction: This is one of a series of three reports on airborne radioactivity surveys in the United States. The reports contain the 185 airborne anomaly maps issued by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission as a result of the AEC's aerial surveying program conducted from March 1952 to June 1956; two ground reconnaissance maps of Utah also are included. Most of the reconnaissance was done in the western United States.

Fracture systems and tectonic elements of the Colorado Plateau

Description: A report regarding regional fracture systems mapped for an area of about 90,000 square miles, embracing most of the Colorado Plateau and small strips of the adjoining Rocky Mountains, by the use of aerial photographs and mosaics. The data interpreted from the photographically reduced to produce the final map.

Research and development of geophysical and geochemical techniques for uranium exploration on the Colorado Plateau

Description: The general purpose of the work performed under this contract was to develop geophysical and geochemical methods and techniques which would be effective aides in exploring for uranium and to appraise their effectiveness as determined by the results of field surveys in prospective areas about to be drilled, or in an area where ore is already known.
