Reconnaissance for Uranium-Bearing Carbonaceous Rocks in Northwestern Colorado, Southwestern Wyoming, and Adjacent Parts of Utah and Idaho

Description: Abstract: During parts of July, August, and September 1951, a reconnaissance was conducted in parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho in search of new deposits of uranium-bearing carbonaceous rocks. One significant uranium occurrence was found, the Fall Creek deposit, Bonneville County, Idaho. Several additional localities were discovered that contain uranium in concentrations many times that normally found in carbonaceous rocks.

Distribution of Elements in the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation in the Jo Dandy Area, Montrose County, Colorado

Description: The following report covers a chemical study that was made of the Salt Wash member of the Morrison formation of Jurassic age in the Jo Dandy area, Montrose County, Colorado in 1954. The chemical study was made to investigate the distribution of elements in the host rocks with emphasis on the pattern of variation as related to the position of known ore bodies, and to determine average concentrations of some of the elements in the major rock types.

Sources of the Elements in thh Sandstone-Type Uranium Deposits of the Colorado Plateau

Description: The following report covers a broad-scale study of the distribution of elements in the rocks and ores of the Colorado Plateau. Discussed here are the results from semiquantitative spectrographic analyses of approximately 800 samples of rocks and ores that form the principal starting point for the discussion. This paper examines the relevance of the results of the study of the distribution of elements to the special problem of the source or sources of the elements contained in unusual abundance … more
