Precambrian uranium-bearing quartz-pebble conglomerates: exploration model and United States resource potential
Description:
From Introduction: "Uranium has been discovered in fluvial quartz-pebble conglomerates in most of the Precambrian shield areas of the world, including the Canadian, African, South America, Indian, Baltic, and Australian shields. Occurrences in these and other areas are shown in Figure 1.1.
