Progress Report of Southeastern Monazite Exploration, 1952
Report about monzanite placers in streams of the western part of the Piedmont in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The objective of the report is to describe local monazite deposits, to determine geologic controls of monazite placers in the southeastern Piedmont, and to evaluate placer potentialities of the area.
Resources of Thorium and Uranium in Monazite Placers in the Western Piedmont, North Carolina and South Carolina
Abstract: "Monazite placers in the western Piedmont of North and South Carolina were explored by the U. S. Geological Survey in 1951-54 and are estimated to contain at least 53,000 short tons of ThO2 and 4,600 short tons of U3O8. None of these deposits is being mined."
Monazite in Part of the Southern Atlantic Coastal Plain
From abstract: "Sediments of the inner part of the southern Atlantic Coastal Plain have been sampled and examined for monazite." The report provides sections on general geology, field and laboratory methods, distribution of monazite, and other mineral products.
Preliminary Report on Radioactivity of Some North Carolina Pegmatites
The following report is based on the findings of a Geological Survey party who spent one week during July 1944 in western North Carolina testing some of the Pegmatites and one Kyanite mine of that region for radioactive minerals.
