Preliminary study of the favorability for uranium in the Madera Limestone, and Cutler and Chinle Formations of the Sierra Nacimiento-Jemez Mountains area, New Mexico

Description: Small, surficial, secondary uranium deposits are present in several formations in the Sierra Nacimiento-Jemez Mountains region, but none of significant size are known. Field surveys indicate that the deposits are laterally discontinuous and are, in most cases, associated with carbonaceous debris. Mineral contents of as much as 0.18 percent U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ are recorded. There are 2 known deposits in the Pennsylvanian Madera Limestone, 18 in the Permian Cutler Formation, and 3 in the Triassic Ch… more

Preliminary study of uranium in Pennsylvanian and lower Permian strata in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming and Montana, and the Northern Great Plains

Description: Persistent and widespread radiometric anomalies occur in Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata in the subsurface of the northern Great Plains and the Powder River Basin. The primary host lithology of these anomalies is shale interbedded with sandstone, dolomite, and dolomitic sandstone. Samples from the project area indicate that uranium is responsible for some anomalies. In some samples there seems to be a correlation between high uranium content and high organic-carbon content, which possibl… more

Preliminary study of uranium favorability of the Boulder batholith, Montana

Description: The Boulder batholith of southwestern Montana is a composite Late Cretaceous intrusive mass, mostly composed of quartz monzonite and granodiorite. This study was not restricted to the plutonic rocks; it also includes younger rocks that overlie the batholith, and older rocks that it intrudes. The Boulder batholith area has good overall potential for economic uranium deposits, because its geology is similar to that of areas that contain economic deposits elsewhere in the world, and because at lea… more

Preliminary study of the uranium favorability of granitic and contact-metamorphic rocks of the Owens Valley area, Inyo and Mono Counties, California, and Esmeralda and Mineral Counties, Nevada

Description: Granitic and contact-metamorphic rocks of the Owens Valley area were sampled to determine their favorability for uranium. Uranium deposits associated with these rocks were examined to determine the mode of occurrence. Metamorphic rocks near contacts with intrusive rocks include skarns, schists, quartzites, metaconglomerates, hornfels, gneisses, and metavolcanics. The grade of contact metamorphism ranges from slight to intense, depending upon the distance from the intrusive contact. The average … more

Preliminary study of uranium favorability of the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups (Eocene) in Texas

Description: Rocks of the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups crop out in the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain and are represented by a series of sands and shales which reflect oscillation of the strandline. The Wilcox Group (lower Eocene), usually undifferentiated in Texas, consists of very fine sands and clays and abundant lignite. The Claiborne Group (middle Eocene) comprises, in ascending order, Carrizo Sand, Reklaw Formation (clay), Queen City Sand, Weches Formation (clay), Sparta Sand, Cook Mountain Formation (clay),… more

Precambrian uranium-bearing quartz-pebble conglomerates: exploration model and United States resource potential

Description: Uranium has been discovered in fluvial quartz-pebble conglomerates in most of the Precambrian shield areas of the world, including the Canadian, African, South American, Indian, Baltic, and Australian shields. Occurrences in these and other areas are shown. Two of these occurrences, the Huronian supergroup of Canada and the Witwatersrand deposit of South Africa contain 20 to 30 percent of the planet's known uranium reserves. Thus it is critical that we understand the origin of these deposits an… more

Generalized structure map of top, middle, and basal tertiary markers with geothermal gradients, eastern north slope petroleum province, Alaska

Description: This map shows structure contours on several markers in the Tertiary rocks in the Prudhoe Bay area and the regional geothermal gradients. Contours of the geothermal gradient (Am. Assoc. Petroleum Geologists, undated) apparently correlate with other geologic trends. The lower gradients coincide with the deepest part of the Colville basin, and the higher gradients with the thinner section of sediments deposited over the Barrow arch. The inflection of the isograds in the vicinity of Prudhoe Bay ma… more

Characterization and analysis of Devonian shales as related to release of gaseous hydrocarbons

Description: Physical, chemical, and lithological characterizations of the 0-3 well were made along with free gas analyses. Hydrocarbon gases made up 3 to 46.5% of the gas mixture surrounding the shale in the sealed canister which represents a hydrocarbon gas content of about 0.3 cubic foot per cubic foot of shale. Significant amounts of carbon found in the solid shales agree with the reasonably high gas contents. Familiar one-to-one relationships which have been observed in a number of previous wells are a… more
