Radiometric Reconnaissance Examination in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Western New Jersey

Abstract: In May 1950, 350 miles of road was traversed in the vicinity of a torbernite locality in New Jersey. The radioactivity of the area traversed was two to three times above normal, averaging 0.003 percent equivalent uranium. It is estimated that there is 1,000 tons of rock averaging 0.009 percent uranium at the torbernite locality. The presence of this area of above-normal radioactivity suggests that further study is needed in the Piedmont belt and the flanking sediments, which may contain economic deposits of uranium minerals.

The Fluorapatite System of Equilibria in the Conditions of Formation of Sedimentary Rocks (open access)

The Fluorapatite System of Equilibria in the Conditions of Formation of Sedimentary Rocks

From translator's abstract: "As part of unified research on the behavior of the fluoride ion in sedimentary rocks, the present study deals with the system CaO-P2O5-HF-H20 at 25 degrees C. under conditions of sea sedimentation. The precipitated phases, their fields of crystallization and stability, the fluorine-phosphorus coefficient, and the isomorphism of fluorhydroxl ions in the apatite lattice are considered and illustrated by orthogonal projections."

Conditions of the Formation of Fluorite in Sedimentary Rocks (The Fluorite System) (open access)

Conditions of the Formation of Fluorite in Sedimentary Rocks (The Fluorite System)

From translator's abstract: "The formation of fluorite in sedimentary rocks has been investigated by studies of fluorite equilibria in different solutions. Determinations at different temperatures were made on the solubility of crystalline CaF2 in chemically pure water, in aqueous solutions of components of seat water...at different concentrations, and in the sea water itself at degrees of salinity varying from normal to a 15-fold concentration."
