From abstract: The uranium mineral uranocircite, a barium uranyl phosphate, occurs in a sandstone channel in the Chadron formation of Oligocene age in the White River Badlands, Pennington County, S. Dak. A vertical section of the basal 1-foot of the channel contains 0. 25 percent uranium. There are also small amounts of metatyuyamunite (?) in the upper part of a freshwater lime stone bed in the Chadron formation and carnotite in chalcedony veins in the overlying Brule formation, also of Oligocene age.

Theoretical Effect of Diffusion on Isotopic Abundance Ratios in Rocks and Associated Fluids (open access)

Theoretical Effect of Diffusion on Isotopic Abundance Ratios in Rocks and Associated Fluids

From Abstract: "It is proposed that diffusion be considered as a possible process of isotope fractionation taking place throughout geologic time. Both diffusion in solids and in liquids are considered as possible mechanisms, the latter being more important. Arguments are presented which show that if significant fractionation takes place within a crystal by outward diffusion under solid state conditions, enrichment will be evident only in elements of minor concentration."

Thorium and rare earth minerals in the Powderhorn district, Gunnison County, Colorado (open access)

Thorium and rare earth minerals in the Powderhorn district, Gunnison County, Colorado

"Thorium deposits were discovered in the Powderhorn district in 1949. This district has long been known for its occurrences of alkalic igneous rocks, of which the best known is the Iron Hill complex (Larsen, 1942). Some of these alkalic rocks contain titanium, barium, strontium, rare earths, thorium, and niobium in greater percentages than those of most igneous rocks. A study of the thorium deposits was undertaken to obtain more information on the geologic relation of minor elements, particularly rare earths, and thorium, to alkalic igneous rocks, and to evaluate the economic significance of the Thorium deposits."
