From purpose and scope: The objective of this study was to delineate areas of maximum uranium favorability in Tertiary sediments that underlie part of the South Texas Coastal Plain.

The report of a photogeologic reconnaissance study of the spatial relationship of uranium deposits to structure and stratigraphy.

From summary: As the principal objective of this study is to identify the most useful geologic characteristics, referred to as recognition criteria, and develop a method for their systematic use in resource studies and exploration, the important geologic observations on the uranium deposits of South Texas are briefly summarized below.

Reporting investigations into the lithologic and structural ore controls as revealed by this exploration program.

This is a set of 62 plates that accompany a report on uranium favorability in rocks of the south Texas coastal plain.

Final report documenting a high-sensitivity airborne gamma radiation and magnetic field survey of the Texas portions of the Beeville (NH 14-12 quadrangle) and Bay City (NH 15-10 quadrangle) National Topographic Map segments including a description of the program and results.

From introduction: This report presents the results of a preliminary study of the uranium favorability of lower and middle Eocene rocks in the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups in the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain. The project began October 1, 1976, and was completed March 1, 1977, by personnel of Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (BFEC) under the auspices of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA).

First volume of a report describing the program and results of investigations on the Seguin NTMS quadrangle.

Maps and charts illustrating aspects of a photogeologic reconnaissance study of the spatial relationship of uranium deposits to structure and stratigraphy in Duval County, Texas.

From introduction: In this study on raw material sources of uranium the Southern Interstate Nuclear Board has catalogued all known occurrences of uranium and some references to thorium in a 17-state area (P1. 1). These occurrences have been evaluated as potential sources of uranium by the State Geological Surveys and the consultant group of SINB. Favorability guides have been applied to the known occurrences and recommendations have been made for future action by the states involved, federal agencies, or by industry. State recommendations are included in state-by-state summaries. The state reports were written either by personnel of the State Geological Surveys or were abstracted from State geological survey data by members of the consultant group...The purpose of this study was to compile information on and systematically assess uranium and other radioactive occurrences in the region. The SINB undertook the project because of its statutory, interstate capability as an extension of government in each of the 17 states, an arrangement that lends itself effectively to this cooperative undertaking.

From objectives: This report demonstrates the concept of hydrogeochemical sampling to be used in the 12-state region for which UCC-ND has the responsibility if surveying as part of the NURE. The results of a geochemical survey at two sample spacings in the Crystal City Quadrangle in south Texas are presented.

From objectives: This report describes the physical geology of the Catahoula Formation-its genetic stratigraphy, structure, mineralogical composition, and post-depositional history and discusses the known distribution of uranium within the context of these geological parameters. Emphasis is on definition of primary physical and historical factors affecting the mobilization, transport, and concentration of uranium in the Catahoula Formation.

"Approximately 30 radioactive mineral deposits are known to occur in the Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas and Louisianna, north and east of the Guadalupe River. A preliminary field examination and sampling of each deposit has been made"

From abstract: A Principal Components Analysis (PCA) program has been written to aid in the interpretation of multivariate aerial radiometric data collected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program. The variations exhibited by these data have been reduced and classified into a number of linear combinations by using the PCA program. The PCA program then generates histograms and outlier maps of the individual variates. Black and white plots can be made on a Calcomp plotter by the application of follow-up programs. All programs referred to in this guide were written for a DEC-10. From this analysis a geologist may begin to interpret the data structure. Insight into geological processes underlying the data may be obtained.

Abstract: Concentration of secondary uranium minerals, some of which are commercially significant, have been found in three formations of Tertiary age in the Gulf Coastal Plain area of southern Texas: the Fayette sandstone of the Jackson formation, the Catahoula tuff, and the Oakville sandstone.

From objective and plan: The airborne data gathered were reduced using ground-based computer facilities to give the basic uranium, thorium and potassium equivalent gamma radiation intensities, ratios of these intensities, aircraft altitude above the earth's surface, total gamma ray and earth's magnetic field intensity, correlated as a function of geologic units indicated from available geologic maps. Results of analyses of these field data are presented as profile plots of the gamma radiation and earth's magnetic field.

From introduction: Geodata International, Incorporated, conducted an airborne gamma ray and total magnetic field survey which covered a region of North Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The specific area of this report as outlined on Figure 1 was surveyed from an aircraft using large-volume radiation detectors with computer-controlled airborne equipment. Each map line was flown in an east-west direction with an average length of 120 miles and each tie line was flown in a north-south direction with an average length of 69 miles. Map lines and tie lines were surveyed spaced at intervals indicated on Figure 2. The data for the total area of Figure 1 were gathered between March-July, 1976.
