Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over mineral characteristics, uses, and problems. Descriptions of common minerals and their uses are presented and discussed. This report includes tables, maps, and illustrations.

From introduction: This report details the investigations of the physical stratigraphy of the Phosphoria Formation in northwestern Wyoming.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over an annual study of synthetic liquid fuel production. Results of the annual study are discussed. This report includes maps, tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Report discussing the investigation of 750 square miles of land in Wyoming aimed at locating uranium deposits. Information regarding the area, uranium deposits, mineralogy, and results of the exploration are included.

From abstract: Uranium minerals were discovered in the Pumpkin Buttes area, Campbell and Johnson Counties by the U. S. Geological Survey in October 1951. From June to November 1952, an area of about 750 square miles was examined for uranium deposits, and 211 localities with abnormally high radioactivity were found; uranium minerals are visible at 121 of these localities.

Abstract: Uranium was discovered in the Gas Hills of the Wind River Basin by Mr. Nail E. McNeice of Riverton, Wyoming while he was prospecting with a Geiger counter in September 1953. Field parties of the Atomic Energy Commission started work in the area in October 1953.

Discussing the reconnaissance investigation of uranium occurrences in the Saratoga Area, in Carbon County, Wyoming

Report discussing the investigation of uranium minerals, which were discovered in the Poison Basin area, Carbon County, Wyoming, on October 15, 1953. Information regarding the geographic setting, geologic setting, stratigraphy of the area, uranium occurrences of the area, origin of the uranium, and significance of the area are included.

Report documenting the suitability of Wyoming and Idaho for plant locations to produce synthetic liquid fuels, based on raw materials, water sources, and local interest.

Summarizing the findings of investigations of radiometrically anomalous areas and discussing recommendations for a diamond drilling program.

From introduction: The compilation of the tectonic map of Wyoming east of the overthrust belt (area 6, fig. 2) was done by the U. S. Geological Survey on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. Structures shown on the map have been obtained from published geologic maps and from unpublished data supplied by Government agencies, private companies, and independent geologists. The tectonic map of Wyoming east of the overthrust belt is only a progress report; any suggestions for corrections or additions will be appreciated.

From abstract: A sequence of slightly radioactive Pliocene(?) rocks in the Split Rock area of central Wyoming is at least 600 feet thick, underlies an area of more than 25 square miles, and consists of alternating beds of tuffaceous shale, sandstone, and pumicite. Only a small part of the section has been examined. In addition to the uranium content of the strata, there has been secondary concentration of uranium in brecciated limestone similar to spring deposits that could be of Pliocene or Pleistocene age.

Report discussing the uranium deposits located in the Miller Hill area of Carbon County, Wyoming. A stratigraphic description of the area is also given.

From introduction: This report concerns the investigation of uranium deposits in the Gas Hills area in July 1954.

Abstract: During parts of July, August, and September 1951, a reconnaissance was conducted in parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho in search of new deposits of uranium-bearing carbonaceous rocks. One significant uranium occurrence was found, the Fall Creek deposit, Bonneville County, Idaho. Several additional localities were discovered that contain uranium in concentrations many times that normally found in carbonaceous rocks.

From abstract: Field work leading to this report was done by the U. S. Geological Survey for the Division of Raw Materials of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Nearly 24 townships were mapped in the central part of the Great Divide Basin, Sweetwater County, Wyoming, Fourteen of these townships contain outcrops of uranium-bearing coal. Thirty coal beds were mapped, but only seven of them have uranium-bearing coal reserves as defined in this report.

Report discussing the U.S. Geological Survey's investigation for uraniferous coal in the central region of the Great Divide Basin of Sweetwater County, Wyoming.

The following report studies uranium ore deposits discovered in the Browns Park Formation, south-central Wyoming and northwest Colorado.

Abstract: A program of airborne radiometric reconnaissance for uranium was conducted in eastern Fremont and western Natrona Counties, in central Wyoming, during the summer and fall of 1954, by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

Report discussing investigation of the relation of uranium and phosphate in the Phosphoria formation and its close stratigraphic equivalents.

Report discussing investigations seeking uranium in deposits of black shale around the geographical areas of the Western States

A report about the geology of the the Crazy Woman Creek area in Wyoming. Rocks of every system except the Silurian and Devonian are present in the area.

From introduction: The investigations that are the subject of this report were to appraise the uranium resources of the Red Desert area, and to accumulate data concerning the geology of uranium. Knowledge of the genesis of the schroeckingerite is necessary for a clear appraisal of the deposit.

This report follows the geological study of the Crazy Woman Creek area in Johnson County, Wyoming where oil, gas, and coal investigations were made.
