Purpose: The primary objective of the eastern oil shale drilling was to obtain cores of the Chattanooga shale, from considerable depths and at long distances from its outcrops. Correlation of the cores with outcrop samples showed the effect of weathering on the shale, as well as changes in the stratigraphy. Of secondary interest was acquisition of information on the stratigraphy of the overlying rocks.

Introduction: During the course of geologic reconnaissance on the west flank of the Sierra Nacimiento near La Ventana Mesa, Sandoval County, N. Mex., several outcrops of carbonaceous material in the Dakota sandstone and the Gibson coal member of the Mesaverde formation have been examined and estimated to contain as much as 0.03 percent equivalent uranium. These outcrops are in an area that is an extension of the La Ventana Mesa area.

Summary: The Lost Creek schroeckingerite deposit in Sweetwater County, Wyo., has attracted attention in the past both as an occurrence of comparatively rare minerals and more recently as a possible source of uranium ore. During the summer of 1948 a newly-formed company by the name of Uranium, Inc., explored part of the deposit by bulldozer trenching and drilling. under the technical direction of the Minerals Engineering Company of Grand Junction, Colo. Examination of the significant exposures of the schroeckingerite deposit indicated that the uraniferous beds are discontinuous and that their areal distribution is erratic. The overburden has an average thickness of 2.5 feet.
