From introduction: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the economic possibilities of radioactive lignites and to determine the geologic factors controlling the accumulation of uranium in lignite.

A report about uranium-bearing lignite beds that occur at many horizons in the Hell Creek formation of late Cretaceous age and the overlying Ludlow, Tongue River, and Sentinel Butte members of the Fort Union formation of Paleocene age.

A report about a new mineral called metatyuyamunite which is a dehydration product of tyuyamunite. This mineral has been collected from more than 35 localities in the Colorado Plateaus,several localities in Fall River County, S. Dakota, and Campbell and Johnson Counties, Wyo.

From abstract: "In 1953 the Chattanooga shale in the Sequatchie anticline was tested for its uranium content by seven diamond drill cores. Concurrent with the drilling, geologic field work was done to determine the distribution, thickness, and structural setting of the shale." The report contains information regarding location and drainage, geology, the drilling program, subdivisions of the Sequatchie anticline, and unpublished reports.

Report discussing a method for using benzidine to identify altered tuff in sandstone. The method is "practical for field or field laboratory studies associated with stratigraphic correlations, mineral deposit investigations, or paleogeographic interpretations."

Abstract: Data are presented to show that no appreciable loss of uranium occurs when uranium-bearing carbonaceous materials undergo oxidative ashing under routine conditions and with routine care.

A report about uranium bearing coal in the Allison-Gibson members of the Cretaceous Mesaverde formation which crops out in erosional remnants of the mesa.

Report discussing the occurrence and analysis of bastnaesite in the Redstone granite of the Sterling batholith near Westerly, Rhode Island.

From Abstract: "Age determinations have been made on 21 crystals of gem quality zircon from Ceylon which are believed to have been derived from pegmatites of pre-Cambrian age."

"The results of an investigation of the Chattanooga shale along the Sequatchie anticline of Tennessee and Alabama are summarized in this report. The project was of an exploratory nature designed to 1) obtain fresh core samples from areas where analyses of outcrop samples showed uranium contents as high or higher than those of the Youngs Bend area in DeKalb County, Tenn.; 2) learn more about the distribution and thickness of the shale in those areas and, if necessary, do some geologic mapping; 3) observe general topographic, drainage, and geologic conditions that would affect the mining of shale."
