General and Engineering Geology of the Wray Area, Colorado and Nebraska (open access)

General and Engineering Geology of the Wray Area, Colorado and Nebraska

From abstract: Most of the formations in the Wray area are fair foundation materials, although good construction materials are scarce. The gravel of the Grand Island formation and the gravels in the Ogallala formation contain large quantities of clay, silt, sand, and calcium carbonate, and have very few pebbles larger than one-half inch in diameter.

A Preliminary Determination of the Age of Some Colorado Plateau Uranium Ores by the Lead-Uranium Method

Report discussing a geological investigation of the age of Colorado Plateau uranium ores using the lead-uranium methods. The objective of the study was to determine whether the uranium deposits in the Shinarump conglomerate are late Triassic and that those in the Morrison formation are late Jurassic, or whether all deposits are late Cretaceous to early Tertiary.

Preliminary Report on 1952 Field Investigations in Wet Mountains, Colorado

From page 3: A metallogenic province containing thorium in veins in pre-Cambrian rocks along the western slope of the Wet Mountains, Colo. found by the Reconnaissance Group of the U. S. Geological Survey during the summer of 1950,was revealed by the discovery during fiscal-years 1951-1952 of seventeen radioactive deposits scattered along a north-northwest linear distance of twenty miles. All the thorium occurrences were found within terrain that has never been geologically mapped. Three of the most promising localities were mapped at 1:1,200, and a diamond-drilling program was conducted at Haputa ranch.

From introduction: Field work, begun in the field season of 1951, was continued by the U. S. Geological Survey in the White Canyon area, San Juan County, Utah, from May 1 to October 28, 1952, The objectives of this work were to study the habits and character of uranium deposits in the area, to determine control and guides to ore and suitable areas for physical exploration, and to map and study the ore-bearing and adjacent strata to determine the regional geologic controls and habits of the uranium deposits, The White Canyon project is part of a regional mapping program on the Colorado Plateau being conducted by the Geological Survey on behalf of the U.

Preliminary Report on Lost Creek Schroeckingerite Area, Sweetwater County, Wyoming

Introduction: This report is a summary of the field work at the Lost Creek schroeckingerite deposit, Sweetwater County, Wyo. from July 1 through November 22, 1952. The objectives of field work at Lost Creek during the report period were to obtain additional data for calculating tonnage and grade and to obtain additional information on the controls and localization of schroeckingerite. In order to accomplish these objectives the Survey continued the exploration by means of trenching, mapped all trench walls (scale 1:120), mapped the exploration area at scales of 1:2400 and 1:9600, and carried on an extensive sampling program.
