Report presenting the test pit logs and additional laboratory analysis results for a uranium distribution investigation of sedimentary facies in Kern Lake, California. Test pit logs record the sample data, visual geographic log and descriptions of specified regions in the area. Tables of laboratory analysis record the surface depth and percentage of sand, silt, clay, and carbon samples for trench samples collected for the study.

From purpose and scope: The purpose of this project was to determine the uranium favorability of Mesozoic intrusive rocks and Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary rocks in the central Mojave Desert. The project was conducted by Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (BFEC) under the auspices of the Grand Junction Office of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA). The scope of the project included determination of the uranium content of different rock types, determination of the nature and extent of rock characteristics favorable for the formation of uranium deposits, and examination of known uranium deposits.
