Uranium Content of Chattanooga Shale in East-Central Tennessee and Southern Kentucky (open access)

Uranium Content of Chattanooga Shale in East-Central Tennessee and Southern Kentucky

From abstract: Uranium assays of all the samples collected by the Geological Survey from the Chattanooga shale in east-central Tennessee and southern Kentucky from 1947 to 1949 are assembled here, and conclusions are drawn concerning the distribution of the uranium. The 1108 assays from 80 localities provide reasonably reliable information on the stratigraphic and regional variations of the uranium content.
