From abstract: Drilling at the Project GNOME site, which is in the approximate center of sec. 34, T. 23 S., R. 30 E., NMPM, was undertaken in August and September 1958 by the W-W Drilling Company. The purpose of drilling this hole, which is at the precise location of the proposed shaft, was to determine (1) the lithologic and water-bearing characteristics of the rocks of Cenozoic, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic age that lie above the salt-bearing sequence in the Salado formation; (2) the depth to the top of the unleached salt and associated evaporites in the Salado formation; and (3) the local details of the salt-bearing sequence in the Salado formation.

From abstract: This report describes geologic and oceanographic factors relevant to the selection of a site in northwestern Alaska, at which an experimental harbor can be created by the explosion of a nuclear device. Part I describes the results of a preliminary survey of the entire coastal and offshore region between Nome and Point Barrow: Part II consists of a more detailed evaluation of the Cape Thompson-Cape Seppings area; and Part III is a theoretical consideration of the effect of the ocean upon the temperature and distribution of permafrost. The report is based entirely upon the study of published and unpublished reports, field notes, and maps, interviews with the few geologists who have visited the region, and the interpretation of aerial photographs.

From foreword: This report details geologic investigations of radioactive deposits in the United States.

From introduction: The information presented in this report is mainly a synthesis of material that has been published on various portions of the northeastern United States underlain by salt deposits.

From abstract: This report describes the Rainier underground test of September 19, 1957 conducted at the Nevada Test Site with a 1.7 kiloton nuclear device.

From abstract: The Rainy Day mine in the Circle Cliffs area, Utah, is developed Dn a long slender pod of uranium ore. Ore is localized in siltstone of the Moenkopi formation of Triassic age, on the south edge of a channel about 3,300 feet wide by 40 feet deep that is filled with sandstone of the Shinarump member of the Chinle formation of Triassic age. Shale of the Chinle rests directly on siltstone of the Moenkopi on either side of the channel.

A report which refers to a study that indicated there is a significant correlation between electrical resistivity and the relative favorability for occurrence of ore.

A report about the absorption spectra of the thallium-dithizone mixed-color system. An analytical procedure based on this system is given which is applicable to pure solutions.

A report about a geometry based on the reciprocal lattice concept and geometrical construction of Ewald needed for the interpretation of transmission electron-diffraction single-crystal patterns.

The following report covers investigations on sedimentary rocks of Middle Pennsylvanian age in northeastern Oklahoma, southeastern Kansas, and western Missouri. Distribution of uranium and other trace elements in these rocks was studied during 1955 and 1956.

Abstract: "Monazite placers in the western Piedmont of North and South Carolina were explored by the U. S. Geological Survey in 1951-54 and are estimated to contain at least 53,000 short tons of ThO2 and 4,600 short tons of U3O8. None of these deposits is being mined."

Abstract: "This bibliography supplements the information on salt published in U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1019-J, "Annotated Bibliography and Index Map of Salt Deposits in the United States," by Walter B. Lang, 1957. The supplement contains additional information on the salt deposits of the United States and of foreign countries, as well as data on the composition, chemistry, geologic occurrences, geophysical exploration, distribution, technology, and production of salt. Additional supplements will be issued from time to time to keep information on these subjects current."

A report about the U. S. Geological Survey's program about uranium investigations and geologic mapping in the Monument Valley area, Arizona. A resource appraisal of the area was an inherent part of the program, and is detailed in this report.

The following report covers studies and investigations of uranium deposits in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming. The ore minerals include carnotite, tyuyamunite, metatyuyamunite, corvusite, rauvite, uraninite, and coffinite, as well as minor amounts of other uranium and vanadium minerals.
