Report discussing investigations seeking uranium in deposits of black shale around the geographical areas of the Western States

From introduction: The primary object of this work was to aid prospectors and mining men in finding and exploiting new deposits of uranium-bearing ores in the Colorado Plateau region, particularly of those in the Shinarump and Moss Black members of the Chinle formation.

This is a geological map of the uranium region of the Colorado Plateau.

Report summarizing information regarding the mineralogy of uranium ores of the Colorado Plateau. The report includes sections on classification, mineralogy of the primary unoxidized ores, oxidation sequence and mineralogy of vanadiferous uranium ores, mineralogy of oxidized nonvanadiferous uranium ores, relation of oxidation to water saturation of ore, relative stability and size of oxidized deposits, secondary enrichment, and time and depth of oxidation.

The following document provides a mineralogical and geological map of the Colorado Plateau providing deposits and groups of deposits that have been found to produce 1,000 tons or more of uranium-vanadium within December 31, 1953.

Report discussing uranium oxides, their thermodynamic relations, and how these relations connect to the oxidation states of uranium ores found at the Colorado Plateaus. This report provides information regarding thermodynamic properties of some compounds and ions of the U-O-H2O system, discussion and interpretation of thermodynamic properties, and a summary with conclusion.

The following report covers the study of electrical properties of the Morrison formation in the Uravan mineral belt of the Colorado Plateau to determine if there are anomalous variations in these properties in and near zones of uranium-vanadium minerals which might serve as a target for geophysical prospecting.

Report discussing an investigation of copper deposits in sandstone that were believed to be possibly uraniferous, and uraniferous asphaltite deposits.

From abstract: "Stratigraphic studies of the Triassic and associated formations have been made in southeastern Utah and adjoining parts of Colorado and Arizona. These studies have followed five principal lines of investigation: regional stratigraphy, sedimentary petrology, pebble studies, sedimentary structure studies, and lithofacies studies."

Report discussing the investigation of the chemical composition of sandstone-type uranium ores and unmineralized sandstones of the Colorado Plateau. Spectrographic and chemical analyses was used.
