Abstract: Reconnaissance for uranium in coal and black shale in New Mexico during 1952 was largely an extension of work initiated during the 1951 field season. No uranium deposits of economic interest were found, although minor amounts of uranium were noted at several localities.

Report discussing the results of geological studies that have been conducted in the Clancy Creek in the Jefferson City Quadrangle of Jefferson County, Montana. The location is of interest due to the discovery of several radioactivity anomalies and secondary uranium minerals in the area.

Report discussing an exploratory drilling program in the Charles T. area and vicinity during the period from November 1947 and September 1949. "The purpose of the exploration was to discover new carnotite deposits to support milling operations on the Colorado Plateau, and to appraise the uranium and vanadium resources of the area explored."

A report about the optical properties of rutherfordine.

Report discussing a method for the volumetric estimation of the oil yield of oil-bearing shale. The method can be applied to both shale and phosphatic shale.

Report discussing the geology of the Wood vein and East Calhoun mine areas of Gilpin County, Colorado.

Report outlining information regarding uranium and geology of uranium. Sections include geochemistry of uranium, influence of orogeny on concentration of uranium, types of uranium deposits, and general criteria for prospecting.

Report discussing a comparison of three methods of sample splitting for grain counting: the microsplit, the cone splitter, and hand quartering.

Abstract: "All published data on the hafnium content and hafnium/zirconium ratio in minerals and rocks have been compiled." Information regarding hafnium and zirconium content and the ratio Hf/Zr in the earth's crust and in rocks as well as of minerals is included.

Report discussing the progress made on various geologic studies during the period from April 1 to June 30, 1952.

Report discussing the geology and numerous ore deposits of the Chicago Creek area in Clear Creek County, Colorado. Prior to this report, gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and uranium were produced from this area.

Report discussing the results of a geological study of the Idaho Springs-Central City area of the Front Range mineral belt. The study was still in progress at the time of publication.

A report regarding a geological survey of the geology and ore deposits of the Freeland-Lamartine District, Clear Creek County, Colorado. Concerns work done on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

Abstract: "A rapid-scanning microphotometer is described with which a 10-inch spectrum may be scanned in two minutes. The resulting chart may be 60, 300, or 1,500 cm long (wavelength scale) and 4 cm high (intensity scale). Commercially available components are used."

Report summarizing the general geologic relations of some uranium deposits in the San Juan Basin, speculating on the origin and localization of some individual deposits and the entire SanJuan Basin mineral belt, and attempting to appraise the chances for discoveries of additional deposits.

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.

A report discussing features of uranium that may be important in searching for and appraising deposits.

Report discussing the descriptive geology of three new formations of metamorphic rocks and details of about 420 pegmatites in the Fourmile area of Custer County, South Dakota.

From introduction: This report contains the results of a detailed geological and uranium deposits study made of the Monument Valley.

Abstract: "Lead-alpha activity age determinations were made on zircon from seven granitic rocks of central and southeastern Alaska. The results of the age determinations indicate two periods of igneous intrusion, one about 95 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, and another about 53 million years ago, during the early part of the Tertiary. The individual ages determined on zircon from 2 rocks from southeastern Alaska and 1 from east-central Alaska gave results of 90, 100, and 96 million years; those determined on 4 rocks from central Alaska gave results of 47, 56, 58, and 51 million years."

Report discussing uranium deposits and their origins. Sections include information regarding geochemistry of uranium, occurrence of uraniferous deposits, uraniferous igneous rocks, uranium in vein deposits, sandstone-type deposits, uraniferous coal and associated carbonaceous shale, and uraniferous marine sedimentary rocks.

Report discussing the U.S. Geological Survey's investigation of uranium occurrences, which were discovered after submission of a sample containing 0.068 percent uranium, at Clinton, New Jersey. Information produced from sampling, mapping and radioactivity testing is included.

Discussing occurrences of uranium at Clinton in Hunterdon County, New Jersey

Report discussing the W. Wilson mine, which contained quartz, chalcedony, and silicified quartz monzonite. Pitchblende was deposited in the vein of the mine and subsequently oxidized and hydrated.
