Reconnaissance for Uranium-Bearing Carbonaceous Rocks in New Mexico, 1952 (open access)

Reconnaissance for Uranium-Bearing Carbonaceous Rocks in New Mexico, 1952

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.
