Coal Geology of the White Oak Quadrangle, Magoffin and Morgan Counties, Kentucky (open access)

Coal Geology of the White Oak Quadrangle, Magoffin and Morgan Counties, Kentucky

From abstract: The White Oak quadrangle lies near the western edge of the eastern Kentucky coalfield and includes approximately 59 square miles of parts of Magoffin and Morgan Counties, Ky. The outcropping rocks are equivalent to most of the Breathitt formation of Pennsylvanian age. The regional southeast dip of the rocks is interrupted by the Irvine-Paint Creek fault, the Caney anticline, the Grape Creek syncline, and the Johnson Creek fault.

Determination of Thorium in the Parts Per Million Range in Rocks (open access)

Determination of Thorium in the Parts Per Million Range in Rocks

Abstract: "A procedure for the determination of thorium in the concentration range of 0.2 to 10 parts per million ThO2 in felsic or mafic rocks. Thorium is extracted by mesityl oxide and purified by iodate precipitation from nitric acid medium containing tartaric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The thorium is determined spectrophotometrically with thoron from meso-tartaric acid medium."
