Thorium and Rare-Earth Minerals in Powderhorn District, Gunnison County, Colorado (open access)

Thorium and Rare-Earth Minerals in Powderhorn District, Gunnison County, Colorado

From abstract: Thorium has been found since 1949 in at least 33 deposits in an area 6 miles wide and 20 miles long in the Powderhorn district, Gunnison County, Colo. The district is underlain largely by pre-Jurassic metamorphic and igneous rocks, most of which, if not all, are pre-Cambrian in age. These rocks are overlain by sandstone of the Morrison formation of Jurassic age, and by volcanic rocks of the Alboroto group and the Hinsdale formation of Miocene and of Pliocene(?) age, respectively.

Analyses of Coals in the United States with Descriptions of Mine and Field Samples Collected between July 1, 1904 and June 30, 1910 Part 2. Descriptions of Samples

From Introduction: "This volume contains the descriptions of the samples whose analyses are published in the preceding volume, Part I of this bulletin. The descriptions have been compiled from the notebooks of the persons who collected the samples, have been condensed from accounts given in published reports of the United States Geological Survey, or have furnished by the collection themselves. Inasmuch as the descriptions represent the work of many persons during a period of six years, and inasmuch as they were recorded under widely differing conditions, they necessarily vary in fullness detail."

Thorium and rare earth minerals in the Powderhorn district, Gunnison County, Colorado (open access)

Thorium and rare earth minerals in the Powderhorn district, Gunnison County, Colorado

"Thorium deposits were discovered in the Powderhorn district in 1949. This district has long been known for its occurrences of alkalic igneous rocks, of which the best known is the Iron Hill complex (Larsen, 1942). Some of these alkalic rocks contain titanium, barium, strontium, rare earths, thorium, and niobium in greater percentages than those of most igneous rocks. A study of the thorium deposits was undertaken to obtain more information on the geologic relation of minor elements, particularly rare earths, and thorium, to alkalic igneous rocks, and to evaluate the economic significance of the Thorium deposits."
