Minor Elements in Some Rocks, Ores, and Mill and Smelter Products

Report discussing spectrographic analyses of rocks, ores, mill products, and smelter products. From Abstract: "The analyses are grouped by states and by major raw mineral raw materials. The samples vary widely in character and in kind of material. They were analyzed chiefly by spectrographic methods, the accuracy of which increased during the later stages of the work."

Reconnaissance of Geology and Uranium Occurrences of the Upper Alamosa Creek Valley : Catron County, New Mexico

From abstract: "The Crevasse Canyon formation and Point Lookout(?) sandstone of Late Cretaceous age and the Baca and Datil formations of Tertiary age were mapped in an area of 168 square miles in the upper Alamosa Creek Valley along the northern edge of the Datil Mountains, Catron County, N. Mex. The investigation was made to determine the potentialities of the area for producing uranium and to learn the geologic controls for the concentration of uranium."

The Fluorapatite System of Equilibria in the Conditions of Formation of Sedimentary Rocks (open access)

The Fluorapatite System of Equilibria in the Conditions of Formation of Sedimentary Rocks

From translator's abstract: "As part of unified research on the behavior of the fluoride ion in sedimentary rocks, the present study deals with the system CaO-P2O5-HF-H20 at 25 degrees C. under conditions of sea sedimentation. The precipitated phases, their fields of crystallization and stability, the fluorine-phosphorus coefficient, and the isomorphism of fluorhydroxl ions in the apatite lattice are considered and illustrated by orthogonal projections."
