Two appendixes accompanying the report "National Uranium Resource Evaluation, Winnemucca Quadrangle, Nevada." Appendix A is a table describing the location and other data for 19 uranium occurrences in the quadrangle. Appendix B-2 includes the location and geologic codes for rock samples collected for the report.

Tables showing data such as location, elemental analyses, and peralkaline indices in ppm for rock and water samples collected in the quadrangle for the report "National Uranium Resource Evaluation, Winnemucca Quadrangle, Nevada: Appendix."

Tables listing laboratory and field KUT data, including eTh/eU. Th/U, and eU/cU ratios, for samples collected from the Winnemucca quadrangle.

Reports providing data for 1 uranium occurrences in the Winnemucca Quadrangle, including description, uranium analysis, exact location, deposit type, and features of the host rock.

Tables showing the percentage of mineral components for samples collected int the Winnemucca Quadrangle.

Tables showing the normative indices of quartz, orthoclase, albite, anorthite, nephelene, and leucite for samples collected from the Winnemucca Quadrangle along with the differentiation index for each sample.

A report discussing the results of an investigation indicating environments favorable for hydroallogenic uranium deposits in the Fish Creek Basin sedimentary rocks of Miocene age and for hydroallogenic and sandstone uranium deposits in the Home Station Wash sedimentary rocks of Miocene age.

This report summarizes results on surveys taken by the U.S. Geological Survey made to determine the seismic velocity, electrical resistivity, and preliminary geology of rock in the U12n.03 tunnel, Nevada Test Site.

This report presents the results of detailed sampling of soils, rocks, and dry lake bed material from the area of Jean Dry Lake in southern Nevada.

Tabular data reporting soil analyses, auger sample analyses, and rock analyses gathered from the area of Jean Dry Lake in southern Nevada (see pages 4 and 5 of report).

From Introduction: "The elimination of the burn hazard in shelters depends upon a separate, systematic investigation of each suspected agent. The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the contribution made by radiant energy and, if such contribution proved to be significant, to suggest means of eliminating this component."

This is a photo-geologic map of the Skull Mountain Quadrangle at the Nevada Test Site.

Collection of reports on Death Valley, the bordering region of California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Reports include birds, reptiles and Batrachians, fishes, insects, mollusks, trees and shrubs, cactuses and yuccas, and list of localities in the reports.

The following report is the first of two volumes describing the program and results of the airborne gamma and total magnetic field surveys of the Reno quadrangle conducted between October 4-November 10, 1977.

The following report covers geological studies on the USGS and Rainier tunnel areas in the Nevada Test Site.

Geologic map of the Topopah Spring Southwest quadrangle, Nevada with notations for specific topographic features and profile views. Scale 1:24,000.

From abstract: Project Dugout was a chemical explosive row charge cratering experiment in hard rock conducted at the AEC Nevada Test Site as part of the Plowshare Program for development of nuclear excavation technology.

The Topopah Spring and Timber Mountain 15-minute quadrangles comprising about 500 square miles in southern Nye County, Nev., are bounded by longitudes 116°15' W. and 116°30' W. and by latitudes 36°45' N. and 37°15' N. (fig. 1) The quadrangles are mostly within the Nevada Test Site and are approximately 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas (fig. 1). Lathrop Wells, the nearest town, is about 10 miles south of the southern boundary of the Topopah Spring quadrangle.

From abstract: This report presents the results of the geochemical reconnaissance sampling in the Winnemucca 10 x 20 quadrangle of the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS). We collected wet and dry sediment samples throughout the 18,770-km2 arid to semi-arid area and water samples at available streams, springs and wells. We present neutron activation analyses of uranium and trace elements and other measurements made in the field and laboratory in tabular hardcopy and microfiche format. The report includes 5 full-size overlays for use with the Winnemucca NTMS 1:250,000 quadrangle. Water sampling sites, water-sample uranium and thorium concentrations, sediment sampling sites, and sediment-sample total uranium and thorium concentrations are shown on the separate overlays. We present general geological and structural descriptions of the area, and describe the 12 known uranium occurrences.

Supplementary data containing information on uranium concentrations in sediment samples to accompany a report on hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance in the Winnemucca Quadrangle, Nevada.

From introduction: The purpose of this study was to map the geology of the (Sedan) crater shell and relate the information gained to shell configuration and cratering mechanics. Hopefully, the data presented will be of use in planning future nuclear cratering experiments.

Introduction: The chemical character of ground water depends to a large degree upon the character of the rock formations through which the water moves. The composition of the water is the result of several solutional and decompositional processes.

From abstract: Numerous discontinuous layers of opal are interbedded with a gently-dipping series of vitric tuff and ash which is at least 300 feet thick. The tuff and ash are capped by a dark, vesicular basalt in the eastern part of the area and by a thin layer of terrace gravels in the area along the west side of Virgin Valley.
