The Equation of Continuity in Geology With Applications to the Transport of Radioactive Gas (open access)

The Equation of Continuity in Geology With Applications to the Transport of Radioactive Gas

From abstract: "The transport of matter by fluids percolating through a porous medium is described by setting up a mass conservation equation, analogous to that of hydrodynamics, for each of the substances in question... The results are applied to some selected data from the Texas Panhandle gas field."

Geology and Uranium Occurrences in the Miller Hill Area, Carbon County, Wyoming (open access)

Geology and Uranium Occurrences in the Miller Hill Area, Carbon County, Wyoming

Abstract: Uranium occurs in the North Park(?) formation of Pliocene(?) age in the Miller Hill area, about 25 miles south of Rawlins, Carbon County, Wyo. As much as 0. 5 percent uranium is contained in grab samples, but only about 1000 tons of rock are known to contain as much as 0. 03 percent uranium. Beds of brecciated, silicified limestone 3 to 10 feet thick contain the principal concentrations of uranium. Lesser concentrations are found in calcareous sandstone and quartzite. Uranophane, Ca(UOz)2SizO 7 . 6HZO, the principal uranium'mineral, has been deposited in vugs, as fracture and surface coatings, and as a disseminated constituent of the rock. Uranium also occurs in quantities too small to be megascopically visible in dark-colored chalcedony, lime stone, sandstone, and quartzite beds.

Regional Geophysical Investigations of the Uravan Area, Colorado (open access)

Regional Geophysical Investigations of the Uravan Area, Colorado

From introduction: Geophysical surveys have been made in the Uravan area, in southwest Colorado, with the aim of providing information on regional geology, especially on those aspects that may not be apparent from surface evidence alone. Aeromagnetic surveys were made in 1952, and regional gravity surveys were made during the summers of 1953 and 1954. Figure 1 shows the area covered. Information on surface geology was obtained from publications, from geologists working on the Colorado Plateau, and from personal observations.
