Abstract: The objectives of this study have been to determine the nature of the major fracture pattern of the Zuni uplift; to analyze this pattern for evidence of the mode of origin of the uplift; and to compare the fracturing in the ore areas with that elsewhere on the uplift to see whether diagnostic features exist hat might make it possible to indicate other favorable areas.

Preface: This report contains data and information on the resurvey effort and the effect of residual contamination as a result of nuclear weapons development programs conducted in this area.

Introduction: Studies of uranium-vanadium occurrences in the Four Corners region show that, with the exception of the Lukachuai area, all of the major deposits in the Morrison formation are grouped around the various igneous masses which are scattered irregularly throughout the Colorado Plateau. The pattern of deposition varies from mountain group to mountain group and each will be described separately. Maps accompany this report to supplement the descriptions of ore occurrences in the vicinity of the La Sal, Abajo, Carrizo, and Henry mountains. Elsewhere, it is believed that a written description will suffice.

From introduction: This final report .is organized in two logical sections: (a) Volume I, containing the survey description, specifications, data processing methods, interpretation methods, regional geologic review and regional survey results and (b) one volume, Volume II, for each of the three quadrangles covered by the Raton Basin Project Area. Each Volume II contains a detailed geologic summary, interpretation report, standard deviation maps, pseudo-contour maps, interpretation map, flight line and geologic base map, individual corrected profiles, computer map unit histograms and statistical tables.

Report of reconnaissance of the Albuquerque NTMS quadrangle through water and sediment samples collected from springs, wells, and streams. Samples analyzed for uranium and 42 other elements. This report is limited to samples containing uranium concentrations greater than the arbitrary anomaly thresholds of 5 parts per billion for waters and 6 parts per million for sediments.

From introduction: Approximately fifty radioactive deposits and nearly fifty properties not abnormally radioactive were examined during a geologic reconnaissance for radioactive minerals in Idaho, Washington, and western Montana during the period July 1952 -- June 1955. The most important uranium deposits are in or near granitic to quartz monzonitic intrusions of probable Cretaceous age in central and northern Idaho, westernmost Montana, and northeastern Washington. The purpose of these reports is to describe the geology of the areas so that the possibilities for the disposal of high-level radioactive fluid waste in deep wells can be ascertained.

Data collected as part of the hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance for the Silver City quadrangle, New Mexico including laboratory data on waters and sediments as well as field data.

Data collected as part of Brownfield quadrangle, New Mexico including laboratory data on waters and sediments as well as field data.

Report discussing an investigation of copper deposits in sandstone that were believed to be possibly uraniferous, and uraniferous asphaltite deposits.

From abstract: "Stratigraphic studies of the Triassic and associated formations have been made in southeastern Utah and adjoining parts of Colorado and Arizona. These studies have followed five principal lines of investigation: regional stratigraphy, sedimentary petrology, pebble studies, sedimentary structure studies, and lithofacies studies."

Appendices containing data on the availability of uranium in the Santa Fe Quadrangle to accompany a report on U.S. uranium resources in New Mexico.

From introduction: This report describes the results of water and sediment sampling within the New Mexico portions (or western halves) of the Hobbs'and Brownfield, New Mexico/Texas, National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) 1:250 000-scale quadrangles.

From introduction: This report describes work done in the Tularosa, New Mexico, National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) quadrangle (1:250 000 scale) by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) as part of the nationwide Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR).

From Abstract: "Field and laboratory data are presented for 452 water samples and 351 sediment samples from the Brownfield Quandrangle, New Mexico; Texas. Uranium values have been reported by Los Almos National Laboratory in Report GJBX-103(78). The samples were collected by Los Alamos National Laboratory; laboratory analysis and data reporting were performed by the Uranium Resource Evaluation Project at Oak Ridge, Tennessee."

Abstract: Field and laboratory data are presented for 405 water samples and 736 sediment samples from the Silver City Quadrangle, New Mexico; Arizona. Uranium values have been reported by Los Alamos National Laboratory in Report GJBX-69(78). The samples were collected by Los Alamos National Laboratory; laboratory analysis and data reporting were performed by the Uranium Resource Evaluation Project at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Appendix containing tables to accompany a report on an aerial gamma ray and magnetic survey in the Raton Basin in Arizona and New Mexico.

Preliminary 16 x 7.5 minute map of Part of the Carrizo Mountains Area, Northeastern Arizona, and Northwestern New Mexico, showing geology, roads, drainage, meridians and parallels, triangulation stations, and air-photo centers and wing points.

This report follows the analysis of uranium samples taken from the southern area of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico.

Preliminary 16 x 7.5 minute map of Part of the Carrizo Mountains Area, Northeastern Arizona, showing geology, roads, drainage, meridians and parallels, triangulation stations, and air-photo centers and wing points.

"Eight high-explosive charges weighing 8 to 1000 pounds were detonated in playa. Each event included 24 to 40 locations of tracer material in the expected crater region. The objective was to obtain data relating the origin of crater ejecta to its depositional location. Resulting data are presented for craters, ejecta areal densities, crater and ejecta mass quantities, tracer dispersion, and an empirical prediction model."
