Distribution and Origin of Phosphate in the Land-Pebble Phosphate District of Florida (open access)

Distribution and Origin of Phosphate in the Land-Pebble Phosphate District of Florida

From abstract: The land-pebble phosphate district of Florida is a part of the Gulf Coastal Plain. The geologic formations cropping out in the district are the Miocene Hawthorn, Pliocene Bone Valley, and Pleistocene terrace sands. The Bone Valley formation consists of a lower strongly phosphatic unit and an upper less phosphatic unit. This paper is concerned principally with the lower unit, which contains the bulk of the minable phosphate deposits of the district.

[Maps of Metal-Mining Districts in Colorado]

Three maps illustrating distribution of metal deposits in metal-mining districts in Colorado. The first map is a geological survey indicating uranium deposits, rock characteristics, and the location of the Central Mining District in relationship to counties in Colorado. The second map shows pitchblende deposits and bostonite dikes in the Front Range Mineral Belt near Central City, Colorado. The third map near indicates the locations of pitchblende deposits alongside metal vein systems near Central City, Colorado

The Occurrence of Zeunerite at Brooks Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska (open access)

The Occurrence of Zeunerite at Brooks Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Abstract: Zeunerite occurs near the surface of a granite stock on the southwest flank of Brooks Mountain, Alaska. The largest deposit is at the Foggy Day prospect where zeunerite is disseminated in hematite which partially or totally fills openings and vugs in a highly oxidized lensshaped body of pegmatitic granite and to a minor extent in openings and cracks in the weathered granite enclosing the lens. Although a few specimens from the pegmatitic lens contain as high as 2.1 percent equivalent uranium, the overall average content of the lens rock is between 0.1 and 0.2 percent equivalent uranium and about 0.07 percent equivalent uranium for both the lens material and the surrounding zeunerite-bearing granite.

Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Lost River Area, Seward Peninsula, Alaska (open access)

Reconnaissance for Uranium in the Lost River Area, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Abstract: Reconnaissance for uranium in the Lost River area, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, during the 1951 field season revealed the presence of minor amounts of radioactive material in mineralized portions of rhyolitic dikes and in a small iron-enriched zone in limestone. The dikes contain as much as 0.01 percent equivalent uranium locally and average 00005 percent equivalent uranium. The radioactive material occurs as a secondary hematitic coating of the dike rock. The iron-enriched zone has an average content of about 0.06 percent equivalent uranium with the radioactive material occuring in limonite, hematite, goethite, and mimetite. The radioactivity of these minerals is due to the presence of uranium as an impurity. No uranium deposits of economic importance were found.

Uranium in the Metal-Mining Districts of Colorado

"This paper summarizes the results of the field studies of the Survey's Reconnaissance Group and outlines some geologic criteria that may be useful in guiding the search for uranium ore. The writers wish to acknowledge the cooperation of the minding companies and individuals who materially aided the program of investigations by reporting radioactive localities and by submitting samples of radioactive rocks and ores."
