Geology and Uranium Deposits of Part of the Browns Park Formation, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah: a Preliminary Report (open access)

Geology and Uranium Deposits of Part of the Browns Park Formation, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah: a Preliminary Report

From abstract: Uranium deposits and radioactivity anomalies have been found in the eastern half of the area underlain by the Browns Park formation in northwestern Colorado, south-central Wyoming, and northeastern Utah. The deposits are in eolian, lacustrine, and fluvial sandstones, tuffaceous sandstones, and limestones all of which were deposited on two converging pediments during Miocene time. At least one eastern and one western facies of lacustrine and fluvial sedimentary rocks are separated by a belt of eolian sandstones. The faces may be distinguished in the field and by petrographic and heavy-mineral studies in the laboratory.

Scintillation Spectrometer 2: Simultaneous Measurement of Uranium, Thorium and Potassium in Common Rocks (open access)

Scintillation Spectrometer 2: Simultaneous Measurement of Uranium, Thorium and Potassium in Common Rocks

From abstract: "A method is described for the simultaneous radioassay of the uranium and thorium series and potassium in common rocks, or materials of comparable activity, in which the series are in secular equilibrium. The method is based on the measurement of the counting rate in three bands of the photon energy spectrum derived from the gamma-ray excitation of a scintillation crystal."
