The Permian Phosphate Deposits of Western United States

Description: From abstract: The Permian marine phosphorite deposits of the western United States were laid down in the Phosphoria formation and its partial stratigraphic equivalents over an area of about 135,000 square miles in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada. The deposits in the eastern part of the field lie on the western margin of the structurally simple North American craton.

Domestic Phosphate Deposits

Description: From abstract: Incomplete but recently partly revised estimates indicate the presence of about 10 billion tons of phosphate deposits in the Urited States that is minable under present economic conditions. Deposits too lean in quality or thickness to compete with those in the western and southeastern fields probably contain tens of billions of tons.

The Geological Survey's Work on the Geology of Uranium and Thorium Deposits

Description: From abstract: The Geological Survey has been studying the geology of uranium and thorium continuously since 1939, when it began a comprehensive investigation of the vanadium-uranium deposits of the Colorado Plateau. Greatly increased demand for uranium arising from the advent of controlled fission in 1942 resulted in widening of the study in 1944 to include other possible sources and in further expansion on behalf of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission since 1947. The wide variety of materials… more

Progress Report on Investigations of Western Phosphate Deposits

Description: From abstract: A comprehensive investigation of the western phosphate deposits, in progress since 1947, involves a study of the Phosphoria and Park City formations over an area of about 135,000 square miles in the states of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah0 It was undertaken to acquire more data on the thickness, composition and quality, structure, and distribution of the deposits--data that would help industry select deposits suitable for mining and permit estimation of reserves, evaluation o… more

Synthesis and Properties of Carnotite and its Alkali Analogues

Description: A report which records the results of experiments dealing with the synthesis of carnotite and its alkali analogues. The work was primarily concerned with the preparation of single crystals suitable for detailed structural analysis, though some insight into the chemistry of the precipitation of carnotite was obtained.
