Creators

Description

Chattanooga shale samples from DeKalb County, Tennessee, were studied with an electron microprobe. Preliminary results show that uranium in concentrations up to 130 ppM is not dispersed uniformly within the kerogen or inorganic matrix. Distinct uranium minerals, such as uraninite, apatite, and titanium bearing oxides, ranging in size from 3 to 180 μm, are evident on shale surface exposed by polishing. 10 figures
