AbstractAbstract
[en] Field and laboratory data are presented for 677 groundwater and 516 stream sediment samples. Statistical and areal distributions of uranium and possible uranium-related variables are displayed. A generalized geologic map of the survey area is provided, and pertinent geologic factors which may be of significance in evaluating the potential for uranium mineralization are briefly discussed. Groundwater data indicate that the most promising area for potential uranium mineralization occurs in the western part of the quadrangle. Rocks in this area belong to the Permian Garber Sandstone and Hennessey Group. Many areas of high-uranium concentration also occur in the west-central part of the quadrangle in rocks of the Permian age Wellington Formation. The associated elements indicate that anomalous uranium in groundwater is probably derived from continental sandstone facies. Stream sediment data show high-uranium values occurring primarily in the north-central area of the quadrangle. Rocks cropping out in this area belong to the Pennsylvanian Ada Group through the Permian Garber Sandstone, but high-uranium concentrations do not appear to be limited to any one geologic unit. The associated elements indicate that anomalous uranium may be derived from phosphatic rocks and from heavy and resistate minerals
