Numerous carbonaceous trash and dinosaur bones. Smaller carbon pieces are coalified while larger trees are silicified. Uranium is associated with the tarry organic material.
Structure: Post-Ore Faults With Strikes Ranging From N 10 W To N 40 E And Displacements From A Few Inches To 75 Ft. Cut The Orebodies But No Ore Has Been Found Stacked Along Fault Planes.
Commodity: Analytical data from falkowski, 1980 p. 235
Deposit: Deposits occur in six eastward-trending orebodies composed of many smaller parallel and subparallel pods, ore rolls and manto-like sheets. Orebodies range from 200 ft. To 1800 ft. Long, 75 ft. To 900 ft. Wide, and 4 ft. To 12 ft. Thick. The largest orebody and the three smallest ones are in sec. 18. Pods and ore rolls range from 3 ft. To 50 ft. Long and from 4 ft. To 5 ft. Thick. Sheets up to 12 ft. Thick occur. The westwater canyon sandstone contains pods and some ore rolls, the poison canyon sandstone contains pods and some sheets. Nmbmmr bull 105 is an annotated bibliography of the grants uranium region, n.m., 1950 to 1972. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept
Development: Ore bodies discovered and delineated by drilling and geophysical logging. Reported to be a 750 ton per day operation.
Geology: Ore occurs in the westwater canyon and brushy basin (poison canyon sandstone) members of the morrison fm.
Rock formation(s): Morrison
Ore(s): Fluviatile Channel Sandstone And Carbonaceous Material (Humate).
