Existing multielement spectrographic and chemical analyses of samples from the Morrison Formation were used to determine the chemical characteristics of primary and secondary uranium ore, barren sandstones, and mineralized and unmineralized mudstones. The analyses were for 696 sandstone samples and 32 mudstone samples from mines in the Ambrosia Lake area of New Mexico, 100 other sandstone samples from the Ambrosia Lake area, and 321 sandstone samples from elsewhere in the San Juan basin. Statistical treatment of the data indicates that organic carbon,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
