During the months of September and October, 1979, EG and G geoMetrics collected 8866 line miles of high sensitivity airborne radiometric and magnetic data. Data were gathered primarily within the state of Texas, in three 1 x 2 degree NTMS quadrangles. This project is part of the Department of Energy's National Uranium Resource Evaluation Program. All radiometric and magnetic data were fully corrected and interpreted by geoMetrics and are presented as four Volumes (one Volume I and three Volume II's). The quadrangles are dominated by Cretaceous and Tertiary marine sediments. The cretaceous rocks are largely shallow marine sediments of biogenic origin, whereas the Tertiary sequence represents transgressing shelf and slope deposits. No uranium deposits are known in this area (Schnabel, 1955).
