Hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance basic data for Waco NTMS quadrangle, Texas
Results of a reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Waco Quadrangle are reported. Field and laboratory data are presented for 218 groundwater and 614 stream sediment samples. Statistical and areal distribution 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 uranium concentrations above the 85th percentile occur primarily in the Upper cretaceous units (Navarro, Taylor, and Woodbine Groups) and Lower Cretaceous carbonate units (Fredricksburg and Wilcox Groups). Saline water trends are also prominent in these units. Stream sediment data indicate high uranium concentrations occur in the western portion of the quadrangle. Most of the samples with high uranium values are collected from the Upper and Lower Cretaceous and Tertiary units. Associated with the high uranium values are high concentrations of aluminum, chromium, iron, scandium, yttrium, zinc, and zirconium.
