Hydrogeochemical and stream sediment reconnaissance basic data for Lincoln NTMS quadrangle, Nebraska; Kansas
Results of a reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Lincoln Quadrangle are reported. Field and laboratory data are presented for 577 groundwater and 754 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 no favorable areas for uranium mineralization. Groundwater samples with anomalous uranium values are widely scattered across the quadrangle and do not appear to follow a geologic unit or trend. Eighty-five percent of the groundwater samples were collected from Quaternary material, which accounts for the lack of variation in the groundwater data. Stream sediment data do not show any large clusters of high uranium concentrations but indicate individual high uranium values distributed throughout the quadrangle. Anomalous total uranium values appear to be related to anomalous titanium and zirconium values. Ninety-six percent of the stream sediment samples were derived from the Quaternary sediments which blanket the Lincoln Quadrangle. No favorable areas for uranium exploration are indicated by the stream sediment data.
