Aerial gamma ray and magnetic survey: Miami and Key West quadrangles, Florida. Final report

Technical Report · Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:6484682

The combination Miami and Key West quadrangles cover 4400 square miles of area at the southern tip of peninsular Florida. The area includes moderate to extremely thick sections of Cenozoic and Mesozoic platform deposits of the Southern Florida Sedimentary Basin. Surficial exposures are comprised of Miocene to Recent deposits. A search of the available literature revealed no economically feasible uranium deposits within the area. A total of 16 uranium anomalies were detected by the survey and are discussed briefly. All anomalies are extremely low in equivalent ppM values and a large number correlate well with cultural features. The magnetic data appear to be in general agreement with present structural interpretation. The data do suggest that some lithologic and/or structural complexities may be present in the Paleozoic and older basement material.
