Aerial gamma ray and magentic survey, Vicennes quadrangle, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. Final report

Technical Report · Sun Mar 01 04:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:6555522

The Vincennes quadrangle covers 7000 square miles of Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky within the southeastern Midwestern Physiographic Province. The region contains a moderate to thick section of Paleozoic sediments, which are covered by surficial Quaternary glacial deposits in the western half of the area. A search of available literature revealed no known uranium deposits. Eighty-eight uranium anomalies were detected and are discussed briefly. The average concentrations of potassium, uranium, and thorium are moderate at best. All anomalies appear culturally induced, and none appear to represent significant concentrations of uranium. The magnetic data appears to principally reflect the depth and complexities of the Precambrian basement.
