Surface sediment samples were collected at 1418 sites, at a target sampling density of one site per 13 square kilometers. Ground water samples were collected at 143 sites. Neutron activation analysis results are given for uranium and 16 other elements in sediments, and for uranium and 9 other elements in ground water. Mass spectrometry results are given for helium in ground water. Field measurements and observations are reported for each site. Analytical data and field measurements are presented in tables and maps. Data from ground water sites include (1) water chemistry measurements (pH, conductivity, and alkalinity) (2) physical measurements where applicable (water temperature, well description, and scintillometer reading) and (3) elemental analyses (U, Al, Br, Cl, Dy, F, He, Mg, Mn, Na, and V). Data from sediment sites include (1) stream water chemistry measurements from sites where water was available and (2) elemental analyses for sediment samples (U, Th, Hf, Al, Ce, Dy, Eu, Fe, La, Lu, Mn, Sc, Sm, Na, Ti, V, and Yb). Sample site descriptors are given. Areal distribution maps, histograms, and cumulative frequency plots for most elements; U/Th and U/Hf ratios; and scintillometer readings at sediment sample sites are included. The Salina 1/sup 0/ x 2/sup 0/ quadrangle is underlain by gently folded sedimentary and volcanic rocks. In this quadrangle, many uranium deposits have been discovered in ancient sandstone-filled river channels. The principle host formations are the Chinle Formation of Triassic age and the Morrison Formation of Jurassic age.
