Aerial gamma ray amd magnetic survey: Muncie quadrangle, Indiana and Ohio. Final report

Technical Report · Mon Dec 01 04:00:00 EST 1980

OSTI ID:6949070

The Muncie quadrangle covers some 7250 square miles of area in Indiana and Ohio within the Midwestern Physiographic Province. The region contains a thin to moderately thick section of Paleozoic sediments which are almost entirely covered by surficial Pleistocene glacial deposits. No known uranium deposits are known to occur in the quadrangle. Radiometric data appear to reflect the glacial history of the area. 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 appear to principally reflect the depth to, and complexities of, the Precambrian basement.
