Uraniferous schists of the Alsacian side of Vosges mountains; Les schistes uraniferes du versant Alsacien des Vosges Moyennes

Abstract

Since the discover of uraniferous schists in 1951 in the Ribeauville region (Haut-Rhin), the atomic energy commission has been interested in low content uranium deposits. It originated in France a new interest in uranium sedimentary deposit which were, until now, of a less interest than deposits in crystalline vein-stone. A general description of the oriental versant of Vosges mountains is given and a petrographical and tectonic study is described as well as the mineralization and radioactivity of the region. It studied in particular the uranium deposits near the Schaentzel summit. An historic of the local research is given as well as a study of the borings. A description of the different rock formations, which have been found on the site, is given: sandstone, schists, arkoses, granites. A comparison of the Schaentzel uraniferous schists with other known uraniferous schists is made. finally, interpretations of the study and origin of the uraniferous mineralization in Schaentzel sedimentary deposits are discussed.
