Description:
In 1981, Phil Anderson and Karl Wirth published a NURE report, 'Uranium potential in Precambrian Conglomerates of the Central Arizona Arch". We are now releasing six of the geologic and geochemical maps compiled during that study. Also provided is the original 550-p NURE report with data that accompanies these maps.
