Masters Theses
"This thesis deals with the geology of the Diamond No. 2 Mine east of Gallup, New Mexico. The sedimentary rocks ranging from Triassic to Cretaceous are described in relation to the local stratigraphic setting.
The Dakota formation is the host rock of the ore deposit, and was therefore studied in detail with regard to its petrographic nature and the sedimentary structures such as slumping. Special emphasis is placed on the study of the relationships between the uranium and vanadium deposit and the host rock. Geometrical and geochemical criteria are offered in order to explain the local genesis of the ore …
