Abstract
Uranium Geology of the Kaycee Area, Johnson County, Wyoming
Abstract
Uranium and vanadium mineralization of significant economic potential is developed in sandstones and conglomerates of the Fort Union and Wasatch Formations east and northeast of Kaycee, Wyoming. There is an exceptionally well-developed complex of sands in the Fort Union which is brightly colored in tints of red caused by hematite staining. These red sands were altered by oxidizing waters which carried uranium and vanadium in solution.
The aggregate thickness of altered sandstones in the Fort Union is 900 feet in the middle of the complex, and the alteration is exposed for a distance of 15 miles along the outcrop.
