    Description

    VINTAGE ITEM FROM THE COLD WAR URANIUM BOOM!!
    This is USGS Bulletin 1046-G,
    Uranium in Carbonaceous Rocks in the Townsend and Helena Valleys, Montana
    . Published in 1957, this is a scarce report on this geologically interesting area in Montana.
    Much more interesting than it sounds, this 16-page book discusses in detail the distribution of uranium in this unusual set of deposits
    . There are over 20 areas mentioned in the text, plus some additional areas. The full color map is really nice. The brightly colored mineral
    metatorbernite
    is mentioned in the text.
    This is one of the lesser known uranium areas of the region, but it is interesting nonetheless.
    As such this report provides a unique geologic perspective that few other reports do. Inside the front cover is a government tracking form from the Atomic Energy
    Commission
    , which is pretty cool.
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
