URANIUM DISTRIBUTION IN VOLCANIC AND VOLCANOCLASTIC ROCKS OF THE NORTHERN GEMERIC PERMIAN
Abstract
Uranium fission tracks indicate the development of uranium distribution in barren volcanics and related tuffs. In rhyolites and their tuffs, most uranium occurs in the matrix whereas in andesite and dacite, this element is bound to Ti oxides which were formed largely as a result of ilmenite and magnetite alterations. Variable uranium distribution in the matrix and Ti oxides reflects processes of remobilization and concentration.
