The Quaternary Silver Creek Fault Beneath the Santa Clara Valley, California The Quaternary Silver Creek Fault Beneath the Santa Clara Valley, California
The northwest-trending Silver Creek Fault is a 40-km-long strike-slip fault in the eastern Santa Clara Valley, California, that has exhibited different behaviors within a changing San Andreas Fault system over the past 10-15 Ma. Quaternary alluvium several hundred meters thick that buries the northern half of the Silver Creek Fault, and that has been sampled by drilling and imaged in a...

Volcanogenic uranium deposits: Geology, geochemical processes, and criteria for resource assessment Volcanogenic uranium deposits: Geology, geochemical processes, and criteria for resource assessment
Felsic volcanic rocks have long been considered a primary source of uranium for many kinds of uranium deposits, but volcanogenic uranium deposits themselves have generally not been important resources. Until the past few years, resource summaries for the United States or the world generally include volcanogenic in the broad category of "other deposits" because they comprised less than 0...
