Data
Staff of USGS Science Centers in Region 7: Upper Colorado Basin collect a wide variety of natural resource data types including spatial, geologic, hydrologic, and biologic. Data included in USGS-series publications that are not publicly available in USGS databases are published in Data Releases. Short descriptions and links to Data Releases produced by Region 7 Science Centers are shown below.

In Vitro Bioaccessibility Extractions from Previously Collected Uranium Mineral Deposit Samples, 1971 and 1981, Southwestern U.S In Vitro Bioaccessibility Extractions from Previously Collected Uranium Mineral Deposit Samples, 1971 and 1981, Southwestern U.S
This data set provides total element concentration and simulated lung and gastric fluid bioaccessibility from previously collected Uranium mineral deposit samples (1971 and 1981, Southwestern U.S.) exploring possible exposures to other hazardous trace metals. Elevated total as well as simulated gastric and lung fluid concentrations were observed for arsenic, cobalt, manganese, thallium...
Sr-, U-, H- and O-isotope data used to evaluate water sources in the Potrero Creek Wetlands, Upper Santa Cruz Basin, southern Arizona, USA Sr-, U-, H- and O-isotope data used to evaluate water sources in the Potrero Creek Wetlands, Upper Santa Cruz Basin, southern Arizona, USA
This data release includes a table of 87Sr/86Sr, 234U/238U, δ2H, and δ18O isotope data used to evaluate groundwater- and surface-water-sources contributing to water in perennial wetlands near the mouth of Potrero Creek within the Upper Santa Cruz Basin near Nogales, AZ. Interpretations of those data are discussed in the pamphlet accompanying the USGS Scientific Investigations Map SIM...
Black-tailed prairie dog capture data from plots treated and not treated with oral plague vaccine from 2013-2017 in Montana Black-tailed prairie dog capture data from plots treated and not treated with oral plague vaccine from 2013-2017 in Montana
Oral sylvatic plague vaccine baits (SPV) and placebo baits were distributed once annually from 2013-2016 on treated and non-treated paired plots from 2013-2016. Black-tailed prairie dogs (BTPD) were live-trapped and permanently marked with passive integrated transponders and ear tags on 4 pairs of plots each year from 2013-2017 to provide capture/recapture data for use in estimating BTPD...
Black-tailed prairie dog movement and bait uptake data from 2013-2017 in Montana Black-tailed prairie dog movement and bait uptake data from 2013-2017 in Montana
Oral sylvatic plague vaccine baits (SPV) and placebo baits, each containing Rhodamine B dye biomarker, were distributed once annually from 2013-2016 on treated and non-treated paired plots from 2013-2016. Black-tailed prairie dogs (BTPD) were live-trapped and permanently marked with passive integrated transponders and ear tags on 4 pairs of plots each year from 2013-2017 to provide...
Hatchling Growth Experiment Dataset from Invasive Burmese Pythons Captured in 2015 in Southern Florida Hatchling Growth Experiment Dataset from Invasive Burmese Pythons Captured in 2015 in Southern Florida
This dataset contains information about 58 hatchling Burmese pythons collected in 2015 from an invasive population in southern Florida. These hatchlings were used in an experiment that assessed the effects of food availability, clutch, and sex on their growth in captivity. The hatchlings were collected as eggs from the nests of two wild pythons, assigned to High or Low feeding treatments...
Body condition scores and foaling outcomes in 2021 for 18 mares at Sulphur herd management area, Utah treated with gonadotropin releasing hormone Body condition scores and foaling outcomes in 2021 for 18 mares at Sulphur herd management area, Utah treated with gonadotropin releasing hormone
These data present outcomes for monitoring of 18 mares at Sulphur herd management area, Utah. Data include Henneke body condition scores (BCS) and foaling success, measured by visual observations of mares during the 2021 breeding season (April to September 2021) to determine if mares had a foal at foot. Mares were treated with gonadotropin releasing hormone vaccine on September 2, 2020...
Data on grasshopper composition in the Thunder Basin National Grassland, Wyoming, USA Data on grasshopper composition in the Thunder Basin National Grassland, Wyoming, USA
Grasshopper biomass and species-level diversity was recorded at locations on and off prairie dog colonies in the Thunder Basin National Grassland, Wyoming, USA. Data were collected in order to record the association between grasshopper communities and prairie dog colonies.
Data release for Evidence of glacial activity during MIS 4 in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA Data release for Evidence of glacial activity during MIS 4 in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA
The Ziegler Reservoir fossil site near Snowmass Village, Colorado (USA) provides a rare opportunity to examine environmental conditions in the Rocky Mountains during marine isotope stage (MIS) 4 (71-57 ka). Although recognized as a global-scale cold event, MIS 4 is typically absent from Rocky Mountain glacial chronologies because the geologic evidence was either covered or destroyed...
National Geochemical Database on Ore Deposits: Legacy data National Geochemical Database on Ore Deposits: Legacy data
There is a growing demand for commodities (elements, compounds, minerals) used in today's advanced technologies. Critical minerals are usually found in ore deposits that are deemed vital to economic and national security. The National Geochemical Database on Ore Deposits: Legacy data (NGDOD) contains chemistry and geologic information for nearly 30,000 historic ore and ore-related rock...
U-Pb age determinations of uraninite by electron microprobe analyses of ore samples from two solution-collapse breccia pipe uranium deposits, Grand Canyon region, northwest Arizona, USA U-Pb age determinations of uraninite by electron microprobe analyses of ore samples from two solution-collapse breccia pipe uranium deposits, Grand Canyon region, northwest Arizona, USA
This data release compiles the electron microprobe spot analyses of U, Th, and Pb concentrations in uraninite (U oxide) particles, and corresponding calculated age determinations, measured in samples of ore from two uranium-copper breccia pipe ore bodies, the Canyon (Pinyon Plain) and Hack II deposits. The U-rich samples that were analyzed typify the deposits hosted by solution-collapse...
