| Abstract | Minor amounts of uranium associated with vanadium have been recognized in outcrop and at depth in the Fermo-Carboniferous sediments of Prince Edward Island. Concentrations occur in greenish grey phases
of the normally red sandstone, indicating a reducing environment. The uranium vanadates rauvite and francevillite have been identified. Source of the uranium is believed to be older rocks to the west. Uranium is believed to have been precipitated
under reducing conditions from percolating groundwaters. |
