A comprehensive genetic model for sandstone-hosted uranium deposits in the Texas Coastal Plain is proposed.
Uranium sources and transport in groundwater through clastic sequences along Tertiary paleochannels are discussed.
Uranium deposition related to reductants from oil and gas fields and variations in sedimentary facies is described.
Includes an appendix with locations and information on 256 uranium occurrences (deposits, prospects, showings, and anomalies).
Uranium deposit grades, tonnages, and production for 169 mines identified in the region are reviewed.
