McLamore reported in 1982 that the author conducted an extensive literature search and field examination.' of 96 nonsandstone radioactive occurrences and compiled an annotated bibliography of over 600 citations and a list of 327 radioactive occurrences in veins and igneous and metamorphic rocks of New Mexico. The citations are indexed by individual radioactive occurrence, geographic area, county, fluorspar deposits and occurrences, geochemical analyses, and geologic maps.
In addition, the geology, mineralization, and uranium and thorium potential of 41 geographic areas in New Mexico containing known radioactive occurrences. in veins and igneous and metamorphic rocks or that contain host rocks considered favorable for uranium or thorium mineralization were sumarized. A list of aerial-adiometric, magnetic, hydrogeochemical and stream-sediment survey reports is included.
