Uranium — Where It Is and How to Find It Proctor, Hyatt & Bullock

One of the more substantial field-oriented uranium prospecting guides to come out of the mid-century boom, this volume goes beyond counter technique into the geology of uranium occurrence — where deposits form, what host rocks to look for, associated minerals, and how to read the landscape for prospecting potential. Proctor, Hyatt, and Bullock wrote for the serious layperson: someone willing to learn enough geology to stop wandering and start prospecting with purpose.

For today's reader, it holds up surprisingly well as an introduction to uranium mineralogy and sedimentary uranium geology. Collectors with an interest in carnotite, torbernite, or the Colorado Plateau deposits will find familiar ground. A solid shelf addition for anyone interested in the science behind the specimens, not just the specimens themselves.
