“…The enrichment of Pb in tabular-type deposits in the Morrison Formation of the Henry Mountains and Grants areas was thought to be the product of radioactive decay of U (Spirakis and others, 1984;Spirakis and Pierson, 1983). For the Chinle deposits, however, the average amount of Pb now present in the G100 group is in excess by about 50 ppm of the amount that would be expected from the radioactive decay of U, assuming that mineralization took place about 200 million years ago.…”
