Geochemical and geophysical investigations of the Permian (Littleham Mudstone) sediments of part of Devon

New geophysical and geochemical data from three deep
cored boreholes drilled through the Littleham Mudstone
sequence (Permian), are presented together with chemical
data from the investigation of a number of uraniferous
nodules. This investigation provides new chemical data
on the host sediments (mudstones) that contain the
nodules. The nodules themselves are scattered throughout
the mudstones and have long been known to be enriched
in a variety of metals in addition to U and V.The information
from the holes provides new data on the geophysical
characteristics of these sediments in an area
where there are few alternate sources of this information.
Additional detailed information,data,examination of
available core material and consultation with appropriate
staff may be purchased on application.
