Summary
Description UraniumMineUtah.JPG |
English:
Mi Vida uranium mine
(109°15'35.77"W 38°11'25.07"N) near
Moab
. Note alternating red and white/green
sandstone
and
mudstone
. This color variation corresponds to
oxidized
and
reduced
conditions in groundwater fluid
redox
chemistry. The rock forms in oxidizing conditions, and starts with the red coating. It is then "bleached" to the white/green state when a reducing fluid passes through the rock. The reduced fluid can also carry Uranium-bearing
minerals
