| Deposit | Uranium possibly occurs as constituent in phosphate minerals in Phosphoria Fm. |
| Deposit | Relatively high in uranium compared to potassium and thorium. Radioactivity appears confined to cherty material, reason for this is unknown. Uranium may be primary as in phosphates seen elsewhere in same formation or possibly secondary deposits leached from Tertiary sediments that formerly covered area. Phosphorite(?) occurs very near Tensleep/Prk City contact. |
