Kingswood Mine (Dartmoor)
Devon, Dartmoor granite (Buckfastleigh), United Kingdom
UraniumU (W, Bi)
- Type
- Granite-related hydrothermal uraninite veins
Vein-type uranium ore analysed by Keatley et al. (2021) for δ238U and δ234U (nuclear forensics). In situ core samples along a single vein (Kingswood adit): W-Bi uraninite, zeunerite and other secondary minerals; δ238U of -0.29 to -0.18 ‰ and δ234U of -64.7 to -1.6 ‰ within the same vein. Coordinates not published.
