This collection contains a variety of materials collected from the Fry Canyon area of San Juan County, Utah by a USGS team in 2007-2010 to study contaminant dispersion from historical uranium/copper mining activities in the area. This research is described in Scientific Investigations Report 2010-5075 (Otton et al., 2010). The collection includes: material collected from 6 bore holes, 20 mine waste samples, 11 rock samples, and 13 soil/sediment samples. Samples are in plastic bags in cardboard boxes on one wood pallet.
