VIII BIBLIOGRAPHY OF VANADIUM GEOLOGY<br />
INDEX EXPLANATION<br />
Each bibliographic reference is indexed under one or more index<br />
sets, each set consisting <strong>of</strong> three orders <strong>of</strong> headings. Topical <strong>and</strong><br />
geographic terms are used for these headings. AH references relating<br />
to vanadium accumulations that might be <strong>of</strong> economic interest are<br />
indexed both topically <strong>and</strong> geographically; references to occurrences<br />
dominantly <strong>of</strong> scientific interest are judged to have no geographic<br />
significance <strong>and</strong> are inde"\.ed only under topical headings.<br />
References to productive vanadium deposits, <strong>and</strong> also to nonproductive<br />
occurrences <strong>of</strong> the same geologic types as the productive<br />
deposits, are all indexed under the first-order heading, "Deposits,<br />
geologic types." Second-order headings indicate the geologic types,<br />
such as "Asphaltite" <strong>and</strong> "S<strong>and</strong>stone." Third-order headings relate<br />
to the geographic location. Also included under "Deposits, geologic<br />
types" are nonproductive types <strong>of</strong> occurrences that are judged to have<br />
a significant productive potential, such as vanadium-rich shale <strong>and</strong><br />
tar s<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
All references indexed under uDeposits, geologic types" are also<br />
indexed under first-order geographic names, consisting <strong>of</strong> States in the<br />
United States, foreign countries, <strong>and</strong> major geographic units, such as<br />
the Colorado Plateau region. "The Statesman's Yearbook," 1965-<br />
1966, 102d edition, New York, St. Martin's Press, 1726 p., 1965, was<br />
used as an authority for the names <strong>of</strong> new countries; former names <strong>of</strong><br />
countries are cross-referenced to the new names. Second-order headings<br />
consist <strong>of</strong> political <strong>and</strong> geographic subdivisions. Third-order headings<br />
identify the geologic types <strong>of</strong> deposits.<br />
All references that include tonnage <strong>and</strong> grade data on the vanadium<br />
content <strong>of</strong> deposits or areas are also indexed under the first-order<br />
headings H<strong>Resources</strong>, geographic distribution" <strong>and</strong> "<strong>Resources</strong>,<br />
geologic types <strong>of</strong> deposits."<br />
References that relate mainly to the geochemical abundance <strong>and</strong><br />
association <strong>of</strong> vanadium <strong>and</strong> to geochemical processes involving<br />
vanadium are mainly inde"ed under the first-order heading, ''Geochemistry,"<br />
<strong>and</strong> those relating to studies <strong>of</strong> vanadium minerals are<br />
indexed under the first-order headings "Mineral data" <strong>and</strong> "Mineralogy."<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> these references are not considered to be significant<br />
geographically, <strong>and</strong> for that reason most <strong>of</strong> them are not indexed<br />
under first-order geographic terms.<br />
LIST OF VANADIUM MINERALS<br />
Most formulas <strong>and</strong> classifications are from Hey (1962, 1963, 1966);<br />
some are modified by Michael Fleischer, U.S. Geological Survey<br />
(written commun., 1965, 1968). Minerals that are generally not accepted<br />
or incompletely described <strong>and</strong> synonyms that are generally<br />
discarded are shown in italics.
