GROTTO GEYSER. RADIOACTIVITY OF THE THERMAL WATERS OFYELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. By Herman Schlundt and Richard B. Moore. INTRODUCTION. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT. Dunns; the summer of 1906 we conducted a series of field tests forthe United States Geological Survey with the object of determiningthe radioactive properties of the thermal waters of the YellowstoneNational Park. In connection with the field work, samples of depos-its formed by the springs, some typical rock specimens, and a numberof water residues were obtained. In this bulletin the quantitative dataof the investigation are presented in a series of tables. An accountof the methods of experiment in both field and laboratory precedesthe presentation of results, and a discussion follows. We have indi-cated a possible application of some of the data to a geologic ques-tion—the age of some of the spring deposits; but no systematicattempt has been made to relate the facts of radioactivity to thehydrography of the region or to the g
