This report presents in atlas format the concentration and distribution of geochemical constituents in stream sediments statewide. These data were the result of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program. The elements in the database are pathfinder elements to seek uranium deposits; subsequent analyses of these samples resulted in supplemental geochemical analyses. This report is a companion to Bulletin 94 which presents hydrochemical concentrations for many elements from domestic water supply wells.
