COFFINITE is a fairly common uranium

mineral.   Typically, it has scattered

colors of yellow and black on its rock

surface. Coffinite is a member of the

Zircon mineral group.  It was first

discovered at the Uravan Colorado

uranium area; it is also found at

Germany, Austria, and the Czech

Republic. Some Coffinite rocks have

been found with uranium densities

as high as 72%.  Uraninite, another

uranium mineral, often occurs at the

same minefields as coffinite.  Coffinite

is named after the famous American

uranium geologist, REUBEN COFFIN,

who lived from 1886 to 1972;

he died at age 86.

 

 Jurassic Canyon NM is the

USA's richest location for URANIUM

rocks to be found, on or near the

ground surface. Radiation levels above

40,000. CPM are considered high

levels, with regard to comparison with

other natural radioactive rocks.  This

rock, with 32,000. CPM response, is

mid-level. NOTE that applications in

industrial, medical, or military uses

have far higher radiation levels than

those found in natural uranium rocks.

the BOAT-GRB: "Brightest of All Time."
