The distribution of both the major and trace elements within a rock body is fundamental to the solution of many geologic problems. In most instances a great many analyses are required to represent this distribution accurately. The cost, in terms of expenditure and time, of ordinary analytical procedures limits the number of samples that can be collected and processed. This often results in an inadequate or even erroneous concept of the distribution of an element. The purpose of this project was to design and construct a portable gamma ray spectrometer capable of measuring, in situ, the radioelement content of rocks, and to demonstrate its use on a variety of geologic problems.
