Micreszopic chservations of the fallozt collected froa the C°hS truck
rvas indicated at least two general types of particles,

One type reseubled

.Surel coral, while the second wes either partially or totally black.

The

bleck particles were ferrozagnetie to varying degrees and gave positive quali-~
tative tests for fron,

The white particles were composed of both calcium

carbonate and calcium hydroxide (or oxide),

The lydroxide, or oxide, appeared

to be uniformly distributed through the volumes of the particles,

On the

average, the black particles were individually about four tines as radioactive
as the white particles, but the former represented only 20 percent by nu wer
of the total particles in the size fractions larger than 50 microns,

The

radioactivity of both types of particles appeared to be unifornly “eee
