Beaver ponds concentrated uranium in peat deposits from granitic source rocks.
A significant recent example of uranium enrichment in organic-rich sediments. Deposit formation was strongly influenced by recent glaciation that provided for increased exposure, comminution, and leachability of local granitic bedrock, and that also provided new sedimentary environments where organic matter could accumulate and extract uranium from local waters. (Otton et al 1989)
