    This document describes a gamma ray tool used to measure natural gamma ray emissions from rock formations. The tool uses scintillating detectors containing sodium iodide crystal doped with thalium to detect gamma rays. When gamma rays strike the detector, it produces light pulses that are converted into electrical pulses to measure the gamma ray levels. Gamma rays originate from the radioactive decay of uranium, thorium, and potassium in rock. The tool can be used to estimate shale volume and distinguish shale from carbonates based on the different gamma ray levels emitted by the materials.
