Bjorn,

It has been too long for me to remember what we measured but our results seem
to have been consistent with  what has become the standard reference on this
topic; see Penna Franca, et al., in Health Physics, 14, pp 95-99, 1968.  
Also see Penna Franca, et al., in Health Physics, 19, pp 657-662, 1970.

The radium content ranged from 10  to 260 Bq/kg and was about equally divided
between Ra-226 and Ra-228.
