Comments on the ore body information

  • Orebody is in an outcrop

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Reducing Environment, Stratigraphic Channel

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE WREFORD IS ABSENT FROM THIS AREA SOUTHWARD AND IS REPLACED BY A SANDSTONE ABOUT 140-170 FT ABOVE THE BASE AT THE GARRISON FORMATION. THIS IS WHY NAMES SUCH AS CHASE AND COUNCIL GROVE GROUPS CANNOT BE USED. GREIG (1959) GIVES GEOLOGY.
