| Relative position | GO W. ON TEXAS HWY. 1756 FOR 2.5 MI FROM TEXAS HWY. 283 AT TRUSCOTT. TURN N. 0.4 MI, THEN W. 3.1 MI. TURN S. 1.6 MI TO ALEXANDER RANCH HEADQUARETERS. GO S. ON UNIMPROVED ROAD FOR 1.5 MI. TURN W. AND NW FOR ABOUT 1.4 MI, WHERE ROAD TURNS W. WALK ABOUT 2500 FT NE TO WHERE SAMPLE 5 WAS COLLECTED AT TOP OF FLOWERPOT SHALE, A 4-INCH DOLOMITE AND 5-INCH SHALE, ASSAYING AT ABOUT 0.07-1.60% CU. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SAME SITE AS SAMPLES 94-95 OF STROUD AND OTHERS (1970, P. 41), BUT STROUD'S LOCALITY IN NW SEC. 5 WOULD BE ABOUT 3.4 MI TO THE NW OF SAMPLE 5 OF SMITH. |

| Deposit | THE COPPER IN THE UPPER FLOWERPOT MAY BE WIDESPREAD IN A SABKHA DEPOSIT. |
| Deposit | SMITH (1974, P. 64, 68), MEASURED SECTION 1 AND SAMPLE NO. 5, IS MAIN REFERENCE. THIS MAY BE THE SAME AS STROUD AND OTHERS (1970, P. 41), SAMPLES 94-95 (USBM SAMPLES RAF-37, 38), BUT STROUD GIVES A LOCATION IN NW SEC. 5 OF ADAMS, BEATY, AND MOULTON SURVEY, BLOCK X, AND SMITH'S LOCATION IS IN SE OF SEC. 3. |
