| Deposit | VEINLETS AND IRREGULAR MASSES OF BROWN, OLIVE-BROWN, RED, AND GREEN SPHALERITE OCCUR IN A 5-FOOT WIDE BELT NEAR THE NORTHWEST EDGE OF MEDIUM-BEDDED DOLOMITE. SMALL AMOUNTS OF GALENA ARE ALSO PRESENT, BUT PYRITE APPEARS TO BE ABSENT. MORE THAN ONE COLOR OF SPHALERITE MAY OCCUR IN THE SAME HAND SPECIMEN, BUT THE RED VARIETY IS MOST ABUNDANT. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT |
