Subject category Comment text
Deposit PORTAL IN QUARTZITE CUT BY FE-STAINED SILICIFIED BRECCIA ZONE, SLIGHTLY UNDULATORY. ZONE CONSISTS OF FINELY CRUSHED ROCK ALTERED TO A MIXTURE OF CLAY, CALCITE, SILICA, PUNKY FE OXIDES. SOME OF THE MORE SILICIFIED FRAGMENTS HAVE GREEN AND YELLOW OXIDES WHICH MAY BE SCORODITE OR OTHER AS MINERALS. FAULT ZONE IS PROBABLY A THRUST CONTACT BETWEEN QUARTZITES AND LIMESTONE, SINCE CRUSHED & ALTERED ROCK APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DERIVED FROM LIMESTONE.
