IT APPEARS TO BE A SPRING SINTER DEPOSIT, FINELY LAMINATED, OVERLYING A 15-20 CM ZONE OF CEMENTED WELDED TUFF FRAGMENTS THAT APPEARS TO BE A REGOLITH ON A SOLID OUTCROP OF RHYOLITIC WELDED TUFF. THE TUFF UNIT IS PROBABLY THE SAME ONE PRESENT ABOUT 0.5 KM EAST AT THE COALDALE URANIUM PROPERTY. HOWEVER, THE SINTER AND SURROUNDING ROCKS ARE NOT ANOMALOUSLY RADIOACTIVE HERE. THE SINTER IS DOWNSLOPE FROM A 6-7 CM LAYER OF CLAY-RICH MATERIAL THAT IS HYDROTHERMALLY ALTERED RHYOLITIC WELDED TUFF (SMECTITE CLAY S?) THE SINTER IS CUT BY SMALL VEINLETS OF MN OXIDES. THE SINTER MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH A FAULT ZONE HERE; THERE IS A LARGE FAULT BRECCIA ZONE TO THE WEST AND A SLICKENSIDED SURFACE (NEARLY HORIZONTAL SLICKENSIDES) OCCURS JUST BELOW THE SINTER. ALSO A FAULT MAY FORM THE MOUNTAIN FRONT HERE. HOWEVER, A DRILL HOLE TO THE SOUTH OF THE SINTER (AND |
