Economic information

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Manganese Deposits Of The Region Are Associated With Spilites (Park, 1942, P. 311-312) And Commonly Are Found With Reddish Pelagic Limestone Interbedded With The Basalt. Manganese Mineralization May Be Either Disseminated In Replacement Bodies Or Volcanogenic Exhalative/Diagenetic Bodies (Sorem And Gunn, 1967).

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE CRESCENT FORMATION, WHICH HOSTS MANGANESE MINERALIZATION ON THE OLYMPIC PENNINSULA, CONSISTS OF PALEOCENE? AND EOCENE PILLOW BASALTS COMPOSITIONALLY SIMILAR TO OCEAN RIDGE BASALTS. ASSOCIATED PELAGIC LIMESTONES WERE DEPOSITED IN DEEP WATER (SNAVELY, 1987, P. 306-308).
