Comments on the location information

  • SHUMARD (1854, P. 182) MENTIONED THAT GYPSUM FRAGMENTS, STAINED WITH COPPER, WERE SEEN ON THE GROUND NEAR THE BASE OF A GRANITE KNOB WHERE A SANDSTONE WAS SEEN ABOVE A RED SHALE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS COULD BE IN THE NW-21, WHICH APPEARS TO BE MORE OF A BADLANDS TOPOGRAPHY, WITH A 30-FT CLIFF FACE ON DEEP RED CREEK. THIS WOULD BE ABOUT ONE-HALF MILE SE OF ANOTHER GRANITE KNOB. ONLY TWO GRANITE KNOBS WERE PASSED ON JULY 15, 1852. THE ONE IN SEC. 20 WAS ON THE DIRECT LINE OF MARCH. THE OTHER ONE, IN SECS. 16-17, WAS SLIGHTLY NW OF THEIR LINE OF MARCH.

Comments on the geologic information

  • PROBABLY BARITE NODULES WITH MALACHITE OCCUR IN A SHALE IN THE GARBER SANDSTONE. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE NODULES WERE SEEN IN THE NW-21-2N-16W, ON THE W. SIDE OF DEEP RED RUN, WHERE THERE IS A 30-FT CLIFF AND BADLANDS TOPOGRAPHY. WHERE THE NODULES ARE ERODED, ONLY THE BARITE CENTERS REMAIN, RESEMBLING GYPSUM. HAVENS (1977) MAPPED THE GEOLOGY.
