Comments on the location information

  • OUTCROPS ARE ON W. SIDE OF STEEP RAVINE SW OF HALF-SECTION FENCES, SW OF CENTER OF SECTION 8. BASAL 10 FT OF A 10- TO 20-FT SANDSTONE HAS MALACHITE AND FOSSIL WOOD. THE SANDSTONE MAY BE ABOVE THE WREFORD HORIZON, BUT IT IS COMMONLY MAPPED AS WREFORD. MENTIONED BY BRANSON, BURWELL, AND CHASE (1955, P. 11).

Ore body information

  • Name UNNAMED
    General form CHANNEL
    Thickness 3.05M

Comments on the ore body information

  • Orebody is in an outcrop

Controls for ore emplacement

  • Reducing Environment, Stratigraphic Channel

Comments on the geologic information

  • THE 10- TO 20-FT SANDSTONE HAS BEEN MAPPED AS WREFORD BY A.B. GREIG (1959), BUT THE TEXT EXPLANATION SHOWS THAT THE WREFORD LIMESTONE IS GRADATIONAL INTO SANDSTONE IN THIS AREA. THIS IS WHY THE NAMES COUNCIL GROVE AND CHASE GROUPS CANNOT BE USED.
