| General | A.B. Wilson combined 4 records. MAS had one record for each of the 4 sections that this "deposit" supposedly is in. This is not 4 distinct deposits, but rather one sprawling, nebulous one. In previous versions (including Wilson and others, USGS OFR-01-497) this was erroneously coded as lithium deposit, but someone has already corrected this error. It is very clear from the reference cited that this is a marble deposit, not lithium. |
