General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit CARNOTITE FOUND IN AN EROSION REMNANT. IN FRACTURES, CAVITIES AND AS DISSEMINATED CRYSTALS.
Deposit "LOVE, J. D., U.S.G.S." was in the reference field. Unable to determine if Dr. Love was source of information or discoverer or something else.
Deposit Original record stated (misplaced in the references section) "U-BEARING CACO3 VEINS CUT PENNSYLVANIAN TENSLEEP FM." MINOBRAS, p. A-7, states "Carnotite aggregates in claystone-sandstone, North Park Form(?) Tertiary"
Deposit Unable to determine if two Chimney Rock records (see also 10081044) are the same. Cited sources place them in different section, township, ranges, although within a couple miles.
