Deposit THE UPPER 5 FT OF THE FLOWERPOT SH. HAS APPARENTLY CAUGHT SOME LEACHED COPPER, ALONG WITH HAVING TWO IRREGULAR DOLOMITE BEDS WITH COPPER IN UPPER 11 FT.
Deposit FAY (JUNE 1972) COLLECTED MALACHITE SAMPLES 45 AND 46 FROM 0.5-FT DOL. BED, 4-4.5 FT BELOW BLAINE, AND SELENITE VEINS, 0-4 FT BELOW BLAINE, IN FLOWERPOT SHALE. FAY (1962, P. 27, 34, 209) FIRST MENTIONED THIS MALACHITE, ALONG WITH MALACHITE IN CEDAR SPRINGS DOL., IN MEASURED SECTION 11. ALSO, FAY (1964, P. 32, 95, 203-204) DESCRIBED MALACHITE IN CEDAR SPRINGS DOL. AND IN DOL. 10.65 FT BELOW TOP OF FLOWERPOT IN MEASURED SECTION 22.
