General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit FAULT BRECCIA. LIMESTONE HAS VEINLETS AND PODS OF CLEAR CALCITE AS WELL AS MANGANOSIDERITE PODS. THE LIMESTONE CARRIES LIMONITE/HEMATITE PSEUDOMORPHS AFTER PYRITE. BOTH DUMPS HAVE GOSSANY NODULES, AND SLICKENSIDES ARE ABUNDANT ON ALL ROCKS. MANY OF THE ROCKS ALSO SHOW EVIDENCE OF SERICITIZATION, AND POSSIBLY CHLORITIC ALTERATION. ROCKS ARE FRACTURED AND BRECCIATED.
