Deposit NEAR THE NORTH BORDER OF FITCH'S MAP, THERE IS AN AREA OF JASPEROID BRECCIA FLOAT ABOUT 50 FT BY 200 FT THAT OCCURS IN THE CHISHOLM SHALE. THE JASPEROID APPEARS BARREN. ALTHOUGH THE JASPEROID BODY IS NOT EXPOSED, IT MAY REPRESENT A BRECCIA PIPE OR PERHAPS FAULT BRECCIA FROM THE FAULT TO THE EAST.
