Deposit LENSES OF MANGANESE OXIDES AND SILICATES OCCUR IN RED LIMESTONE, WHICH IS INTERBEDDE IN BASALT. MANGANESE DEPOSITS OF THE REGION ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SPILITES (PARK, 1942, P. 311-312) AND OCCUR IN REDDISH PELAGIC LIMESTONE INTERBEDDED WITH THE BASALT. MANGANESE MINERALIZATION MAY BE EITHER DISSEMINATED IN REPLACEMENT BODIES OR VOLCANOGENIC EXHALATIVE/DIAGENETIC BODIES (SOREM AND GUNN, 1967). ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
