| Deposit | ALTERED BASALT IS THE PRINCIPAL COUNTRY ROCK FOR THE BURNT HILL DEPOSIT. SUPERFICIAL WEATHERING GIVES THE BASALT A YELLOWISH TO LIGHT-BROWN COLOR; HOWEVER, MEGASCOPIC EXAMINATION OF A NEWLY FRACTURED SURFACE REVEALS FINE-GRAINED, GREENISH-GRAY MATERIAL (DATA FROM USGS, MRDS, 1990). THE CRESCENT FORMATION, WHICH HOSTS MANGANESE MINERALIZATION ON THE OLYMPIC PENNINSULA, CONSISTS OF PALEOCENE? AND EOCENE PILLOW BASALTS COMPOSITIONALLY SIMILAR TO OCEAN RIDGE BASALTS. ASSOCIATED PELAGIC LIMESTONES WERE DEPOSITED IN DEEP WATER (SNAVELY, 1987, P. 306-308). ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT |
