Deposit WITHIN A ZONE OF ABOUT 6 FT THICK THERE OCCUR TWO OR THREE FLAT-LYING REPLACEMENT ZONES OF FLUORITE. PRESERVATION OF FOSSILS AND STYOLITES ARE EVIDENCE THAT THE ORE IS REPLACEMENT.
Deposit WATER WAS SUPPLIED THROUGH RUNOFF AND STORED IN A SMALL POND. IT WAS INADEQUATE EXCEPT IN THE RAINY SEASON.
