Geologic information

Identification information

Deposit ID 10254283
MRDS ID W900369
MAS/MILS ID 560070403
Record type Site
Current site name Unknown
Alternate or previous names Umslopagus Group

Comments on the site identification

  • This is an Unknown site, not part of the Umslopagus Group. It was misidentified in the original MAS database (0560070403) as Umslopagus because it is after that site in Bull. 50 but identified only by PLSS location and no name. A.B. Wilson changed the name of this record from Umslopagus to Unknown.
