Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = This tributary of Wickersham Creek drains an area underlain by Tertiary or Cretaceous granodiorite, quartz monzonite and granite, and by Cretaceous or Jurassic turbidites (Wilson and others, 1998). The placer gold was probably derived from the erosion of auriferous lodes, such as those at HE172 and HE178. Placer samples collected by the BLM contained 0.0053 ounce of gold per cubic yard (Kurtak and others, 1992).
  • Age = Quaternary.
