|---|---|
| Relative position | The Hidden dike prospect is located on the northwest flank of the ridge between Crystal Creek and the upper part of Cassiterite Creek. Both creeks are east tributaries to Lost River in the York Mountains. The prospect is at about 750 foot elevation and only 0.5 mile upstream from the confluence of Crystal Creek and Lost River. This locality was not identified separately by Cobb and Sainsbury (1972) or Cobb (1975) but the surface trace of the Hidden dike was mapped by Sainsbury (1969, plate 1). |
