Comments on the site identification

  • Keith Long's list of significant deposits doesn't define "Marysvale". Does taht mean just the Marysvale Peak deposit, the cluster of deposits near Marysvale Peak (here clustered together as the Sevier Plateau area), or all the 23 alunite replacement and 7 alunite vein deposits in the Marysvale REGION?
