| Location and accuracy | This occurrence is at an elevation of about 150 feet about 0.3 mile southwest of benchmark Pile (762 elevation) and 0.5 mile north of the mouth of Iliamna River. The occurrence is near the center of the E1/2 SE1/4 sec. 13, T. 5 S., R. 28 W., Seward Meridian. The location is accurate within about 0.5 mile. The occurrence is number 27 of Detterman and Cobb (1972). |
Geologic descriptionThis occurrence consists of magnetite in Jurassic mafic-ultramafic rocks that may be a roof pendant in a Jurassic quartz diorite batholith (Detterman and Reed, 1980). The mafic-ultramafic rocks consist of gabbro, hornblende gabbro, and pyroxenite. Magnetite occurs in veins, disseminations, and lenticular pods. The occurrence is large but low grade (Berg and Cobb, 1967). | |
