Geologic descriptionThis occurrence consists of banded marble that locally contains layers with 10% sphalerite that replaces pyrite(?) (Dillon, 1981 [AOF 133B]). However, a grab sample from outcrop, contains only 25 ppm Zn and no other anomalous metal values. The rocks in the area are Devonian(?) or older(?), black slate, phyllite, and limestone (Bliss and others, 1988). No other information is available. | |
