Relative position | The approximate location of this unnamed occurrence, known in 1981 (Elliott and Koch, 1981, p. 7, loc. 7) only from a U.S. Bureau of Mines claims map, is in the Kapho Mountains, in Section 2, at an elevation of about 3900 feet. It is on a north-trending ridge at the east margin of a small glacier. The location is probably accurate to within about a quarter of a mile. |
