Relative position | The occurrence is at 4100-foot elevation about 3.9 miles northwest of Mt. Marchainville and on the south side of the head of Finger Glacier. The location is accurate to about 0.1 mile based on transposition of sample number 43 of Rossman (1963, B 1121-F) to the 1961 edition of the Mt. Fairweather B-4 quadrangle. Location number 41, also Rossman (1963), is about 0.1 mile southwest of number 43. The location is essentially the same as number 12 (p. C111) of Kimball and others (1978) shown, incorrectly, as their location 13 on plate III. |
