Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = Chalcopyrite in quartz in sheared zones parallel to bedding in lower part of Neruokpuk Formation.??Rocks in this area are currently mapped as the Neruokpuk Schist of Leffingwell (1919) by Reiser and others (1980). These rocks are likely Cambrian in age (Lane and others, 1995).
