A gypsum-U-limestone occurrence located in the SEΒΌ sec. 21, T30N, R20W, G&SRM, on the divide between Detrital Wash on the W and Trail Rapids Wash on the E, on National Recreation Area land (Lake Mead National Recreation Area). Owned & operated by Heath and Updyke, Nevada (1955). The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 500 meters.
A gypsum-U-Ca-limestone deposit hosted in Holocene clay & mud and conglomerate. Selenite and calcite crystals occur in lacustrine bentonitic clay, opalitic silica, and fluvial, sandy conglomerate. Carnotite and uranophane occur as surface coatings on bedding planes. Local rocks include Pliocene to middle Miocene deposits and/or Late to middle Miocene basaltic rocks.
