Promontory Butte deposit; CR claim group


An U occurrence/claim/prospect located about 2ΒΌ miles E of Kohls Ranch. Claims extend into secs. 13, 14 & 23.

Fossilized plants, coal, copper minerals, sphalerite and pyrite occur in Pennsylvanian/Permian rocks from the Supai Formation that is between the Permian Fort Apache Member (limestone) above and the Pennsylvanian Naco Formation below.

The fossilized plants are the most notable aspect of this prospect. Shark coprolites, freshwater clams and a horseshoe crab have been reported from this locality.
