Samples collected from the outcrop north of Little Miminegash Pond.
From Bottrill, "Here the exposed red mudstone and sandstone is characterized by greenish grey reduction ellipsoids of which a few are radioactive. These range up to six inches in diameter and collectively appear to occupy about one per cent of the rock. Many ellipsoids have small centres of predominantly carbonaceous material. However those that are radioactive generally contain large, charcoal grey, noncarbonaceous centres."
"Rauvite occurs as a soft yellowish mass a few mm in diameter in the discovery specimen, and is apparently the source of the radioactivity of this specimen. Francevillite occurs as greenish yellow films along the perimeter of and within the black centre of sample No. 2."
