Structure: N 60 W Trending East Camp Fault Zone Along Which Is The Jasperoid Vein.
Tectonics: Basin And Range
Deposit: Discovery year: early 1920's a large dikelike vein of jasperoid occupies the east camp fault zone, which strikes N 60 W and dips near vertical. Fluorspar veins parallel the outside walls and also wind through the jasperoid. Fluorspar crops out irregularly in a persistent vein parallel to the jasperoid dike for a distance of 2500 ft. The width of the vein ranges from 12 to 15 ft. The vein material is composed of fine to medium grained quartz, jasperoid breccia, fine-grained to coarse-grained fluorite, and minor amounts of argentite, gold, hematite, limonite, and Mn-oxides. The fluorite is clear, white and green, and has some hematite staining. Data from record number d011429 by ron worl, which has been deleted from mrds, has been included in this record. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
