Apatite found in well rounded pebbles and thin (~1 cm) beds. The conglomerate portion of the Quartzite contains pebbles of vein quartz, gneiss, older quartz-pebble conglomerate, and apatite in a quartzose matrix with disseminated grains of pyrite and magnetite. Both pebble and stratiform apatite are extremely fine-grained and difficult to identify.
