A small clay pit located in sec. 6, T7S, R1E, SLM, S of Little Canyon and SSW of Pelican Point.
The goethite after pyrite pseudomorphs are found only a few inches below the surface. The host rock is a mudstone, which when broken or found in the clay usually has pseudomorphs still in it. Many of the larger ones are free of the mudstone and lie just above it.
