An U-V occurrence located in approximate sec. 11, Tl8N, Rl9E, G&SRM, 3.9 km (2.4 miles) ENE of Joseph City. Geographic coordinates presented are for the center of sec. 11.
Mineralization is an U deposit hosted in carbonaceous siltstone with carbonized plants and petrified wood of the Petrified Forest Member of the Chinle Formation. Ore is of the carnotite-type.
Workings include surface openings comprised of shallow pits and trenches.
Production was 285 tons at 0.06% U3O8; 0.03% V2O5 (1953-1955).

| Norian - Carnian 208.5 - 237 Ma ID: 2719040 | Chinle Formation Age: Late Triassic (208.5 - 237 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Chinle Formation Description: Colorful mudstone, such as in the Painted Desert, and less abundant lenses of sandstone and conglomerate, deposited by a large river system. This unit typically is eroded into badlands topography and contains clays that are prone to shrinking and swelling.
