An U occurrence/mine located in the NE¼ sec. 25, T29N, R9E, G&SRM (approximate NW¼ sec. 30, T29N, R10E ? ), 3.3 km (2.0 miles) ESE of Cameron.
Mineralization is an U deposit with autunite and uraninite associated with gypsum, chalcedony, jarosite, limonite, calcite and some sulfides in a NNW-trending paleochannel hosted in the Lower Petrified Forest Member of the Chinle Formation. Schroeckingerite fills fractures in logs undergoing oxidation. Local rocks include rocks of the Chinle Formation.
Workings include surface openings comprised of a 40 foot deep open pit, now filled with water.
Production was 7,376 tons @0.23% U3O8 (1956-1961).
