An unincorporated population center (hamlet) within Harrison Township. Located about 25km SSW of Camden.
Cretaceous sedimentary rock with phosphate nodules and phosphate replacement of fossils (belemnites).
Mullica Hill has long been known for vivianite which occurs principally as a replacement of calcareous fossils, belemnites and oyster-like shells of the genus Exogyra. These phosphatized fossils are found in the Navasink formation, a glauconitic sand of the latest Cretaceous age. The locality is often described in the literature as being “along the banks of Raccoon Creek”. This is not exactly true for the locality that has produced phosphates since the 1970s.
The site that has produced ferrostrunzite and other phosphate minerals, which are oxidation products of vivianite, is a small area on the bank of a tributary to Raccoon Creek. This tributary is usually dry but has created a significant ravine. The actual site is approximately 650 feet southwest from the west side of the parking lot of the Raccoon Valley Swim Club off the end of Church Street in Mullica Hill. At this locality, the bank of the west side of the ravine projected outward slightly into the ravine. The sediments of the Navasink formation, normally greenish, were oxidized to yellowish-orange. Because of the clay content of the material, one could get extremely dirty very quickly while searching for specimens.
CAUTION: This area is private property. As collectors advanced their excavations, they started undermining the backyards of private homes.

| ⓘ Siderite ? Formula: FeCO3 Description: Visual identification only. References: |
| ⓘ Strengite Formula: FePO4 · 2H2O Localities: |
| ⓘ Formula: Mn2+Fe3+2(PO4)2(OH)2 · 6H2O Description: Strunzite identified based on XRD pattern, elemental composition not reported. After the MinRec article was published in 1980, in 1983 the description of ferrostrunzite was published. The XRD pattern of the two minerals are nearly identical. This report of strunzite is probably erroneous, and the material is in fact ferrostrunzite. |
