A S-salt deposit located 12.4 km (7.7 miles) SE of Rosenberg, on private land (private lease). Discovered in 1924. First production occurred in 1930. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 100 meters.
Mineralization is a salt dome deposit (Mineral occurrence model information: Model code: 255; USGS model code: 35a.7 (35ag); Deposit model name: Salt-dome sulfur), hosted in Middle Jurassic Louann limestone and salt. The ore body has a depth-to-top of 518 meters. Ore body No. 1 is sedimentary & tabular. Ore body No. 2 is disseminated, lenticular. The primary mode of origin was evaporation and the secondary mode was sedimentation. Primary ore control was lithology. The average thickness of unconsolidated material is 167 meters. Sulfur occurs in evaporites and limestone on the top and flanks of a salt dome. The sulfur was probably formed by hydrocarbon reduction of anhydrite, assisted by bacterial actions. Local rocks include Beaumont Formation, areas predominantly sand.
