This deposit is located in a road cut in the NE1/4 sec. 32, T. 165., R. 2 W. of the Eugene quadrangle. The zeolites occur in a basalt flow which at minimum is 8 m thick. The basalt consists of about 75 percent labradorite, 20 percent clinopyroxene, 5 percent magnetite, and small amounts of nontronite and altered olivine. The upper 3 m of the flow is vesicular, altered, and purplish-grey; this is gradational with about 2 m of grey, dense basalt. Zeolites compose about 10 percent of the flow and occur in vesicles, vugs, and fractures. Cavities which are not intersected by fractures are not mineralized. The secondary minerals in order of abundance are thomsonite, mesolite, analcime, chabazite, calcite, nontronite. Heulandite, stilbite, and copper are uncommon. Thomsonite and mesolite are by far the most common zeolites in the upper part of the flow; chabazite and analcime predominate in the lower part.
