Location: This possible occurrence, known only from a U.S. Bureau of Mines claim map (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1979), reportedly is in the vicinity of the Texas Creek Comstock deposit (BC037). It is approximately located in Section 22 at an elevation of about 3700 feet on a mountainside west of Ferguson Glacier (Elliott and Koch, 1981, p. 13, loc. 38). The location is probably accurate within about a half mile.
Geology: The country rocks in the general area of this reported mineral occurrence are pelitic metasedimentary and subordinate andesitic metavolcanic strata of the Jurassic or older Mesozoic Hazelton Group, which is underlain and locally intruded by the Triassic Texas Creek Granodiorite (Smith, 1977; Koch, 1996). There is no other publicly available geologic information about this occurrence.
