A salt dome structure located 4.2 km (2.6 miles) WSW of Corine, along the Anderson County line. It extends from Todd City to the NE for 6 miles. Discovered in 1925.
Mineralization is a salt dome deposit (Mineral occurrence model information: Model code: 252; USGS model code: 35a.4 (35ad); deposit model name: Salt domes: diapiric salt structures), hosted in Late Jurassic limestone and the Louann Salt. The ore body is a diapir at a thickness of 6,705.6 meters, depth-to-top of 515.72 meters, width of 4,023.25 meters and a length of 14,483.7 meters. The caprock is 14 to a 123 feet thick on the upper flanks of the dome and is absent from the dome crest. The depth to caprock is 1,692 feet; to salt is 1,829 feet; to the Louann salt is 22,000 feet. The surface expression is 19.5 square miles. Oil and gas production occurs from the flank of the dome. Local rocks include alluvium.
Local geologic structures include piercement faults.
Reserve-resource data: Halbouty, Michel T. (1979).
Reserves estimated from the top of the salt to 10,560 feet of depth; estimated above the Ecret James limestone (Glen Rose subgroup).
