Structure: A Steeply-Dipping East-Trending Fault East-Trending, Steeply Dipping Fault

Tectonics: San Pedro-Ortiz Porphyry Belt

Deposit: The ore occurs in a limestone replacement deposit of pipelike shape, elliptical in cross-section, measuring about 60 feet across in the widest places. It follows a particular bed downdip about 3000 feet. The pipe formed at the intersection of a favorable bed and a steeply dipping, eastward-trending fault. The pipe is said to have widened near north-trending cross-faults and in other places it pinched down to a narrow vein. A complex manganiferous gossan was found near the surface. The primary minerals are coarsely crystalline sphalerite and argentiferous galena, a little pyrite, chalcopyrite and alabandite in a coarse quartz-calcite gangue. Discovery year: 1880's

Rock formation(s): Madera Limestone


Ore(s): A Favorable Bed And An East-Trending, Steeply-Dipping Fault
