Alteration: Silicified Limestone
Tectonics: Basin And Range
Deposit: Deposits occur on the forty-one claims As north-striking fluorspar veins crossed by east-striking manganese veins in country rock of granitic composition. Deposits on the riverside claims occur As seams, veinlets and small pods in two or more north-striking siliceous fracture zones in limestone country rock. The riverside zones range from 5 ft. To 12 ft. Wide and are covered by 5 unpatented claims. This record contains data from record d010095 by ronald g. Worl which has been deleted from mrds. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept
Geology: Riverside claims are located in limestone and the forty-one claims are in precambrian granite. For regional geology see sierra caballos district.
