The Cuesta del Obispo corresponds to a zigzagging and steep section of provincial route 33, located between the Maray area of the Escoipe stream and the Piedra del Molino (3348 masl), in the province of Salta, in the north of the Argentine Republic, connecting the Lerma valley with the upper Calchaquí valley.
An area with Uranium manifestation whose mineralization permeates clay and sandstone sediments.
The Soddyite, finely disseminated, is found in lenticular, irregular, greenish-grey shales interbedded with sandstone and arkose banks.
It is observed along with Autunite, Meta-autunite, Phosphuranylite, Metatorbernite and Dewindtite (ex "Renardite").
Although the Soddyite was initially identified with doubts, following the revision of the x-ray diffractogram, its presence in this area was confirmed.
