Locality type:
Köppen climate type:
Structure: Wichita Mountains Lugert Granite Intrusive
Tectonics: Aulacogen
Development: First mentioned by polk (1948, map). Later by merritt (1958, map) and nichols (1968, p. 5, map).
Geology: Probably hydrothermal veins in lugert granite carried copper. The copper minerals were reworked in hennessey sea and incorporated with granite arkose. The arkose was oxidized, forming clay minerals and azurite and malachite. Polk (1948) and merritt (1958) discuss geology.
Rock formation(s): Lugert Granite;Hennessey Group
Ore(s): Veins In Granite, Weathered
