Traillindicates that petalite and tremolite were found in a boulder on the shore of Lake Ontario. This was according to an earlier author: W.E.Logan (1863) Geology of Canada. Geological Survey of Canada at p.481. That reference simply states: "Petalite is here mentioned among the minerals of Canada, upon the authority of Dr. Bigby, according to whom this mineral was found with tremolite, in a large boulder on the lake shore, at Toronto."
Coordinates are general for the lake shore only.
