These dark grey crystals have been identified as either anglesite or cerussite. The white lath-like structures were unable to be identified by EDS. The laths have a white, granular material on them that was also unable to be identified by EDS (possibly a calcite coating on the laths). I have included the EDS graph for the laths and the coating on them. They were collected on 9/14/19.
