Location: Samples 50AB076 and 50AB078. Known to within eight miles.
Geology: Ocurrence consists of phosphatic, uranifereous(?) pelletal rock from the Alapah Limestone of the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian Lisburne Group. Pelletal phosphate with quartz, purple fluorite and carbonaceous matter, occurs in a calcite matrix in the black shale and chert member of the Alapah.
Workings: Samples of phosphatic, uranifereous(?) pelletal rock contain 15% and 21.4% P2O5. Highest radioactivity was 0.014% eU. Field samples No. 50AB076 and No. 50AB078
