Species: | Huntite |
Formula: | CaMg3(CO3)4 |
Comments: | Soft white huntite is frequently found coating the magnesite-clay honeycombs. In the weathered underlying basalt flow it also occurs in vesicles, the walls of which are lined with magnesite. Another main occurrence is in the form of white nodules several inches in diameter in the unconsolidated red clay of the fossil soil. It is also found as small nodules in narrow vertical clay seams in the upper grey and green basalt flow. |
