Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Burnt Mountain Mine; Burnt Hill Mine
Structure: Reg.Trends: Wash. Dmg Bull 37, P. 258
Tectonics: Active Margin (Leading Edge Of North American Plate)
Deposit: Discontinuous pods of Mn ore. About 425 ft south of main exposures are additional mineralized zones in two small pits and a short adit. Sparse Mn mineralization occurs in the southernmost pit in the siliceous cap rock; the other pit contains only loose fragments of the same material.
Deposit type: Volcanogenic Mn, Olympic Peninsula
Geology: Altered basalt is main country rock. Weathered basalt is yellowish to light-brown; newly fractured surfaces are fine grained and greenish-gray. Conspicuously absent is red limestone that usually accompanies mn. In direct association with the Mn mineralization is a highly siliceous, ferruginous "cap rock". A freshly fractured surface shows small veinlets of clear to milky crystalline quartz.
Rock formation(s): Crescent Formation;Crescent Formation
