Structure: Starvation Peak Anticline, Bernal Fault, And The Serafina Monocline Starvation Peak Anticline, Bernal Fault, And The Serafina Monocline
Alteration: The Ore Is Markedly Oxidized.
Tectonics: Sangre De Cristo Uplift
Deposit: The ore occurs in an arkosic sandstone bed that dips 20 degree east. The mineralization is about 8 to 18 feet thick and can be seen in outcrop, intermittantly, for about 500 feet. Chalcocite was the primary copper mineral, and malachite the predominant oxidation mineral. The minerals occur As disseminations replacing the cementing material and As nodules and patches. A small amount of carbonaceous matter occurs in the bed.
Geology: Soule (1956, p.38) places the deposit in the permian ab0 formation. Johnson remapped the area in 1968 and placed this area in the permian sangre de cristo formation.
Rock formation(s): Sangre De Cristo
