Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Identification): Unverifiable record. Probably was plotting about 1 mile too far west, in Sec. 1, T26N, R120W. Should be in the Phosphoria Formation, most likely in T26N, R119W, sec. 6, in the same outcrop of Phosphoria as the Raymond Canyon Phosphate. ABW moved coordinates to Raymond Canyon.
Comment (Geology): RA ASSOC WITH V AND PHOSPHATE IN SHALE IN PERMIAN PHOSPHOR
