Satelite View

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

Comments
Comment (Deposit): "Radiactive dinosaur bone, 0.13% U3O8 found in Morrison Formation". (MINOBRAS, p. A-23)
Comment (Location): MINOBRAS gives location as N2 of T42N, R115W. No idea where the sec. 3 came from. It is highly unlikely to be in sec. 3 as there is nothing there on that very flat plain that could remotely be interpretted as a "slide". [ABW, 04/01/2011]
