StructureIrene Fault And Vein Trends Ene, With Diabase Out Crop To N Of Fault. Dripping Springs Quartzite With Underlying Pioneer Formation Are S Of The Fault., The Diabase Was Probably Intruded Along The Fault. Renewed Movement On The Fault After The Intrusion Of The Diabase Produced The Breccia Zone Along The Diabase Quartzite Contact Which Later Became The Channel Of Mineralizing Solutions. There Was Also Slight Displacement Along The Fault After Mineralization Took Place.
AlterationThe Oxidized Vein Matter Is A Soft, Porous Mass Consisting Largely Of Quartz, Chlorite, Quartzite Fragments, And Altered And Partly Replaced Diabase. Limonite And Powderly Masses Of Manganese Oxides Are Also Abundant Constituents.
