Salanfe Au-As-W skarn deposit

Ubehebe Peak skarn

View to the NE from the flank of Ubehebe Peak, looking across the Racetrack towards the Cottonwoods.

Necessary image of the famous sliding rocks on the Racetrack.

Tabular olivines from the outer forsterite zone of the prograde contact aureole! These are the focus of my current research. Close to the Ubehebe Peak intrusion, which is a member of the Hunter Mountain batholith, the forsterite is small and equigranular but farther away in the outer contact aureole the forsterite is large and tabular (not skeletal!).

Atoll garnets from the skarn.
