CURRENT_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
ULTIMATE_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
Sample is tan in color.
Note: The absorption band at .9 µm may be due to Fe-bearing
illite.
END_SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION.
XRD_ANALYSIS:
Analysis by Norma Vergo indicates the sample is clay + quartz + others. The less than 2µm cut has quartz, R1, illite/smectite layers, 70% illite.

COMPOSITION_DISCUSSION:
XRF Analysis by Branch of Analytical Chemistry, USGS, Denver. Total above includes LOI value rather than H2O values, and does not include value for FeO as it was determined at same time as H2O. Trace analysis was performed and will be added later.
