CURRENT_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
ULTIMATE_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
This sample is brown. The spectrum shows intense features near 0.75 µ and 1.1 µ, due to transitions in ferric and ferrous iron, respectively, and features in the 1.4 and 2.2 to 2.4 µ region.
Sieve interval 74 - 250µm.
