Abstract

Discussion of a paper by Paul Dean Proctor [Geology of the Silver Reef (Harrisburg) Mining District, Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey, Bulletin 44, 1953]. Proctor9s list of 11 points favoring a syngenetic origin is reproduced and criticized in detail. An epigenetic origin is favored on the basis that mineralization in the area is structurally controlled and because ore-bearing sandstones are altered to a lighter color than adjacent zones.
