I will be away for about a week, and may not be able to do any posting. I'll be on a field trip of sorts, examining a mineral deposit in western Nevada. We'll see what I can do as far as photos or road trip info when I get back.
Enjoy the field. By the way, do you take requests? I'm curious about the geology of Basin & Range silver deposits. Here in Australia, silver is a byproduct of base metal mineralization (of which we have lots). How do you you get an economic accumulation of silver without the millions of tons of Pb and Zn?

Have a good trip!

Chuck, I'll try to do something about the silver-gold deposits of Nevada, like the Comstock Lode, sometime when I get to a better spot for posting.
Thanks for the interest!
