[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 210533, member: 2436"] May have been a fresh water lake bed. :D Starting from the bottom sediments were laid down over a period of time. About half way up there is a layer of harder material. This layer was most likely the result of an event that laid down a bed of harder material that has been compressed by the weight on top causing a barrier. On top that that things went back to normal for a few million years. The Basalt could only come from Volcanic activity in the local area sealing the lot of. Over the next millennium, The whole deposit has lifted with the cap on top. If it was a gold bearing area maybe the Old Timers Hydraulically sluiced it of. I do not know where this is but the general history both in a Geographic and Mining sense should give away the area's secrets. Still an awesome place to look at and ponder. :) :) :) [/QUOTE]
