He referred to all Buck Creek samples as such, but on several cards indicated that the samples were from either Corundum Knob or Big Shaft. In these instances we've put that information in the Comments field. If there is no information in the Comments field regarding location, these samples are in collection simply as Buck Creek.Rock NameduniteDistrictNorth CarolinaMineBuck CreekExternal LinkMindatDeposit TypeAlpine peridotiteGeo-Coords^[1]Donated ByUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison Department of GeoscienceReference MaterialACL-191: Hatcher, R.D., and Butler, J.R., eds., 1979, Guidebook for Southern Appalachian Field Trip in the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Northeastern Georgia, September 9-15, 1979; IGCP Proj. 27, 117 p.
