On April 26, 2026, we set out to observe Bauxite mine pits & associated carbonate structures. This visit served as a continuation of our supportive geologic fieldwork to Mr. Wood’s ClarendonCopper.com Bauxite (Jamaica), research. To view another section of our field work, view our Bauxite Mystery (Hatfield-Treasure Beach) post.
Essentially, this visit highlighted a consistent display of vertical piping architecture; with potential heights in the hundreds of meters.
Bauxite Formation & Deposition Hypothesis
The bauxite observed displays signs of residual/laterization & vertical uplift with mold-like appearance–through potential semi-fluid & pressure dynamics. This potential semi-fluid & pressure dynamics, shows signs of partial contributions through tectonism.
Geologic Environment History of Hatfield, Porus & St. Toolis via Fossils & Lithology Observation
In Hatfield, Karst, White Limestone was observed. In Porus (Bauxite Mine), a bivalve fossil & benthic foraminifera were observed. Near St. Toolis, a coral fossil was observed, as well as zones of recrystallization (calcite). With these observations as highlights, the combined geologic history, reflects a near-shore to deep, marine deposition environment (intertidal-continental shelf).
