Abstract
The specimens of wavellite described below were collected approximately one mile northeast of Kern post office, along Big Stony creek, Giles County, Virginia, during July 1938. The mineral occurs in red sandstone of Clinton age as incrustations on joint planes. The sandstone is colored red to brownish red by iron oxides, and its Niagaran age is indicated by its fossil content. Wavellite is not at all a common mineral in virginia or elsewhere, and only small amounts were collected at this one locality in Giles County.
