I still think that The Ovoid (it deserves capital letters) started below sea level as with the Dynacor property and with the giant upheaval when the earth was shaking, sputtering, spewing, it threw up a bunch of mountains in Peru, and one of them happened to land on Lori's lap instead of staying 2000 m under sea level. Fortunately for me and all who read this board, (except for Geer the non-believer), her skirt was long enough that we are riding on her laptails, so to speak. I still think that the veins under Dynacor are closely related to Tesoro, and the showings on their part of the hillside that go all the way up to their property line are the original subterraineous strata. Above that used to be the informales showings. I would love to stand on the new property and count how many are on our property above the end of their claim, and I think it is a reasonable guess that they extend all along and under Tesoro. But as ypou said, the amount on Lori's original claim make it a moot point, or is it?

Also gives food for thought that the Kirkland Lake area gold belts may have hidden ovoids below.

All that "other stuff" such as the C4 veins etc probably came a bit later, but I am not versed in geology so Sculp would know. Have to run now, will post more later.
