Crust

The Crust field of the Sulfur section is used to record any appearance of a sulfur crust.

Sulfur crusts tend to be strongly associated with gypsum and may overlay or be mixed with gypsum crusts. Sulfur crusts appear as yellow, crusty deposits that are not tightly adhered to the underlying substructure. The thickness and color can vary. These crusts may appear high in a passage, near the ceiling but could appear almost anywhere. Look for them if indications of gypsum are present or especially if other sulfur formations are found in the area.

Massive

The Massive field of the Sulfur section should be used to record stations where sulfur in massive form can be found.

Massive sulfur deposits usually appear as pale-yellow to canary-yellow deposits. They can vary in size but are often large with their own contained vugs. Any appearance of sulfur is strongly associated with the other forms so look for them, too. Also, sulfur in all forms is strongly associated with gypsum and unless it has been removed by some means, gypsum formations of various kinds are likely to be found nearby as well.
