outcropping lenses of the ree-bearing mineral lens shaped outcrops of the REE-bearing mineral ... Explanation: Here are 2 links of what a lens-shaped geological outcrop can look like: - It can be round like in the top link supplied; - but not necessarily: you may have seen shots of 'Uluru' (Ayers Rock) in Central Australia (bottom link supplied) * What gives it its name is its convex profile (not its contour shape), like the surfacing back of a blue whale about to dive. Of course, such a visible formation gives away the presence of a huge deeper rocky mass totally different from its geological environment, a bit like an iceberg in an ocean of softer earth or sandy soil. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2014-05-07 01:48:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops!
