[Geysers] Hygeia Spring area Marshall Hotel site

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Very clearly the feature shown in the photo is NOT Hygeia Spring, for it is  
a rather small feature atop a geyserite mound. It also (apparently) supplied  
water to/toward the hotel, which would account for the wooden pipe shown on 
the  map.
 
Thus, the large pool and "geyserite bathtub" is clearly something else  that, 
so far as I know, has no name. If it did really serve as a bathtub, then  it 
seems highly likely that the squared-off end is artificial. Most definitely  
do not confuse this feature with Bath Spring (in the River Group) or with Baby  
Bathtub (also River Group).

I have  the following picture of the Hygeia Spring area of the very lower 
Lower Geyser  Basin (Marshall Hotel group) that I posted on another Yellowstone 
forum.   Originally I thought this feature was the same as Hygeia Spring. 
However, as I  researched the geography more, it appears (see map link below) that 
there is a  difference between the Hygeia Spring per se and the feature with 
the geyserite  tub.  
If so, what is the geyersite tub called (Bath Tub Spring, Bath  Spring ??).  
Also, was the "tub" (the squared section at the end)  manmade or natural?
