[Geysers] Hygeia Spring area Marshall Hotel site

Jack---I think you are confused. Your photo at
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3315/3417054706_02b3465e58.jpg?v=0 is of
RUSH LAKE, not of Hygeia Spring, not of the geyserite bathtub, and not of
ANYTHING at Marshall's.

Rush Lake is much farther southeast, near Microcosm Basin and Seven Hills.
In the background of your photo are Porcupine Hills, which are even farther
to the east.

See my book YELLOWSTONE PLACE NAMES for these names.

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?
