Summary
The Badlands of North Dakota, fantastic shapes abound in every valley and ravine. In places flying buttresses support the slender columns and gargoyles may be seen projecting from beneath the roof. Even with the scanty rainfall of this region every stream has carved for itself a channel - great ones for the large streams and small almost infinitesimal ones for the tiny rivulets that trickle down the slope. Protoceras beds (greenish conglomerate capping the pillars), south of White Biver, below mouth of Porcupine Creek. Washington County, South Dakota. 1909. Plate 8-A in U.S. Geological Survey. Bulletin 611. 1915.
