View along Belt Creek in sec, 11, T. 17 N., R, 6 E. Undulations in the bedding of the Kibbey sandstone are probably caused by collapse subsequent to removal or heaving due to hydration of one or more gypsum or anhydrite beds in the lower part of the formation, Beds 11 to 16 of the measured section on Belt Creek were measured along these bluffs.
