Summary
Yosemite National Park, California. Glacial striae 1 mile northwest of Mono Pass. The direction of ice motion was from the distance toward the foreground. The principal striated surface is a joint face from which a block has been removed by plucking. Note that the right margin of this face, lying in the lee of a more prominent rock, has few striae and retains the character of a joint wall. The left margin is more worn and more thoroughly striated and is scored at the top by rough chattermarks. 1903.
