Summary
Album caption: The Thousand Pockets Tongue of the Page Sandstone (Jptp) and gypsiferous member of the Carmel Formation (Jcg) in Averett Canyon about 9 km southwest of Cannonville, Utah. The Thousamd Pockets is grayish orange and forms the light-colored slop above the red slopes of the banded member of the Carmel (Jcb). The gypsiferous member consists of a cliff-forming white gypsum bed about 10 m thick overlain by a platy slope-forming grayish-yellow-green unit of interbedded mudstone and gypsum about 3.7 m thick. A thin limestone marker bed (ls) capping the ridge is included in the upper member of the Carmel (Jcau), rather than with the gypsiferous member as had been done by previous workers. The locality is about 1.1 km northwest [...]

A thin limestone marker bed (ls) capping the ridge is included in the upper member of the Carmel (Jcau), rather than with the gypsiferous member as had been done by previous workers. The locality is about 1.1 km northwest of the locality shown in figure 13 where the banded member grades southeastward into the lower part of the Thousand Pockets Tongue. Thus, the part of the banded member visible here is a facies of the lower part of the Thousand Pockets farther southeast. Looking northeast in the NW 1/4 sec. 23, T. 38 S., R. 3 W. Kane County, Utah. ca. 1975. (Graphics on published photo only).
