Death Valley National Park, California. Furnace Creek Formation at the north end of the Black Mountains. View is southwest and west of Zabriskie Point, an overlook by Highway 190 about 3 miles up Furnace Creek Wash from Furnace Creek Inn. The base of the Furnace Creek Formation is at the topographic break between the badlands and the rougher, higher ground in the distance on the left. Light-colored playa beds about 2,500 feet thick extend to the base of a conglomerate which forms the dark cliff at the right. The beds are dipping to the right (north) into the Texas Spring Syncline. The center of the photograph looks west across Death Valley to the Panamint Range at Aguereberry Point; Tucki Mountain on the right....

Album caption and index card: Boulder of granite rock (quartz monzonite) in process of breaking up by exfoliation (peeling of the rock surface like shells of an onion). Probably the exfoliation is due to hydration that causes some of the minerals to swell. The exfoliated shells are breaking down farther into the coarse grit. Death Valley National Park, Inyo County, California. ca. 1960. (Photo by J.R. Stacy). Sketch of portion of photo published as figure 49 in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A. 1966.

Death Valley National Park, California. Contrast between No. 3 (right) and No. 4(left) gravels. No. 3 gravels are stained with desert varnish; No. 4 gravels, being subject to washing at the present time, are not. No. 3 gravels are firmly embedded in the ground; No. 4 gravels are loose. The No. 3 gravel here is without vegetation because, being more compact than the No. 4, less water infiltrates the ground. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960. Figure 62, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.

Album caption and index card: Evenly bedded Moenkopi Formation forming lower part cliff overlain by mudstone to sandstone and some lenticular limestone of Chinle Formation. Looking north at Mummy Cliff. Capitol Reef National Monument, Wayne County, Utah. April 1964.

Death Valley National Park, California. The last big earthquake in Death Valley accompanied the faulting that produced this escarpment near the road just south of the Furnace Creek fan. The fault movement occurred about 2,000 years ago, and since that time the fault escarpment has been buried where it crossed the mouths of the canyons issuing from the Tertiary formations at the north end of the Black Mountains. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960. Figure 72, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A. Sketch of photo.
