Remarkable pocket-like features, suggesting filled burrows or potholes, and pebbles and boulders of quartz and quartzite from colluvium. Botryoidal quartzite from colluvium 5.5 miles south of Oxford. Lafayette County, Mississippi. October 4, 1914. Plate 55-F in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918

Stratification and general appearance of material formerly regarded as "Lafayette Formation," at and near Oxford, the type locality, now regarded as belonging to the Wilcox group. Intraformational unconformity between stratified reddish sand and white clay half mile east of Oxford. Lafayette County, Mississippi. September 23, 1914. Plate 47-C in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Illustrating occurrence and mode of development and the excellent exposures afforded by old-field gullies; such gullies may have played an important part in the Pliocene erosion of the region, though they were no doubt much less numerous than today. The part played by the sod in resisting erosion is well shown. Many of the gullies have rounded instead of V-shaped head and evidently grow neither through erosion by water flowing into their heads nor through softening of materials by underground water issuing as a seepage, but only because of the fact that the rain which falls in them finds erosion easier than that which falls on sodded areas; 8 miles south-southwest of Yazoo City, Yazoo County, Mississippi.

Illustrating peneplain and monadnocks: Thackers Mountain, a monadock, from point 5.5 miles south of Oxford. Lafayette County, Mississippi. October 1, 1914. Plate 60-C in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Stratification and general appearance of Pliocene and early Pleistocene terrace deposits, most of which have been classified as "Lafayette Formation." The strata seems to range generally from 5 to 10 feet in thickness and to be comparatively persistent and yet lenticular and theses seem to be diagnostic features; detail from sew01324; type exposure of Port Hudson formation at Port Hickey, probably early Pleistocene but shows same general form of stratification as Pliocene terrace deposits. Louisiana. June 9, 1915. Plate 48-G in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Residuum or material in place but modified somewhat by weathering, though little if any part has been removed. The residuum seems to contain material brought to it in solution and in form of minute particles by the way of pores, from the strata removed in the Pliocene and other epochs. Wilcox group at Oxford. Lafayette County, Mississippi. October 13, 1913. Plate 56-C in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Exposures suggestive of origin of colluvium, showing particularly that it commonly fills hollows and is in some places though rarely double; colluvium with angular fragments of iron-cemented sandstone at base. Fourmile Creek, 2 miles east of Oxford. Lafayette County, Mississippi. September 24, 1914. Plate 53-E in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Geological Survey Professional Paper 108, 1918, Plate 52-C caption: Typical exposures of colluvium, the colluvium shows little or stratification and contains quartz pebbles and other elements commonly lacking in underlying formations, also angular fragments of iron cemented sandstone; colluvium, from 5 to 15 feet thick, resting on Eutaw formation about 2 miles northwest of Leedy. Tishomingo County, Mississippi. May 29,...

Exposures suggestive of origin of colluvium, showing particularly that it commonly fills hollows and is in some places though rarely double. Small valley filled with colluvium 8 miles southeast of Corinth. Alcorn County, Mississippi. May 29, 1915. Plate 53-C in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Stratification and general appearance of massive, cross-bedded, and laminated material formerly included in the "Lafayette Formation," Now interpreted as belonging with various formations underlying Mississippi. Indistinctly cross-bedded sand of Eutaw formation(?), with clay pebbles and streaks, 1 mile east of Iuka; altitude 600 feet Lafayette County, Mississippi. September 19, 1914. Plate 46-D in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Illustrating reddening and probable concentration of iron compounds near the surface, 4.5 miles south of Oxford; sand is white under clay lens showing in upper part of view but reddened to each side. Lafayette County, Mississippi. October 2, 1914. Plate 57-H in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Typical exposures of colluvium, the colluvium shows little or stratification and contains quartz pebbles and other elements commonly lacking in underlying formations, also angular fragments of iron cemented sandstone. Colluvium with fragments of iron cemented sandstone at base, south edge of Oxford. Lafayette County, Mississippi. September 24, 1914. Plate 52-B in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 108. 1918.

Exposures suggestive of origin of colluvium, showing particularly that it commonly fills hollows and is in some places though rarely double. Panorama of colluvium 10 miles southeast of Corinth; the concretionary mass beneath the collecting bag throws light on the origin of the surficial deposit, for it contains many Eutaw fossils, is very fragile and has evidently been let down from the concretionary layer seen in the distance at a stratigraphic position about 10 feet higher. The concretion is of a kind characteristic of this layer. The associated pebbles, however, are not common, if indeed such pebbles occur at all in the underlying Eutaw formation, and hence the conclusion seems unavoidable that the coarser parts...
