Colorado National Monument, Colorado. Eastern end of Kodels Canyon Fault on the west side of Fruita Canyon. There is no visible displacement except for considerable thinning of Wingate Sandstone. The high cliff of Wingate Sandstone on the left rests on slopes of Chinle Formation. The pinon and juniper-covered slope near the middle is Kayenta Formation resting on thinned Wingate Sandstone. Entrada Sandstone forms the low cliffs on the right. Circa 1950. Figure 32, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 451.

Glacier National Park, Montana. Altyn Limestone in the lower slopes of Appekunny Mountain, northeast of Many Glacier Hotel. This view is at the type locality of the formation, close to the site of the former settlement of Altyn. The Lewis overthrust is at the base of the cliffs, and the smooth slopes below are underlain by shale of Cretaceous age, which yields few outcrops. July 6,1901. Figure 2, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 296.

Glacier National Park, Montana. Flank of Mount Cleveland with Chief Mountain in the background, viewed southeast from Stoney Indian Peaks. Middle Belt carbonate sill crops out along the cliff face above the prominent red bed in the Snowslip Formation. August 21, 1983.

Colorado National Monument, Colorado. Updragged Wingate Sandstone along Redlands Fault, looking northwest from a side road 1.5 miles southwest of the intersection of South Camp Road and South Broadway. The white "pimple" atop the cliff near the left skyline is Liberty Cap, an erosional remnant of the Wingate Sandstone, reachable via the Liberty Cap Trail. Here the Chinle Formation was largely squeezed out along the fault. 1976. Figure 38, U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1508.

Album caption and index card: Contorted stratification in sandstones of the Supai Group, Grand Canyon. A, Anticlines and synclines in Wescogame Formation from pene-contemporaneous tight folding of sand body. Traces of structure etched on the surface by weathering, Thunder Riever Trail. Hammer for scale. Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. n.d. Published as Figures N6-A and N2-B in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1173. 1982.

Album caption and index card: The Watahomigi and Manakacha Formations in Grand Canyon region, Arizona. B, Watahomigi slope between cliffs of Manakacha, above, and Redwall, below; Havasu Canyon. Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. n.d. Portion published as Figure C5-B in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1173. 1982.
thumbnail
Glacier National Park, Montana. Intense soft-sediment deformation produced during pillow emplacement at Granite Park. The pillow in the lower right corner is entirely buried. The basal contact of the Purcell lava with the Snowslip Formation is, thus, locally very irregular. 1982. Figure 9-B, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 85-543.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Fractured cobble conglomerate in the Titus Canyon(?) Formation of Stock and Bode (1935). The fractures extend through the cobbles, and some cross from one cobble to another. They are oriented at right angles to the bedding, which approximately parallels the elongation of the cobbles. Displacements along the fractures are mostly less than a quarter of an inch. Circa 1960. Figure 41, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 494-A.

Index card: In Marble Canyon at 27 Mile Rapids. Channel in erosion surface at top of Lower Slope Unit (Watahomigi Formation) in Supai Group, at base of Manakacha cliff unit. Woman at left for scale. Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. 1967. (Similar to E.D. McKee no. 330). Similar to black and white photograph published as Figure H3-B, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1173.

Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Columnar jointing in greenstone. Large column along the Appalachian Trail about 200 feet south of Little Stony Man parking area. The column is cut by cleavage which dips east, away from the observer. The segment of the coluiai above each cleavage plane is offset westward from the segment beneath as a result of movement during formation of the cleavage. Column is approximately 2 feet in diameter. Figure 9 (right), U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1265.

Death Valley National Park, California. Thin-bedded middle member of the Bonanza King Formation on the north side of Trail Canyon. View is north. This member, about 600 feet thick, forms a distinctive unit separating massive thick-bedded dolomite comprising the upper and lower members of the formation. Circa 1960. Figure 22, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 494-A.

Index card: Contact between sets of tabular planar crossbeds, calcareous sandstone, Wescogame Formation, Fishtail Canyon near Thunder River Trail. Rule for scale. Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. 1967. (Similar to E.D. McKee no. 193). Similar to black and white photo published as Figure K14-D, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1173. 1982.

Death Valley National Park, California. Ovaloid brachiopods may be found in light tan, shaly and sandy beds that occur near the middle of the Bonanza King Formation. With the brachiopods are fragments of trilobites. Circa 1960.
