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.

Album caption and index card: Scanning electron microscope photograph of Supai Group clay minerals. D, Authigenic chlorite flake; Andrus Canyon, Watahomigi Formation; x 20,900. Scale at bottom. Grand Canyon National Park. Mohave County, Arizona. n.d. Published as Figure 05-D in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1173. 1982.

Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Schistose greenstone along the Appalachian Trail at the base of Little Stony Man Cliffs. Here, a zone of breccia and schistose greenstone marks the boundary between the second and third flows above the base of the Catoctin Formation. The outcrop is approximately 3 feet high. Figure 7, U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1265.

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.

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.

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.
