Death Valley National Park, California. Tubular orifices in the fine sediments at Salt Springs near the north side of Borax Camp allow discharge of water to the valley floor. Light areas are accumulations of salts from previous discharges. Circa 1960. Figure 10, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B.

Gower Gulch at the north end of the Black Mountains. Borate-bearing fanglomerate partly sheared across steeply tilted borate beds. Basalt flow in playa clays in the distance. Mine portal at left of center. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938. Panorama in two parts. Photo 48 and 49. (see ttp00049)

Brecciated Ordovician (?) quartzite in basaltic fanglomerate at the north end of Artist Drive Hills near Mushroom Rock. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Volcanic rocks and sediments derived from them form the front of the Black Mountains at Artist Drive. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960.

Faulting in the Artist Drive Formation in the crest of the Black Mountains. View is southeast. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938. Panorama in two parts. Photo ttp00045 and ttp00046. (see ttp00046)
thumbnail
Playa deposits on the right are dropped against underlying volcanic flows to the left. View is southwest along the fault in photo ttp00050. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938. Panorama in two parts. Photo 50 and 51. (see ttp00050)
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. West distributary of Salt Creek where it crosses the smooth silty rock to the flood plain in Cottonball Basin. This channel is 32 feet wide and 1 foot deep. Much of the efflorescence on the channel upstream from the pool is mirabilite, the hydrous sodium sulfate. Circa 1960.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Concentric rings of the Death Valley salt pan. View is northwest from Dantes View. Badwater is in the lower left corner. Gypsum in the sulfate zone forms the crescentic deposit in the lower left center. Rock salt of the chloride zone extends over several square miles in the left center. Shoreline features of the Holocene lake that deposited the salts are plainly seen cutting across the toes of the fans on the far side of the valley. Photo by H.E. Malde, circa 1960.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Funeral Formation faulted against Precambrian rock along stripped fault surface in Upper Copper Canyon. 1956.
thumbnail
Fragments of bioclastic "trilobite- trash" bed typical of the lower part of the Carrara Formation. The trilobites are olenellids. Death Valley National Park, California. Circa 1960. Figure 19, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 494-A.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. West flank of the Black Mountains north of peak 4214, just south of Sheep Canyon in the lower right. The skyline ridge dropping to Death Valley, left and center, is the approximate profile of the surface of the Copper Canyon turtle back and is underlain near the crest by broadly arched metasedimentary rocks that grade into metadiorite near Sheep Canyon. 1957. Figure 3, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 413.

Funeral Fanglomerate faulted against borate clays of the Furnace Creek Formation 2 miles south of Zabriskie Point. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Cambrian formations at the mouth of Death Valley Canyon. View is north. In the left foreground is Zabriskie Quartzite (Cz). To the right of this and below the flat fault are 1,000 feet of shale and limestone of the Carrara Formation (Cc). The upper plate of the fault is mostly thick-bedded dolomite belonging to the Bonanza King and Nopah Formations (Cbn). Circa 1960. Figure 18, U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 494-A.
thumbnail
Cliffs formed by rainwash on basaltic fanglomerate in the Furnace Creek Formation 1 mile south of Furnace Creek Inn. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Stromatoporoid beds are abundant in the middle of the Lost Burro Formation. Circa 1960. Figure 30 (upper photo), U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 494-A.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Twenty-mule team tracks across the rough, silty rock salt. This is the original road across Death Valley. It was found by following the old trails and identified by the litter discarded along it. Circa 1960. Figure 31, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B. Drawing of photo.

Overturned beds of the Furnace Creek Formation dipping 70 degrees east at the upper end of the slot shown in photo ttp0033. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938. Panorama in two parts. Photo 33 and 34. (see ttp00033)
