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.

Death Valley National Park, California. Burial mounds are numerous on the gravel fans near the Death Valley III and Death Valley IV sites. This was identified as a Death Valley IV mound; the Death Valley III ones are similar. Circa 1960.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Noonday Dolomite, showing structures of Scolithus tubes at the east foot of the mountain at the spur south of Galena Canyon. Circa 1960. Figure 9, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Dowels set on terracettes showed virtually no movement in several years. The terracettes seem to be stable in the present climate. They probably formed at a time when the climate was wetter, as it must have been at the time of the Holocene lake on the floor of Death Valley. Circa 1960.

Death Valley National Park, California. Travertine deposits at dry springs along the Furnace Creek fault zone. Two levels of the travertine can be seen. The lower one (tl) drapes over the side of Furnace Creek Wash (foreground) and reaches the floor of the valley. The upper travertine (tu) forms the bench at the skyline in the center. Pre-pottery type projectile points were found on the travertine. Circa 1960. Figure 56, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A. Sketch of portion of photo.

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.

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.

Death Valley National Park, California. Three pine trees growing on the Panamint Range are distributed altitudinally. On the highest point of the range, at Telescope Peak, is bristlecone pine, also known as foxtail pine (Pinus aristata), characterized by needles in bundles of five and cones with a long bristle-like prickle (right). Also on the summit, but at somewhat lower altitudes, is the limber pine (Pinus flexilis), also characterized by needles in bundles of five but distributed differently on the branchlets, and the cones are without prickles (center). At still lower altitudes, down to about 5,500 feet, is the pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla), characterized by single needles and by small cones yielding edible...

Death Valley National Park, California. Salt saucers, climax of the salt wedges and polygonally cracked salt crusts. The secondary cracks have so widened, the crusts have been thrust outward. These were old enough when photographed to have collected some silt (dark surface in lower left), and the bottom of each saucer is pierced by one or more drain holes. These saucers, one mile west of Badwater, were destroyed by solution when flooded in 1969. Figure 57, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B. Drawing of photo.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Shoreline at the foot of the fan north of Coffin Canyon. The greater salt content of the ground below the shoreline helps retain moisture and appears dark. Circa 1960. Figure 61, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Platy Precambrian schist in the south fork of Galena Canyon. Plates are about vertical and trend northwest. Circa 1960.
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
Death Valley National Park, California. Stands of mesquite around the Death Valley salt pan are dying back. The deterioration of the mesquite appears to be general, in part perhaps because of cutting but probably mostly because the water table has been dropping and the ground water is becoming increasingly saline. View is along Salt Creek east of the Salt Creek Hills.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Augen gneiss in the Amargosa thrust complex north of Hanaupah Canyon at the east foot of the Panamint Range. Circa 1960. Figure 99, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Projective points from the Death Valley II site recovered from a boulder-filled pit at a now-dry spring along Furnace Creek Wash. Note the white coating of calcium carbonate on the specimens second from left in the top row and second from right in the bottom row. In wet environments, such coatings form quickly, but in dry gravel, like at the mound, they form slowly. Scale in centimeters. Circa 1960.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Most fans show several shades of staining by iron and manganese oxides (desert varnish). The most stable and older surfaces are stained darkly, the least stable and youngest surfaces are without staining. Circa 1960
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Shoreline of Death Valley lake, 200 feet above sea level and 450 feet above the floor of the valley, forms a horizontal terrace across the hill in the center. This locality is on the ridge of faulted gravels 1 mile north of the Park Service residential area. Circa 1960.
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.

Death Valley National Park, California. Parts of the flood plain that are perennially damp, or even wet, develop a hummocky blister-like growth of silty salt. A recent flood that spread onto this ground deposited new salt (white) in the depressions, but there was not enough water to destroy the blister-like hummocks. Circa 1960.
