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)

Death Valley National Park, California. Burro Trail fault on the south side of Trail Canyon. Nopah Formation in the upper plate lies almost horizontally on the almost horizontal thrust fault. The lower plate is Bonanza King Formation. Circa 1960. Figure 116, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.

Death Valley National Park, California. Furnace Creek Formation at the north end of the Black Mountains. View is southwest and west of Zabriskie Point, an overlook by Highway 190 about 3 miles up Furnace Creek Wash from Furnace Creek Inn. The base of the Furnace Creek Formation is at the topographic break between the badlands and the rougher, higher ground in the distance on the left. Light-colored playa beds about 2,500 feet thick extend to the base of a conglomerate which forms the dark cliff at the right. The beds are dipping to the right (north) into the Texas Spring Syncline. The center of the photograph looks west across Death Valley to the Panamint Range at Aguereberry Point; Tucki Mountain on the right....

Death Valley National Park, California. Bioclastic bed with fragments of trilobites and brachiopods from shale unit at the base of the Nopah Formation. Circa 1960. Figure 23, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.

Death Valley National Park, California. Amphipora(?) beds are abundant in the middle of the Lost Burro Formation. Circa 1960. Figure 30 (lower photo), U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.

Death Valley National Park, California. Interbedded shale, quartzite, and dolomite in the upper part of the Wood Canyon Formation in the ridge along the north side of Blackwater Wash. The thick bed in the upper right is dolomite; below this is quartzite and shale. Circa 1960. Figure 15, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.

Death Valley National Park, California. Johnnie Formation on the north side of Six Spring Canyon. The hilltops are capped by Stirling Quartzite. The dark beds forming the upper half of the hillside are the purple shale member The light beds in the middle and lower half are the shale member capped by dolomite. Circa 1960. Figure 11, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-A.

Death Valley National Park, California. Funeral Formation faulted against Precambrian rock along stripped fault surface in Upper Copper Canyon. 1956.
thumbnail
Death Valley National Park, California. Zoning of xerophytic plants on the lower part of the fan at Johnson Canyon. Foreground is cattle spinach; beyond are dark shrubs, creosote bush. Farther up the fan, the gravels are darkly stained with desert varnish. The surface there has desert pavement which favors runoff and minimizes infiltration, and the ground is bare. The gravels here and farther south in Death Valley are mostly derived from Precambrian formations, and the ground is sandier than it is farther north in the valley. Cattle spinach grows on the toes of the sandy fans; desert holly grows on the toes of the less sandy ones. circa 1960.

Death Valley National Park, California. Linguloid brachiopods and trilobites from shaly zone near the middle of the Bonanza King Formation in Trail Canyon. Circa 1960.
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.

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.
