Cross section of basaltic next exposed by erosion in Grant Ridges, 6 miles northeast of Grant, view looking southwest in sec. 3, T. 11 S., R. 9 W. Basalt in core is jointed in vertical columns and surrounded by a thin zone of platy jointing developed along the contact with white tuff. Bedded breccia overlies the tuff, and basaltic lava overlies the breccia on the far side of the cone. The tuff, chiefly rhyolitic, was erupted from Mount Taylor. Valencia County, New Mexico. 1931. Plate 11-A, U.S.Geological Survey Professional paper 189-B. 1938. Album: Hunt #62, Valencia County, New Mexcio, 1931. T. 11 S., R. 9 W, Sec. 3 View NW. at natural cross-section of a cinder cone 6 miles northeast of Grant. Columnar jointed...

Views in the badlands and mesa areas: Badlands in the upper part of the Ferron sandstone member of the Mancos shale, along state route 24, the highest badland hills are formed by the Blue Gate shale member of the Mancos shale. In the distance is Factory Butte. Wayne County, Utah. 1935. Figure 98-C, in U.S.Geological Survey Professional paper 228. 1953.

Views of stream channels and alluvium north of Mount Ellen [Peak]: This was the channel of the Fremont River prior to 1896. The channel, 65 feet wide and 5 ft. deep here, is part of a cut-off meander preserved in the alluvial plain where the Fremont joins the Muddy River (S 1/2 sec.3, T. 28 S., R. 11 E.) Wayne County, Utah. 1939. Figure 114- A, in U.S.Geological Survey Professional paper 228. 1953.

Thin section of diorite porphyry, from sill beneath the Copper Ridge laccolith; the lower part of the section is a hornblendic inclusion containing the same plagioclase and hornblende as the diorite porphyry. X 6. Garfield County, Utah. 1939. Figure 80-C, in U.S.Geological Survey Professional paper 228. 1953.

Intertonguing of Ostrea soleniscus marl with layers of the "Stray sandstone". The marl is composed largely of Ostrea soleniscus: The bed sandstone contains only scattered remains of the elongated oyster. View in sec. 9, T.14 N., R.9 W. Photo by, J.D. Sears.

Views along the southeast flank of the San Rafael Swell: West along the unconformity between the Morrison formation and the underlying Summerville formation. Gypsiferous conglomerate at the base of the Morrison formation fills channel eroded 50 ft. into the evenly bedded Summerville formation. Emery County, Utah. 1935.

Polished specimen of diorite porphyry from roof contact on the Pistol Ridge laccolith, the edge of scale (i.e. about 1/8 inch above middle bottom) marks the contact. The phenocrysts are crushed, rotated, and dragged linearly in a zone about 1 inch wide at the contact. Two inches from the contact the porphyry has the same texture and structure as i the center of the laccolith. Garfield County, Utah. 1939.
