Album caption and index card: Hot River. Hot carbonated spring water undercut the old horizontally bedded travertine deposits until individual blocks collapsed under their own weight. Direction of flow is toward the viewer. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. n.d. Published as Figure 23, U.S. Geological Survey. Bulletin 1444. 1978.

Album caption and index card: Seismic Geyser, during an explosive thermal eruption. Note the trees that have been killed by the heat and eruptive activity. According to George D. Marler of the U.S. National Park Service, this geyser developed from a crack caused by the Hebgen Lake Earthquake of August 17, 1959. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. 1970.

Album caption: Wyo - Y.S.N.P. Index card: Minute Geyser in major eruption about 20 m high. Geyser was later vandalized by filling its large western vent (left) with rocks that became firmly cemented by sinter. The small eastern vent, here steaming vigorously, continues to have minor eruptions several meters high. View is looking northeast. Norris Geyser Basin. Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming. September 1947. Published as Figure 46 in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1456. 1988.

Album caption and index card: Cliff outcrops of Cambrian and Ordovician rocks, viewed southward from Bighorn Pass, Gallatin Range. On right, lower cliff is Pilgrim Limestone; middle platy beds are Sage Limestone member of Snowy Range Formation; upper cliff is Bighorn Dolomite. Cliffs in cirque headwall (center left) are part of Indian Creek laccolith. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Circa 1967. Published as Figure 7 in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 729-A. 1972. Note: Photos ret00205 and ret00206 form a panorama.

Album caption and index card: A large magma chamber formed deep within the earth, and the molten rock began to force its way slowly toward the surface. As it pushed upward, it arched the overlying rocks into a broad dome. The arching produced a series of concentric fractures, or a ring fracture zone, around the crest of the dome. The fractures extended downward toward the top of the magma chamber. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. 1970. Published as Figure 23-A in U.S. Geological Survey. Bulletin 1347. 1971.

Album caption and index card: Pinyon Conglomerate, Mount Sheridan measured section. Entire rock has been so completely impregnated with secondary silica that it is hardly recognizable as a conglomerate. One quartzite boulder is outlined below the knife at the upper right. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Circa 1966. Published as Figure 5, page 125 in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 650-D. 1969.

Album caption: Wyo - Y.S.N.P. Index card: Coral Spring, discharging high SiO2 water that ponds and cools enough to polymerize to light-scattering colloidal SiO2 with characteristic opalescent- blue color. Note thin sinter crusts deposited at water level and flowline trends (center). Piece of wood in the left foreground is about 0.3 m long. Norris Geyser Basin. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. September 1959. Published as Figure 9 in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1456. 1988.

Album caption: Wyo - Y.S.N.P. Index card: Accumulated frozen spray about 4 m thick from Africa Geyser, melting mainly from base upward due to high near-surface heat flow in Porcelain Basin. Note basal discontinuity of snow layering and partial melting of layers adjacent to the warm stream. Norris Geyser Basin. Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming. April 1979. Published as Figure 61 in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1456. 1988.
