Yosemite National Park, California. The curving back of Half Dome is enveloped largely by a single, enormous shell. Its surface is not only striped with lichens, as are most cliffs in the Yosemite region, but it is fluted in places. The rock grains washed down from the summit have worn furrows in it several feet in depth. At the base are several imperfect arches produced by dropping off parts of shells. Circa 1913. Plate 50-A, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 160.
Yosemite National Park, California. Typical pothole of subglacial origin at the lower end of Tuolumne Meadows. Above the pothole are remnants of a torrent channel extending across a steep rock slope where, manifestly, no stream could have flowed in the open. The rock slope and the channel are in part still veneered with glacier polish. Several of the cobbles that did the grinding lie in the pothole. A pine tree has taken root in the granite sand that has been washed into the hole. 1903. Plate 34-B, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 160.

Caption from publication: Volcanic mudflow deposit on Rancheria Mountain. Brown, smooth-appearing slope to the right, at middle distance, is underlain by a volcanic mudflow deposit filling an ancient stream channel. This photograph, which is another view of the channel in figure 30, shows it position on the slope above Piute Creek, which drains away from the viewer to the present canyon of the Tuolumne River in the background. The former Tuolumne River flowed from left to right into the base of the brown area, concealed by trees in the center of the photograph, and at this point was more thatn 1,500 ft. above the present canyon of the Tuolumne. This difference in elevation indicates the amount of stream incision...

Yosemite National Park, California. Mortar holes and pestle on a granite boulder near Harden Lake. Circa 1907.
Yosemite National Park, California. Pocket of feldspar crystals in granite near Round Meadow on the Tuolumne River. The largest crystal is 5 inches in diameter. The pocket occurs in a granite characterized by scattered phenocrysts of feldspar. In some tracts, the phenocrysts are partly concentrated in bunches or pockets. 1903.
Yosemite National Park, California. End of the spur between McClure Glacier and the next cirque north. The rock is massive granite. The terrace and cliff contouring the spur are the results of glacial erosion. In the foreground is a rock-basin lake. Beyond the spur are moraines built by the glacier formerly occupying the cirque. 1903.
