View looking northward at a series of mudstone and limestone beds of uncertain age. Red Rocks area near Sterling. These beds, probably part of the Cedar Mountain Formation, consist chiefly of reddish mudstones, some thin shaly siltstones, and a light-gray limestone. The central part of the photograph contains the red mudstones, which contain gastroliths. Professor Stokes (University of Utah) believes that the gastroliths can be used almost as index fossils to identify these beds as the Cedar Mountain Formation. Location is just northeast of the Red Rocks exposure in the SW1/4, Sec. 7, T. 19 S., R. 2 E. Sanpete County, Utah. Spring 1980.
