2. MOON 1987 Journal 67 15 May Kelbaker Road between Hwy 66 and Hwy 40, San Bernardino Co., CA. black volcanic rocks and Bruce saw five of them. The chuckwallas seem more abundant here than in the surrounding mountains and the Granite and Providence Mountains (Species account: Chuckwalla). We also drove up to the southwest edge of the Marble Mountains to see where a common trilobite collecting site is. We didn't find any fossils but we saw the light colored shale where they can be found; its a wide, steep canyon at the end of a dirt road directly north of Chambless. then we stopped for gasoline and ice cream before heading back to the Granites. on Kelbaker Road just north of Hwy 66 we found an adult female Patch-nosed snake on the edge of the pavement (Species account: Western Patch-nosed Snake). This afternoon has still been overcast but with less rain than earlier in the morning. 20°C at 1900 PST. Drove Kelbaker Road and Vulcan mine cont'd.
