7/31/87 Drove to Thermopolis, Wyo. from Marmarth, N.D. (410 mi). went by way of Elkaka, Mont. and spoke w/ Marshall Lambert at The Carter Co. Museum. & Showed us a baby Pachycephalo- saurus skull he had found near Elkaka. Talked of his work with the museum and how he has had very little help in keeping it up or building it. The museum is in a new location since my visit to the basement of the high school in the late 60's. Marshall has added to an old garage that forms the nucleus of the museum. From there we took the gravel and dirt road to Powellville across some wide open prairie and broken, pine-forest rims and buttes. crossed Beaver Divide & went past "Claw Butte!" Last traces of the Eastern deciduous forest passed shortly after dropping off the Beaver Flats rim before the divide between Beaver creek and the Powder River Green Ash, American or Red Elm in gallery x woodlands.

8/18/87 Sec 8741 will continue but observations in the area of the Scorpion Hollow Fault clearly indicate that terrestrial sedimentation occupies the interval from the top of the Judith River SS. Dominated fluvialite sequence to the top of the LANCE. No trace if the 11 bedded ssf/mudst. sequence was noted in the this interval either. The whole Meeteetse interval here looks far more "soilified" here than in the Bobcat pass area and both of these more so than in the southern Bighorn Basin. Of the three pollen samples taken none really looked promising The LANCE is really a series of relatively broad, shallow channel leuses (on order of 1/4 to 2mi) interspersed with leached "Hell creek" looking sediment. No unconformity or disconformity was observed. Fox Hills / Bear Paw interval here from APE map is flat-out wrong.
