Roosevelt Dam
27
Mesocal li., 300'. Best exposure along Phoenix
road from "dam to a point about 100 yards beyond the
first sharp turn to east." Sand & flomitic chert li. with
little or no shale. Said Tice crazy, is this Cryptogon?
Rusty basalt 40'-60'. Particular top and bottom,
TrO2 quartzite, here better TrO2 sandstone.
On road between dam and cement quarry as follows:
Cross-bedded felly ss. Zonal beds massive, basal
bed striped red and gray. Differs beds Ticeina 100'
Cross-bedded felly ss. with horn mica ss. shale 40
Dark brown sh. grading up into ss. 20
Therefore there's a good deal here 160
Total Cambria 1380 feet
Martin li.= Devonian 300'+ thin bedded li., ss.,
a quartzite. Zonal beds compact gray li. Top is sh.
As a whole more sandy here than at Globe. Less frutiferous,
there is "sharp edge just east of dam and south of the cement
quarry" = Ophithkia striatula, Phinifera whitregi animes-
censis, etc.
Tornado li. Top eroded. Light gray fine li. Quarried
for cement. Until one's of dam on which stands the hotel. See
for fossils at Sandy Tree, about 5 miles E. of the dam. = Early
