Pine - Jerome, Ariz., April 6, 1920
Started away from the "Mulberry Inn" at 8 A.M.
in a chilly cloudy morning. Pine is at 5600 foot above the
sea in front of Plateau escarpment. On the great cliffs
one can readily see the red Dupai dolmo, and near the
middle a peg band, and down up some red beds but
mostly beds of something smally the upper fold escarpment.
Leaving Pine after not one-half mile, one begins to as-
cend the escarpment, and often one get on the Flagstaff
road one see that it is cut into the Cremonia sandstones.
The top of the Plateau is about 7200 foot, so there is 1600
foot to be accounted for. The lower red Dupai is exposed
all about the level of Pine and it goes up to at least to the
grey band that may be 50 to 65 foot thick. I judge this to
be near the middle of the 1600 foot to be accounted for.
Apparently this is the "compact fragli, with floriflora camera-
tuo" of the Canyon Creek section described in page 35. If
this is correct then the Lower Dupai is at least 565 feet
thick. I do not know if this takes in the lower limestone
collected in Saturday last of Pine, and that was the floriflora
molyntanae - D. camarius fauna.
The Upper Dupai one did not make out, but seemingly it
is present above the grey band, and if so it is far more a sand-
stone series with then beds of shale. I estimate this gone
