as daring about a thickness of 300 feet, it may of course
be less in some; other data given it is a guess.
Then comes the Coconino sandstone, a yellowish-
white fine grained sandstone. It is all exceedingly corn
bedded with occasional beds rippled. The lower two-
thirds is true corn bedded, the presenting being in various
directions. The upper third has large zones of presetting
that run more general are southward or southeastward. How
thick it is one did not stop to estimate, but at Canyon
Creek it is 535 feet thick. It is probably as thick here.
We saw our fossils from the can see any indication that
such might occur. Yet the road cutting is so new and
fresh due that some repair may come to study it.
Finally when one gets on the top of the Plateau one
are in the lower beds of the Kaibat imprecise direction.
This is at about 7000 feet, then one saw a road sign
saying the level was 7253 feet, also in the Kaibat
with much more above. Therefore the Kaibat is at
least 400 feet thick and may be as thick as in the
Grand Canyon where it is 400 to 600 feet depending on
the amount of erosion. We saw all this on the top of
Strawberry Mountain, and collected a lot of fossils
are along side of the road about six miles out from Pine
in the File of staff road. These come from the lower part.
