Jerome - Flagstaff, Thursday April 9, 1905
Got up at 6 AM, to get an early start for Flagstaff,
hut after all it was 9 before everything was in order to go.
It was just 1000 feet down here not miles and then by
Cottonwood and easy across the Verde River and the
Lake Bolo. Ahead one mile of the Rim.
At 23 miles early Jerome we began to get in the first
Dupai. This was in the lower part but out at the base. Forice
I saw goes 3 to 5 feet thick of an impure limestone con-
glomerate, mostly of the Dupai but to our surprise there
was also an occasional piece of the Garapi schist.
The pebbles are fairly well rounded, most often flat and
found together by a calcareous cement. Have a piece of
it. Later on I saw other interlaminated conglomerates,
but cannot them. Probably these congls. goes are more common
than appeared to me. The whole Dupai is said to be wood there.
The muddy phase of the Dupai predominates and
it in the deep red color of most of the Dupai. At times
the muddy zones are decidedly more redded, but as
a rule these strata show little of it. Rippling is rare
and often present in any restricted in area and of the
type made in shallow water. When clean sands occur there
are pink in color and decidedly earth red.
Dust goes are not common in the lower part but
and which from 3 to 6 feet thick,
begin the ones or above the middle and especially in the
