"Here they range in depth from 3 to 10 feet.
Upon 3,000 ft. In the lower half there are irregular thin
bands of a greenish color, sometimes nodular and then con-
tinuous and in thickness from 1/4 mile up several miles
in depth. It seemed to me these are caliche deposits.
When one gets to Ledoma we found the formations
to be more beautiful amphitheater of Lupai temple
pillars and jagged spurs. Near all of these are
of the Lupai and it is not as one gets nearer the
Rim that the Cocoonine and the Raitat are pre-
sent. This place ought to make a good tourist place.
Ledoma from Oak Creek about 33 miles from Jerome
or 37 miles from Flagstaff.
Most of my films 3, 4 and 5 (1-2) are of this Ledoma area.
The Lower Lupai appears to be unbroken in the
Upper Lupai (about 3,000 ft), which is tan and because
it has for some finding to pull out white sandstone
from 3 to 10 feet thick. Many all of these are decidedly
corroded. Then the Upper Lupai appears to form
broken into the thick Cocoonine (3,700 ft thick), and
below it is corroded but soon goes into the dry
foresetting or well seen in the Grand Canyon.
Most of the sand grains are somewhat rounded and
the cavern bands are of well rounded sand like
the Tor Speciman itself. It was not well enough
exposed to look for any phidion tracks. The foresetting
