through which extend ridges of Pennsylvanian
limestone. These are on both sides of Sawmill
canyon, but the eastern side is marked
in Schraders Pm. (Devonian). There is no
Devonian here but I did not see it; all the
forms down are clearly Pennsylvanian.
Left a few forms and turned west to
Strugman.
For more detail see F.C. Schrader in
Bull. 582 (1910) J.S. S.D., "Mineral Deposits
of the Santa Rita and Patagonia Mts."
After seeing the basal Devonian in the
Whetstone Out it is now clear that I did see
very similar Dev. in Sawmill Canyon. Above
the Devonian must be some Mississippian since
I did not get Pennsylvanian until well up
on the ridge east of the canyon bottom.
The Penn. has helms (in east side) a post-herd
formal (large B. crassus) and listra of a deeply eroded
Productus outcrop of late Penn. Saw no Strigman
Camunatus
