Tucson, Arizona, Feb 23 1950
At 8 A.M I am off in R.F. Ibarrones car
for the Chetstone Mts. The party consists of Prof.
Stegmow, Ibarrone and C.E. Gooddell
It is about 70 miles to about the center of
the Chetstone Mts. The place is the same one I
visited last year with Stegmow, Lawson
and Ramsome.
We collected most of the time in the
uppermost Cambrian. Large Hyolithes are
common with a large Cepicethalus and other
trilobites. The horizon looks to me to be
Carbonian like that of Llano, Texas. Or
Ordovician here.
Within 20 feet of the Cambrian collected
is comes the Devonian. The basal ten feet is a
dolomite or a highly magnesian li. in which away
are the fossils are illiterated. Stromatopora that I
like Cryptogron are not common. The Cladifera
and a small grigid coral that is pretty and for
mossits.
