room tunnels. Some of the smooth surfaced
slabs show current washings.
The quartzites Ravensmo thinks may be some
other age than the limestones. While I did not
see the actual contact between the two series, yet
I was within 3 feet of actual contact, and get this
is not the slightest evidence to separate the two
series (Later, I do not think this is Ravensmo's idea).
The fauna of the limestones looks to me very
much like the Llans Cambrian that formed up in Walcott about 30 years ago. It is therefore
all Upper Cambrian or Ordovician, and more
probably the same sequence down a few
years ago in the Grand Canyon—the Tonto
series (Tapeats m., Bright Angel Shale, Muav Li.).
The Cambrian appears to end with reddish
granular limestones, that also abound in
trilobite fragments.
Then follows either a thin quartzite
or this green is in thick redded magnesians.
