Feb 23-1924. Saturday, Tucson.
With Storganw and his students
went out to Prohaer de Caleria about 18
miles N. W. of Tucson. Was there twice be-
fore. About the morning climbing around
the mountain with the basal gneiss G.
guartzite, some hundreds of feet thick,
Wanted to make sure that the beds had
slumped during their deposition. There can
be no doubt about it at all. The slumping
is in the laminated beds, either in connec-
tion with the conglomerate or without such.
The slumping is very local and of varying
intensity. In places, it is also brecciated
the pieces being very angular. In other places
there are local foresetting, but as a rule
there is no marked bedding.
Some trails are but seldom seen.
The conglomerate is of the Archeozoic schist
telar with some granite pebbles. There are rein
quartz pebbles, but no Proterozoic guartzite
pebbles.
