Channeling in Deer is marked and even the sandy red shales cut one another. As we got beyond Two Rivers the pebbles in the cany. got larger and now run up to twelve across. They consist of clear quartz, white, red and black quartzite, granite and black lydian stone. There are also more and thicker sandstone hoggs. The shales are now dark red or even purple. Actual change from red shales into sandstone and cany. may be seen along the strike in 200 feet. It is much if a jumble near the origin of the material. We came as far as Flat Fork where we are practically in the trunk of the syncline for the dip along the last mile is not over 10° and at times is prac- tically horizontal. The rocks are in very shallow undu- lations but in the long distance are still dipping south- ward. The sandstones are now decidedly can bedded and in the hollows lie the cany, orates though there are beds of can bedded cany, orates. Sometimes the purple shales lie in the channels that may be any- where up to 10 feet deep. I cannot understand how these can be continental in the sense of river deposits. It looks to me more like the deposits in a shallow estuary between mountains where the sea life could not form. The storm waves churned up the bottom throwing the sands into a hilly bottom with the pebbles (left)
