"Appear to represent the initial stage of subidence in the southern Rocky Mts. There, the Diablo = Magdalena y Rio Mecis. He asks "Is it Huacar y Tacos?" Reede got in El Paso county Texas some Monor forms. There 3 spec. of Archimeds. Pertrimits duperty Monors from tot different. Reede sent in to Texas during 12 hours y forms. I'm other seen by Meyer. He also got the fauna in the Marathon region. Mr Stamm was seen in this part of Texas. Mc Coy thinks the Stamm was re- stricted to central Texas. These conclusions not a damaging with Whitney's plant evidence. Stamm is Stamm in deep wells in northern Oklahoma west of the strike of the granite ridge, The older Pennsylvanian in Kansas hits up against the granite ridge and does not cross it. The gorge Plain. crosses over it to the west but apparently not very far. All change, and especially the Loma ones, lithologically throws the granite ridge and become sandy. The elevations are change to older vs. The granite ridge was an old high land joining on along there. Mc Coy thinks the Stamm and passing the Monors desced south eastward into the Gulf of Mexico. This is an entire new proposition. See my tracing of the maps &
