July 28 Friday Camp IV.
After breakfast spent the morning on
Camp Bluff Found fragments of Dinosaur
bones in the Red beds and in the green shale
immediately above but nothing of value.
Collected some marine Jurassic fossils
which are quite rare and returned to camp.
In the afternoon drove Westward to the
end of Camp Bluff where the entire strata can be
seen in a fine anticline Here the arch is shown
in two thousand feet while on each side the strata
dip somewhat at about 25° but another at about 65° very
northward in the high Camp Bluff at the base of which is
the W.P.R. R. At this section not is clear than
the termination of the arch and the curvature or
the domed uplift Farther to the west in the valley
of Rock Creek with its numerous meanders. The
Sketch on the next page show the anticline at
this eastern end. We intended to photograph
this section but heavy rain prevented.
