* Below the Triassic rim capped by limestone
this is a very wide and long valley probably not
less than two miles to the gulch at the base
of the high hill or mountains. The thickness
of the Triassic beds in this valley amphithe-
ater may be considerable side as one
farms southward we rise and drop over many
smaller escarpments of Triassic shale and
sandstones. The thickness may be not less than
--- ' The dip of the strata in the valley
bottom continues up over a very high hill or
hill if not higher than Fringe Out Mt. I
could find no place on this Out exposing
lower strata than those in the gulch but
and certainly a plain lower or possibly
Paleozoic beds can be seen.
Iawson found a great fault here along the
western side upraising at least 1000 feet of white coarse
sandstone and a thick limestone bluff. This series
may represent Carboniferous.
