Aug 2-99 Wednesday Camp VI & VII
Broke camp and left Trege But just by
9:30.
Shipped to Larumie 2.3 acts of fossils.
Hambach, Todd, Carlson and Culberton
left for home.
During the afternoon we passed another
uplift of Jura-Trias in which the Triassic rocks
formed cliffs from 700 to 800 feet high. The
structure here is about as at Trege But Int.
Took my pictures of these hills. Are an 40 M. from
Medicago Bow.
By 5:30 are camp at Sullivan's Ranch
in Shirley Basin near high hills of granite
and Paleozoic rock.
As soon as camp is pitched I start out
for the hills and find them farther away than
I had expected. The structure is due clear
in places. A rapid run of 1 1/2 hours
revealed a number of strata which struck to
be Cambrian and then Paleozoic strata with
a fault cutting off the Jura-Trias.
