apparently conform to Cambria and on the next lies To the east on Carr. None S.E. it rests on the granite. To the N.W. & N. it lies in turn on the Texas, Jurra and Bentons. The White Trias is irregular in deposition on the red Carr. and in after strongly cross bedded. The fucroids of the so-called Cambrian are very massive usually in lengths of about four inches are one inch thick and high. They lay very thick in the Creek. Demeaux estimates the thickness of the beds above the Cambria as 227 feet. He found a Camara- phoria 47 feet above the sandstone. This species reminds mind of the Permin species. Another one had five fune plications. This red bed is only 6 feet thick while mine is at least 10 feet. This adds to the belief that White sometimes introduces the Trias.
