"Knight saw Dutgan and Mr. Fulmer collected
Merifer cameratus. The age of these hills is
therefore Upper Carboniferous.
These hills lie at the base of the Laramie
granitic hills and both maybe covered by the
Tertiary. I have no doubts that the moss agates
which are found in the Tertiary near here or further
were derived from the Carboniferous.
In the afternoon went to the "Red Hills" 1/4 h.
at about 3 miles of this camp. Here we also found
calcedonic stalactites but more finger shaped,
he saw no fossils but I have no doubts that
these brick red hills lie above the Upper Carboni-
f erous and maybe either Permian or Triassic.
This inference is based on the dip of the Carls. See
in the morning.
Collected about 400 pounds of minerals today.
