Sep 12 - 99 Tuesday I have come about 3 miles west of the University of Wyoming cabin and am sitting in the rim of another Triassic amphitheatre. The centre of the arch is cut out and above I put the beds dip to the N. E. Looking down the hole the beds are seen to dip to the W, S. W, and S. To the south are higher hills and contain both Jurassic and the same occurs to N. and E. Directly W are the Shirley Dots, a perend [illegible] North Dot like those at Bullwain but is solely lies to the S. W. The thickness of the red beds beneath the Forego Out Limestone cannot be less than 400 foot and may exceed this. The White Trias is visible on this hole as in the one beneath Forego Out Dot. The F.O. limestone in the cliff is about four feet thick but some of it is washed away. Collected a few more fossils from this zone.
