At the westward turn of the valley near head of creek in we found a strong outcrop of Fountain with 6 or 8 ft. of hard gray limestone overlying it, containing numerous fragments of crinoid stems and a few poorly preserved brachiopods. It passed, apparently conformably, beneath the red, thin bedded Lyons ? sandstone (this may be limestone-see tomorrow’s notes), continuing thus northward as far as we could see. We traced the limestone nearly to the and reached camp at 6 p.m. with a good load. Saw a  in. Jackson and Crawford arrived and camped at Dodds and I called in the evening and discussed plans.
