I need to make it crystal clear that none of this is my own research. Thepictures on this and associated pages were taken on a GSA field trip in 1994 ledby Richard B. Waitt of the U.S. Geological Survey, and the interpretationspresented here are largely those of Dr. Waitt as presented on the field trip andits guidebook. I thank Dr. Waitt and his colleagues for a stupendous fieldexperience.
