Innocentx Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I hope I'm putting this question in the right place. I'm not the best at figuring out geologic maps so could use some help knowing where the site I'm going to describe is. My interest is in section 19 of the above map. I've got it marked with Google Earth placemark in an enlarged view of section 19. A close up: Thanks to anyone who might help me with this.

Walt Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Just a minute there, Ms Innocentx. What is in this formation, hmmmmmm? (If you can't say I will understand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocentx Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hi @Walt. I think it's an area where water was shallow at one time, and probably there was shoreline nearby. I'm attempting to document my theory with fossil record. Just want to make sure I know formation name.

Innocentx Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks, @Bullsnake. KGS maps down to the county and then section. I'm lucky to have such a resource in my state. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
