Formed to make left half of a panorama eastward and southeastward across Vermilion Creek in sec. 36, T.10 N., R. 101 W., showing the Bear Mountain surface tilted about 13 degrees SW and truncating the Mesozoic and Paleozoic rocks, which dip steeply northeastward. At the canyon of Vermilion Creek the Bear Mountain surface has no conglomerate or other covering, but a little way to the east and to the south, it passes beneath the Browns Park formation and its basal conglomerate. The dip of the beds in the Browns Park formation coincides closely with the inclination of the erosion surface. Moffat County, Colorado. Circa 1921. Plate 40, with graphics, in U.S.Geological Survey Professional paper 185. 1936.

Typed information on back of photograph: The Rescue. Line draing from Canyons of the Colorado by John Wesley Powell. 1875. Excerpt from page 168-169 about drawing, "I find I can get up no farther and cannot step back, for I dare not let go with my hand and cannot reach foothold below without. I call to Bradley for help. He finds a way by which he can get to the top of the rock over my head, but cannot reach me. Then he looks around for some stick or limb of a tree, but finds none. Then he suggest that he would better help me with the barometer case, but I fear I cannot hold on to it. The moment is critical. Standing on my toes, my muscles begin to tremble. It is sixty or eighty feet to the foot of the precipice....

Large pitted reef consisting of separate closely spaced, turbinate heads which rest upon a bed of smaller algal nodules. The nodule bed rest upon medium grained massive sandstone that is locally cross-bedded. The second and third heads to the left of man show fluting. The minimum time required for the formation of this reef is estimated at 355 years. Moffat County, Colorado. August 2, 1925. Plate 40-A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 154. 1929.

Overturned and broken head of the pitted reef shown in Bradley photo 165, this shows near the hammer head a hole that contained the nucleus. It also shows the eccentric growth layers, which may be annual, and near the top of head (lower edge of photograph near the center) several open pit tubes. These are indistinct, partly because they are weathered and partly also because they are somewhat overgrown with algal deposits as the reef formed. Moffat County, Colorado. August 2, 1925. Plate 39-A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 154. 1929.
