Just S or river NW of Belleview Bellvue, Colorado, we examined the Lyons escarpment. The supposed thin l.s. seems to be a very fine grained s.s., slightly calcareous. Fountain covered, Lykins crossbedded s.s. underlaid by deep red friable Lykins thin bedded s.s. forms a very distant ridge. Lyons has a tendency to form two benches here. At Ingleside Carboniferous limestone forms crest and east slope of ridge as at Owl Canyon Owl Creek Canyon, Colorado, with pink Lyons s.s. on its lower east slope. The lower Lyons is very uniform, but above are strata like Lykins alternating with other strata like Lyons. Fed horses and lunched here. Drove over to Deadman’s Butte Deadman Butte, Colorado and searched for fossils
