Pleistocene soil: (A) view roughly west showing very sparse white bursage and instrument array in desert pavement with Kelso Mountains in background. Inset showing Av horizon under varnished clasts of desert pavement. (B) Hand-dug pit at instrument site used to define stratigraphic horizons. There was a general coarsening of soil texture to south end of pit toward bar top exposed on surface. Colored lines denote base of horizon.

Backscattered electron images (BSE) and elemental line scans across low-Pb varnish. Arrows in BSE images show locations of traverses. Right: wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectrometer line scans; scale (0–1200) is in uncorrected counts; Pb counts are expanded by 10 times. Each plot starts at the rock substrate on left side, and ends at or beyond the exterior edge of the varnish on right side, where arrows denote the outer surface of the varnish. A, B: Botryoidal varnish in micropit in sandstone from Hanksville, Utah. C, D: Layered varnish in small basin in granite, from Kelso Mountains, Mojave National Preserve, California.

Figure3—1, cf. Swartpuntia sp. from upper bedding plane surface of the upper member of the Wood Canyon Formation, Kelso Mountains, CA (LACMIP 12726). Note infolding and termination of parallel striae (right) at central stalk. Also note faint lineations on and perpendicular to the central stalk axis at left. 2, cf. Swartpuntia sp. from upper bedding plane surface of the middle member of the Poleta Formation, White Mountains, CA (UCMP 37450). Note presence of two thin (∼0.5 mm) layers of parallel striae, visible at upper left of specimen where upper level of petaloid frond is preserved over lower level and striae appear to intersect one another (arrow). Although specimen has been chipped in center, striae on right side of specimen are from same layer as striae from middle left.

Stratigraphic position of the lower and middle members of the Wood Canyon Formation (WCF) and identification of the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary. a, Stratigraphic cross section through six study areas showing the lower member of the WCF (lmWCF) resting on the upper member of the Stirling quartzite (uSQ) and thinning in the cratonward direction. Measured sections from left to right are taken from the northern Nopah Range at Chicago Pass (CP), southern Nopah Range at Gunsight Mine (GSM), Kingston Range (KR), Soda Mountains (SM), Kelso Mountains (KM), and southern Marble Mountains (MM). The lower-member WCF section at Chicago Pass is approximately 150 m thick (note the break in section between the first and second dolostone units). The middle-member WCF conglomerate is shown with variable stratigraphic position above the unconformity. The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition is marked and based on the first appearance of the trace fossil Treptichnus pedum (T. pedum; Corsetti and Hagadorn 2000) in the CP location. Other identified fossils (Corsetti and Hagadorn 2000; Hagadorn et al. 2000) are indicated based on their first appearance and include Ernietta (Erni.), Swartpuntia (Swar.), cloudiniid tubes (cloud.), Planolites (Plan.), Helminthoidichnites (Helmin.), T. pedum, Monomorphichnus (Mono.), and Taphrhelminthopsis (Taph.). b, Cambrian trace fossil Taphrhelminthopsis at KM. Hand for scale. The stratigraphic position of the trace fossil on the KM stratigraphic column indicates that this section contains Cambrian strata below the base of the mmWCF in a craton-margin location.

Hillshade digital elevation model of study area. Kelso Gulch and Sawmill Mesa are located northwest of Delta, Colorado, on the flank of the Uncompahgre Plateau. Kelso Gulch flows into the Gunnison River downstream from confluence with the Uncompahgre River. Important source areas for gravels include the San Juan Mountains, West Elk Mountains, Grand Mesa and Black Canyon, and upstream tributaries on the Gunnison.

Lithostratigraphical schemes proposed for the Late Devonian and Carboniferous rocks of northern Northumberland. The age of the Upper Old Red Sandstone/Kinnesswood Formation is discussed in the text. The Kelso Volcanic Formation (formerly Kelso Traps), locally occurring in the Tweed Valley, and the Roddam Dene Conglomerate Formation, are omitted. *In the Berwick-upon-Tweed and Alnwick area, the lower part of the Tyne Limestone Formation contains the separate Scremerston Coal Member (formerly Tate's Carbonaceous Division of the Mountain Limestone). For many years, the base of the Coal Measures was taken at the base of the Brockwell Coal, as suggested by Tate (1867b). Current usage (two right-hand columns) places the boundary at the base of the Subcrenatum Marine Band.
