This is done most conclusively by its histological structure, which is preserved moder- ately well in specimens from the Water Canyon Formation, but generally very poorly in those from Beartooth Butte. Histology: In section (fig. 71, A) the shield may be divided into three layers. Superficially, there is a layer formed by the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Denison, Robert H.
