The quartzite as a rule is of fine even grainand is nearly white to light and dark brown or south side of Sevier Canyon, near its mouth,where it stands vertical in a pinched synclinaltrough of southwesterly pitch. It was nottraced southward across Wood and Yellowstonecanyons but is undoubtedly present i]i thatpart of the range. South of Yellowstone Can-yon the red member follows the west edge ofthe range almost as far south as Fool then swings southeast, crossing the lower partof Fool Creek canyon and following an undulat-ing course, probably passing north and east ofFool Creek Peak, the highest peak of the Elevation5,000 feet _i Approximate scale0 I Elevation— 2 Miles —I Figure 44.—Generalized section along north (a) and south (b) sides of Fool Creek canyon. 1, Tertiary conglomerate and sandstone; 2, Car-boniferous quartzite; 3, red member of the quartzite; 4, Carboniferous limestone; 5, hmestone lentil in quartzite.
