1 DR. TEAL: Yes, all of "D" comes out. 



2 DR. MACIOLEK: Okay. Item "E." 



3 DR. KRAEUTER: That should not be "D." 



4 DR. MACIOLEK: That should now be "D." You see, we have lots of 



5 good editors. 



6 DR. KRAEUTER: Making it a question? 



7 DR. MACIOLEK: Yes, making it a question would be, "Are 



8 sedimentary environments of canyons similar?" We have two 



9 categories--the answer to both is "no." Any changes there? 



10 DR. GRASSLE: Can we delete this statement--"Met with general 



11 disagreement?" 



12 DR. KRAEUTER: It is not a statement anymore--it is a question. 



13 DR. BOTHNER: You know, I do not like the premise here of "E." 



14 How about, "Are sedimentary processes similar in all canyons?" 



15 Something like that. 



16 DR. VALENTINE: Similar environments and processes exist in 



17 different canyons, but taken as a whole canyons, you know, are not 



18 identical to each other in these characteristics. So if that is what we 



19 are trying to say-- 



20 DR. TEAL: What you would write in the beginning, in the 



21 definition of canyon, is going to point out that they are not all the 



22 same. 



23 DR. VALENTINE: It is going to be in this "Characteristics" part. 



24 DR. KRAEUTER: Why do we have to have "E" at all? All it says is 



25 that all canyons are not the same, that is all. 



26 DR. VALENTINE: Well, it just tells them that we have some data 



27 from these two canyons here. 



28 DR. GRASSLE: I guess it should--to me, it should say, "Are 



29 sedimentary environments of canyons different?" And then the "nos" 



30 should become "yeses." 



31 DR. MACIOLEK: Okay, good idea. Mike was focusing more on 



32 processes rather than environments. 



33 DR. BOTHNER: Yes, somehow I did not know what sedimentary 



34 environments meant.
