Some of the coal near Moqui is described as Jurassic (p. 85) 

 and some as Cretaceous, the latter associated witji fossil plants 

 similar to those of the Dakota of Kansas and Nebraska. The 

 Cretaceous coal of this author occurs also both east and west of 

 Fort Defiance (in the San Juan coal basin). (P. 100) Carbon- 

 iferous fossils were obtained from the coal measures at Santa
