PLATE 13 

 Views of the Verdi Locality 



Fig. 1. Looking southwesterly from the basalt bluff ou the north side of the 

 Truckee Eiver a mile east of Verdi. The plant locality is in the railroad cut 

 marked by the arrow. Crystal Peak ridge forms the bulk of the skyline, with 

 the Truckee River in the gorge near the left margin of the view. 



Fig. 2. Locality ~P102. The 30-foot section at the plant locality is made up 

 of coarse lenticular sandstone, sandy shale, and thin diatomite. The best- 

 preserved fossils occur in the finer sandstones near the right-hand margin 

 (west) of the outcrop.
