Figure 9. (A) Finely laminated, "paper" shale in the California Mountain paleovalley (Fig. 8). (B) Photo looking west at an 6-km–wide, 500-m–deep swale in the Independence Mountains west of the exposed paleovalley sequence near California Mountain (Fig. 8). The swale is probably the western continuation of the paleovalley. (C) Rounded, 6-m–wide boulder of chert-pebble conglomerate in basal Tertiary conglomerate of the Nanny Creek paleovalley (Fig. 10). (D) Well-rounded, 1-m–wide boulder of quartzite in the Nanny Creek paleovalley (Fig. 10). (E) Isolated block of tuff of Big Cottonwood Canyon in megabreccia in Nanny Creek paleovalley (Fig. 10). (F) Scattered blocks of tuff of Big Cottonwood Canyon in megabrecccia in Taylor Canyon paleovalley (Fig. 3). Compaction foliation is oriented differently in each block, showing that each is a separate block.
