Frontispiece. Aerial photograph with view to the northeast, emphasizing an asymmetric anticline (Beer Mug Anticline; cored by Pennsylvanian Tensleep Ss. and flanked by Permian Goose Egg Fm.) thrust atop a less obvious, synformal anticline (Ellis Ranch Anticline of Taylor, 1996; cored by Triassic Red Peak Fm. and stratigraphically overlain by the white, more clearly defined, Triassic Alcova Ls.). The steeply north-dipping thrust fault between the anticlines (Indian Spring Fault) is exposed only near the photo's lower-left corner, and it strikes northeastward from there, hidden by the slopes of erosional debris. The camera is above the northern edge of the eastern Hanna Basin, and the general view is across southern parts of the adjacent Freezeout Hills. This image was selected for use as the Frontispiece jointly because of its clarity and for being emblematic of the extraordinary degree of Laramide structural complexity characteristic of the Hanna Basin area-and particularly so along the basin's northern and southern margins.
