“…In addition, much of the Green River Formation tends to weather white due to its high carbonate content, making it difficult to distinguish different lithologies from a distance. As a result, mapping in these areas, including the 1:62,500-scale mapping published in the late 1940s and early 1950s (Duncan and Denson, 1949;Duncan and Belser, 1950;Donnell and others, 1953) and the more recent 1:24,000-scale mapping, relied heavily on stratigraphic sections typically measured and described along the end of ridges, where access is relatively less difficult. However, measured sections, some of the more detailed of which were published along with the geologic maps, had to be as closely spaced as possible to pick up the subtle lateral facies changes.…”
