Beds carrying the Olenellus fauna have been identified in the Canadian rocks, although there they occur far below the limestone, the underlying quartzite having a much greater thickness than is exposed at Eureka. It is difficult to determine how great a thickness should be assigned to the Pogonip, although it is evidently well represented. Limestones carrying Halysites are in many ways similar to the Lone Mountain beds, and have a STRUCTURAL FEATURES. 209 i Report on the Geological Features of a portion of the Rocky Mountains.

In the Canadian section the Devonian exposes only 1,500 feet of strata as against 5,000 feet of Nevada limestone, but on the other hand the Carboniferous limestone immediately overlying the Devonian exhibits a much greater development than the corresponding horizon at Eureka. The sequence of strata in the Canadian localities shows a closer agreement with the conditions of sedimentation at Eureka than do many exposures of Paleozoic rocks situated but a comparatively short distance eastward of the latter area. In some respects the Canadian section more closely resembles the Wasatch than it does the Eureka, as is shown in the great thickness of Cambrian rocks below the Olenellus horizon. On the other hand, there is no such development of Silurian and Devonian rocks in the Wasatch as is shown both at Eureka and in Canada. Changes in sedimentation appear much more sudden and vari...
