PLATE IV

Plate IV. Photograph of fossil casts of ice crystals seen on some stony

flags in the upper part of the Eagle Ford at Fossil Knobs, about two

miles northwest of the Chisos Mine in Brewster County, Texas. These may

be characterized as relatively short and scattered. This shows ridges

projecting into the grooves formed by ice crystals on the surface of a

muddy layer originally underlying the layer photographed. Slightly

reduced.
