Plate V. Photograph of fossil casts of ice crystals seen on the under

side of flaggy layer of calcareous sandy rock in the upper part of the

Eagle Ford at Fossil Knobs, about two miles northwest from the Chisos

Mining Company's property, Brewster County, Texas. It will be seen that

some of the crystals are gently curved. Similar curving crystals are

also seen in the figures showing recent growths at Rock Island,

Illinois. Compare with Plate IX. Slightly reduced.
