SHEPARD FORMATION.

Several hundred feet of limy beds which weather yellow-brown lie on top

of the Siyeh. Although named for outcrops on the cliff above Shepard

Glacier (south of Stoney Indian Pass and near the site of the old

Fifty-Mountain tent camp) the formation is exposed on the summit of

Swiftcurrent Mountain at the head of Swiftcurrent Valley, on Reynolds

and Clements Mountains near Logan Pass, and on Citadel and Almost-a-Dog,

visible from Going-to-the-Sun Highway in St. Mary Valley. The formation

is replete with mud cracks and ripple marks. Some rock surfaces exhibit

two and three sets of the latter.
