Abstract

The Gunnison tillite was first described in a paper presented by the present authors at the 1924 December meeting of the Geological Society of America. Further geologic and physiographic field studies have established a somewhat widespread distribution of this formation and appear to justify a close correlation with the Ridgway tillite of mid-Eocene age.
