Figure 27. Exposure of Prince Creek Formation along west side of the Colville River, just north of confluence with the Anaktuvuk River. Light-colored, nonmarine sandstones are interbedded with dark-colored coal and carbonaceous mudstone. Note low-angle bedding (gentle dip to right) in sandstone just beneath thickest coal; this is accretionary bedding in a meandering fluvial (point-bar) deposit. Bluff has approximately 300 ft of relief. View to west. Photograph by D.W. Houseknecht. PRINT/VIEW a high-quality PDF image |
