Light general wear and softening overall. No internal marks or underlining. Photo plates and fold out are very good. A good example of this scarce old report.

    Description

    SCARCE ITEM!!
    ONLY ONE I HAVE!!
    This is USGS Professional Paper 150-C,
    The Kaibab Limestone at Kaibab Gulch, Utah.
    Published in
    1928
    , this is a scarce old item. This 20-page describes the original (or 'type') section of the Kaibab limestone. This widespread formation rims the Grand Canyon and forms large cliffs alongs its edge. But what's in it?
    This report describes the variations within this formation, and shows how the layers stack up in a large fold out sectional diagram. There also helpful photos of areas showing key features and relationships to surrounding rocks.
    This is a nice overview that will give you a good idea of these important and highly visible rocks. I'm sure there are newer books on the topic, but this is cool for being nearly a hundred years old. The descriptions are reasonably easy to understand with a basic geology knowledge. All in all a pretty cool vintage item you will enjoy for its history and information. It's hard to find these ephemeral reports these days.
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
