Description

This black and white photograph features a huge stratified outcrop without grass. The top of the outcrop is flat, and coal appears near the top. Horizontal stratification of the huge outcrop can be clearly seen, and the upper half of the outcrop is vertical while the lower half slopes into the valley. Stones scatter in the lower slope part of the outcrop, and the bushes of sage grow in the crevices of the outcrop. Some other large stratified outcrops can be seen in this photo. Handwriting is below the photograph.
