Figure 29

Figure 29--Clastic-percentage map of Morrison Formation (Jurassic) in western Kansas. Distribution of clastics suggests that beds were deposited by northwestward-flowing streams and that source of sediments was southeast (from Merriam, 1955a).

Map shows location and clastic ratio; less than 70% in Sherman and Cheyenne; grades to 100% in boundary from Hamilton, Gove, to Phillips.
