Rem arkabIe Fossil Plants from South
Western Wyoming

A little more than half century ago
General John c. Fremont was q conspic-
uous figure in American affairs. The
pathfinder Of the Rocky Mountains" he
was called. and he deserved the title, for
his celebrated exploring expedition across
the continent in ls43-1Si5 did much to
increase the knowledge Of our vast and
then almost unknown domain beyond the
Mississippi. Although the main object
OF this expedition was to find new and
better road over the mountains ana
plains 10 Oregon and northern California,
Fremont found time to observe the ge-
oIoev and mineral resources as we'll as
the natural history and ethnology Of the
region he traversed. Thus, on August H.
1913. when the expedition. having turned
north from the Old Oregon Emigrant
Road. found itself on what now is called
Little Muddy Creek. near the site Of the
present well-known coal town of Cum
berland, Uinta County, Wyo., Fremont
discovered a profusion of plant remains
In a conspicuous band Of indurated clay
along the creek. He collected as many
of these fossil plants as he could con-
Venlenty carry ana on MS return they
were studied and described by James
Hall. then and for many years thereafter
psleontologist to the State of New York
Hall described about ten species Of plants
all ferns. and decided that their age was
Jurassic, Nothing further was found out
about these plants for more than 50 years.
or until 1906. when the locality on Little
Muddy Creek was rediscovered by mem

POSSIBLE RESERVOIR OF OIL OR
GAS
The Bowdoin dome, Montana, reported
on by United States Geological
SURVEY

AS II is generally recognized that an
ti-clines or arches in the rocks are the
most likely places to find petroleum
and natural gas, and as all such places
are now being tested with the drill. the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior, Is calling at
tention to the Bowdoin dome. near
Malta. in northeastern Montana.
This dome is broadly arched part Of
the earth's crust from which the rocks
dip slightly away on all sides 1t is on
the main line of the Great Northern
Railway just east of Malta and SO far
as the structure rs concerned il NAV he
regarded as a favorable place to pros.
pect. Natural gas has already been
found there in some wells drilled for
water, and deep we'll has been begun
which. If completed, should determine
whether or not the dome contains oil
or gas.
The dome was examined In the sum
mer Of 1916 by A. J. Collier, a geolostst
Of the United States Geological Survey
and is described in Bulletin sS1-E. lust
published.
The rocks in and about the dome ara
not well exposed. being largely covered
by glacial drift. but enough Of them
vas seen to show that the hard rock on
the top OF the dome is the CIaggett
shale. The gas already found is sun
posed to have been contained in the
Eagle sandstone, al a depth of about
500 feet. If this sand should not prove
tc be commercially productive II 10
possible that oil might be found

Gus rocks. about 1900 feet below the
