EAGLE MOUNTAIN
This is the western face of Eagle Mountain, at the
southern end of the Amargosa Desert in southeastern California. The
entire face here consists of eastward-dipping Cambrian sedimentary rocks.
The shaly slopes at the base represent the Carrara Formation. The gray,
cliff-forming limestones above represent the Bonanza King Formation.
