Love JD and Keefer WR. 1975. Geology of sedimentary rocks in southern Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Professional Paper. 729-D. US Government Printing office. Washington, DC
Sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Devonian to Holocene are exposed within and area of about 100 sq mi in southern Yellowstone National Park where the original cover of volcanic rocks has been stripped away by erosion. These sedimentary rocks, and the structural features that involve them, have not previously been described in detail. The stratigraphic occurrence and identifications of genera and species of fossils in more than 25 collections are given.
