The 2017 Geol 508 (Advanced Field Methods) class enjoyed 7 days in Death Valley and mapping in Emmigrant Pass, as the first of 3 field trips. The students were responsible for mapping the lower to middle Cambrian rocks that are folded and faulted at Emmigrant Pass. They worked to unravel the complex history of the area. A big thanks to Rob Hawk for all the great photos!
