  • View from the Kanarra Falls trail looking north upon overturned, thrusted Permo-Triassic carbonates and siliciclastics. The Timpoweap Member of the Triassic Moenkopi Formation forms the higher, eastern ridge. Duplication of the lower red member on either side of the Timpoweap Member reveals a major fold accommodation fault along the east limb of the Kanarra fold-thrust structure—the Kanarra Creek thrust. Inset: View south near the entrance to Spring Creek Canyon of a break-thrust fold in the Fossil Mountain Member of the Permian Kaibab Formation, which is a smaller, partial mimic of the larger Kanarra fold-thrust structure (see figure 12, p. 23 for a complete description).

  • Midwest Exploration and Utah Southern No. 1 Shafer well, drilled in 1924. Left photograph is the view if the rig across the Colorado River. The cable-tool rig was floated down the river from the town of Moab. Right photograph of the well blowing out after encountering gas at 2028 feet (618 m) in the Cane Creek shale. The rig caught on fire and was destroyed. Courtesy of the Utah Division of State History and the Utah State Historical Society.
