 THE GLACIAL LAKE AGASSIZ--Appendix A
The notes are derived chiefly from the reports of the geological and natural history surveys of Canada and of Minnesota, and are all reduced to refer to the true or astronomic meridians.
Almost universally throughout North Dakota, eastern Montana, and a large area stretching thence northwestward to the Athabasca and Peace rivers, the bed-rocks [p.642] are shales of the Fort Pierre and Laramie formations, so soft and easily eroded wherever exposed to weathering that glacial marks are not preserved.
Farther west, apparently this stratum of sandstone occurs in the bluffs of the Souris River, near its most southern bend, and in hills within the area of the loop formed by this river, where other glacial striæ may probably be found.
