Abstract

At the base of the East Kaibab monocline, 6 miles south of House Rock, Arizona, stand two levels of pediment remnants, cut largely in Moenkopi red shales and capped by boulders and gravels of Kaibab limestone. The pediments are produced primarily by lateral corrasion by master-streams, aided by rill-wash and gully erosion. Pediment-cutting has been interrupted by periods of aggradation in which thick protective gravels were spread upon the pediments.
