Abstract
The Cretaceous formations of the upper Missouri region have long attracted attention. As early as 1839 the rocks at the mouth of the Sioux river, near the site of the city of the same name, were examined by the French explorer Nicollet. Since that time the locality has been visited by a number of workers and by them has been made the starting point for all geological investigations in the region. While the knowledge regarding the beds along the Missouri river has become quite complete, information pertaining to exposures along the various tributaries has been almost wholly neglected. Along the Sioux River, which forms the northern third of the western boundary of Iowa, the formations have received no notice except that which has been merely incidental to the examinations of more western districts.
