Details Relating to the Meek/Douglass Proposal

78. circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailLayering, circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailLimestone, circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailWhy Here? circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailWhy So “Recently”? circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailMarble Canyon, circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailDistant Cavern Connection, circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailPerpendicular Faults, circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailArching, circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailInner Gorge, circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailMissing Talus, circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailUnusual Erosion, circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailNankoweap Canyon. Same as item 17.

80. circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailForces, Energy, and Mechanisms. Same as item 53.

No explanation is given as to why the region west of the Grand Canyon could have subsided almost a mile or why the Colorado Plateau might have tipped down to the southwest—something a subducting plate would not produce.

81. circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailKaibab Plateau. Had Hopi Lake been higher than about 6,000 feet, it would have spilled out to the north instead of over the Kaibab Plateau to the west. Today, the eroded portions of the Kaibab Plateau rise 1,700 feet higher than 6,000 feet, so the Kaibab Plateau must have risen after Hopi Lake began spilling westward.

82. circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailMissing Mesozoic Rock. Water spilling out of Hopi Lake would not sweep the Mesozoic rock off the Kaibab Limestone north of the Grand Canyon, in the funnel, south of the funnel, or west of the funnel. For example, Shinumo Altar lies near the wide end of the funnel, far from where Hopi Lake’s waters would have traveled. Mesozoic rock has been removed from all around Shinumo Altar. (The Mesozoic rock in that butte was preserved because it was, and is, capped by hard rock.58) [See Figure 121 on page 197.]

83. circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailFossils. Same as item 22.

84. circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailTipped Layers below Unconformity. Same as item 23.

85. circleyellow.jpg Image ThumbnailTime or Intensity? Same as item 24.

86. circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailOther. Today, the Colorado River would have to flow 2,400 feet uphill if it were to flow into the basin that once held Hopi Lake.

87. circlered.jpg Image ThumbnailOther. The Colorado River, with its heavy sediment load, could not have flowed into the basin that held Hopi Lake for long without filling it completely with sediments.
