Ellesmere Gr. Looking NW to show low hill of Triassic Bjorne sandstone
Part of W.O. Kupsch fonds
Ellesmere Gr. Looking northwest from 63 K 61 toward 63 K 62 to show low hill of Triassic Bjorne sandstone in front of higher, darker hills of Permian beds along skyline.
Ellesmere Gr. Looking northwest toward sandstones at north of the mouth of the tributary canyon
Part of W.O. Kupsch fonds
Ellesmere Gr. Looking northwest from fly camp 63 K 52 toward sandstones at the north of the mouth of the tributary canyon. Both sandstones dip steeply to the east (right in picture). The light yellowish-grey sandstonw to the left is regarded as uppermost part of Pm 2 unit of photogeological mosaic or Pma unit of field mapping. The darker yellowish-brown sandstone to the right, which overlies the light yellowish sandstone, is basal Bjorne. In front of both sandstones is a fault separating them from Eureka Sound beds in foreground.

Ellesmere Gr. Looking north toward Tertiary, Eureka Sound
Part of W.O. Kupsch fonds
Ellesmere Gr. Looking north from 63 K 61. Picture is immediately to the right (east) of slide 43 and overlaps. Bedded grey rocks in middle foreground are Tertiary, Eureka Sound. In far background bedded gypsum can be seem and behind it Canyon Fiord.

Ellesmere Gr. Looking north across Canyon Fiord from station 63 K 86 toward older Paleozoic rocks.
Ellesmere Gr. Looking north to show shales
Part of W.O. Kupsch fonds
Ellesmere Gr. Part of section 63 K 73. At base of partial section shown here is shale with abundant fusulinids, corals, brachipods, bryozoans. Above th shale is hard ledge-forming calcerous siltstone causing waterfall. The shale hard siltstone contact is at 100 foot level of measured field section. Above the hard siltstone if another softer shale and above this greyish-white gypsum. Dennis Maier in picture.
Ellesmere Gr. Looking north to show Permian Assistance beds and Pennsylvanian Canyon Fiord
Part of W.O. Kupsch fonds
Ellesmere Gr. Looking north from entrance to canyon upstream from station 63 K 83. Photo immediately to the rifhr (east) of slide 60. The thrust fault with greenish-grey Permian Assistance beds and reddish Pennsylvanian Canyon strata over Tertiary Eureka Sound beds which are locally folded, can be followed from just above the light knoll at the skyline to the right along the base of the distinctively red beds. The Eureka Sound beds below are partly covered by red talus from the canyon Fiord above but in places the dark carbonaceous layers in the Eureka Sound can be seen through the cover.
