On the cover: A familiar, classic angular unconformity at the mouth of Utah’s Salina Canyon in central Utah’s Sevier County, showing Jurassic Twist Gulf formation steeply tilted to overturned on the east flank of the Sanpete-Sevier Valley anticline, which developed in the Late Cretaceous by eastward compression of the Sevier thrust belt – an example of the complex geology that is challenging explorationists yet promising so much potential in this booming region.
