Figure 9. A gouge has been worn in the side of Haskell Rock by river action. Erosion is evidently more effective when the water is two or three feet above the level seen here, either due to higher stream velocity at flood stage, or to ice jams. Small cobbles are visible in the conglomerate in the right foreground. (Photo by Robert Johnston.)
