Verde River cobbles capped by piedmont deposit

Verde River cobbles capped by piedmont deposit

Well-rounded Verde River cobbles overlain by poorly sorted angular locally derived clasts indicate burial of river alluvium by onlapping piedmont deposits. The lateral extent of the river deposit beneath the fan deposit is unknown.
