02-July-2005 We decided to have a look at some of the numerous Cretaceous sediments that occur throughout Southern Arizona. We settled on a small strip of Fort Crittenden formation near Sonoita. We have read that Plant material and vertabrate fossils occur in various beds. We were able to find copious amounts of Petrified wood, and a few other nice pieces. You can find the details Here We found a nice PDF file describing the Geology of the Tucson Mountains. This was put out by Sahuaro National Park. Of course if you really want to know about the Tucson Mountains, This book by David A. Kring tells the whole story.
