An outcrop of the Pennsylvanian carbonate units was visited 8 miles south of Silverton, CO on Hwy 550 June 14. The outcrop is located near Molas Lake on Molas Pass and was accessed by foot on the Colorado Trail from Hwy 550. Honacker Trail formation lies in the upper part of the Hermosa Group in the Paradox Basin and below this lie successive carbonate units. The Paradox Basin is a depression controlled by active basement faults which filled with sediment as predominately arkosic material was eroded from the Ancestral Rockies during the Uncompahgre Uplift. The uplift was surrounded by an epicontinental sea where sediment accumulated in marine margins creating sandstones, siltstones and limestones throughout the Basin.
