Wonderful place to do some field work. Can't beat your lab bench!
Always love to see picture and people enjoying Glacier. Many of us call the Helena Formation they Siyeh Formation, since both have been used in the past. The Helena Formation type area (if I remember right) is near the city of Helena. The Siyeh Formation is what it is called in Alberta. The overlapping names can be confusing.
Looks like it was a great trip! :)
