The Orgin of the Palettes, Lehman Caves National Monument, Baker, Nevada
Charles J. Kundert

Abstract

The unusual and rather striking cave formations known as palettes apparently exist, in quantity at least, in only two known localities, i.e., in Grand Caverns at Grottoes, Virginia, and at Lehman Caves National Monument at Baker, Nevada. The author of this article, after an extensive study of the Nevada palette formations, presents herewith a scholarly hypothesis to explain their origin.
