The association of ‘Water Canyon’ with ‘Dosados Canyon’ comes from Nikolaev, V.A., Kociolek, J.P., Fourtanier, E., Barron, J.A. & Harwood, D.M. (2001). Late Cretaceous diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) from the Marca Shale member of the Moreno Formation, California. Occasional Papers of the California Academy of Sciences 152: 1-119, 39 plates. Page 11. In here it is described being ‘highly likely’ that Water Canyon refers to Dosados Canyon.
Someone has repainted the black ring around the coverslip at some point. Unfortunately the immersion oil removed a lot of this, as can be seen in the image of slide.
