These remnants of an old volcanic neck seem not to have been observed by any geologist previously to our trip. They lie off the regular trails and are pretty well hidden in a gulch. They constitute five, projecting, tooth-like masses, ranged along an east-west line.  whom American petrographers in particular owe so great a debt for his petrographic report on the rocks collected by the geological survey along the fortieth parallel. ... We name these exposures the "Badgers Teeth" on the analogy of the larger "Boars Tusk," located nearby.
