句子讲解：
1. Rock and cobbles eroded down from the Bighorn Maintains and filled up the basin to at least a thousand feet, the height of the Pumpkin Buttes.
【结构简析】 这里是由"and"连接的两个动作，一个是"eroded down",然后是"filled up"，后面的是一个定语补充说明一千英尺的。
【参考译文】 从大角山侵蚀下来的岩石和卵石填补了低洼的盆地至少一千英尺，也就是今天南瓜巴茨山们的高度。
2. But the rubble found here is nowhere near enough to have covered the Owl Creek Mountains.
【结构简析】这里有"nowhere" 这个单词，就是按照它本来的意思理解。不受到后面的"near enough to" 的影响。
【参考译文】但是在这儿发现的碎石，不是覆盖猫头鹰山脉的碎石。
