句子講解：
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.
【結構簡析】 這里是由"and"連接的兩個動作，一個是"eroded down",然后是"filled up"，后面的是一個定語補充說明一千英尺的。

2. But the rubble found here is nowhere near enough to have covered the Owl Creek Mountains.
【結構簡析】這里有"nowhere" 這個單詞，就是按照它本來的意思理解。不受到后面的"near enough to" 的影響。
