It is purely euryomantic throughout and
very much cross bedded. Some surfaces
are smooth and even parallel lined
and if undisturbed there are aeolins.
Above the center there are several good
siphons with or without burrows and an
abundance of organic casts now holes
about 1/2 wide, long and 1/4 to 3/8 inch
wide. I have seen these holes in many
other sandstones but what opinions they
represent I do not know. On smooth
surfaces I also saw unmistakable
but small gastropod trailings. These
looked like this: [diagram]. I have taken two
samples of the
current burrows, but the trailings I could not get.
This is an unmistakable marine deposit
but practically a marine flat with little
of water depth. The siphons are all of the
current type.
