thinks the sea bottom during all or at least much of Phillipsony according to Hill times was filling, and these treats are of common recurrence.
Logans A 2 is the mantle bed.
Logans division B begins to introduce lons but it may be that which includes B1 = 120ft thick above the Ozarkian. Logan reports Pleurotomania and Ophileta.
Logans B2 has in places a mass of comminuted lons. These lie in hollows of the bedding and the material is mashed together. At times such pockets are intraformational only.
Logan makes division B 1040 ft thick, but Orc Shiple has it thicker - at least below the Phillipsony series at least 200 ft thick, against Logans 2060 feet.
Division B shows clearly that the deposition was gradual, and that in places currents swept out channels up to one foot deep. In these deprenimo and hollows lies an oolitic breaching dol. In other places Clark holds that the sea bottom had risen into land and solution holes and even caves had been formed. All such are now filled with the rusty dol. and also lons.
The lons occur in the upper lying surfaces of the doloms but not in the dol filling. These depressions and hollows are usually small but at times are more than ten feet across and cave fillings occur ten feet in depth. Crapan has a hint, near the base of division B Stork two small pieces, one a true crag, and the other a fabor one due to weather.
