Lee's correlations
Obvious that - 1. Lee did not find his lower shale
and lower & middle ss easy to pick out in
Denver basin area. 2. At Turkey Creek he put
upper sandy part Morrison as his lower &
middle ss of Dakota.
At type Morrison he was confused and had
to misinterpret Eldridge to make his
idea of section fit that of Eldridge. Actually,
his lower ss, lower sh, & middleless correlate with
the upper sandy part of the type Morrison.
Assuming his other correlations correct
then -
Type M.
Eldridge
Dakota { Dakota | Dakota
Glencan equival | Glencan
Upper
sandy pt}
Morrison | Little
Ralston
Also - the sandy upper part type Morrison =
Cloverly and Lakota - Fuson.
Fall River is prob ss that is only 10' ±
of type Morrison area + sits on sh. overlying
basal Det cal. This ss thickens to
north + is t 60 at Eldorado Spgs.
