3.7' siltstone with sandy layers: hard, new-tant, and irregularly bedded locally: more or less argillaceous: becomes softer some places along the strike: gray and brown gray: weathering light gray with iron staining.
6 Obscuried: probably clay or soft siltstone.

4.2' predom. siltstone with some fine so: irreg. bedded: locally ledge forming with unit below.

combine all these
fine-grained locally silty irreg bedded in beds 4" -> 6" thick: mostly thin bedded.
local massout appearance still shows lamination. whole so may be crossbedded.
3.3 -> inter bedded siltstone and fine sandstone, some clay. fine laminaize siltstone, bedsss up to 6" thick; silty sh beds & plugs of siltstone. moves ever down wavelet.
see above
40.8 -> top of so: light rusty brown: fine grained: well laminated: changes from light rusty to white to light rusty down thru the bed: grain size coarse locally: div. fine gr. throught. rusty zones average about an inch thick: rusty zones slightly more resistant to weathering: whole sandstone thinly laminated, in verbedded throughout with more resistent zones of ferruginous as non-ferrugenerous zones weathers white.
(This unit not cliff forming underrlies steep slopes.) It's some thing Jurassic silt. zones which seem to be more common near b2sc. Based 3 to 4' and upper 6' are fairly resistant good ledge formers.
