(5) From about this point south along the ridge
a considerable change takes place along the
Glencarn - Lytl contact. The platy sandstone
3' at # 4, becomes progressively thicker; the
white silty clzystone containing local lenses
sand; and a massive xlam med qr ss
comes in at base Glencarn.
The whi sand louses in the white claystone
ove cherty (white) is at Morrison, and locally
this cherty sand is in contact with the
massive sand at base Glencarn. This latter
unit gets as much as 2.0 thick and generally
has at least an intrecpl at base & locally
contains chert pobbles. From #5 to road (wherevisible)
the platy ss sits either directly on the
white claystone or on the massive ss. No shale
seen below it.

(6) and (7) At both these localities the Dakota is split by
shale and the upper sandstone swings down the
