AIN 49-08 (cont.) (8) At this point the two massive cqltic sands are spread apart by thickening of intervening shale, the thinner lower bed caps the prominence jutting out beyond the usual slope to the west, while the upper continues up the gulley. There is no faulting in here, the unusual pattern of topog is entirely result of separation of sandstones (9) This ledge is the lower cyl ledge it has thin zones of intcql and where thickest zones of chert pobbles cql. Red + green shale separates it from the lower of the two beds mentioned above. (10) Good shale-on-chlzystone Glenczirn-Lyttle contact, Notes on Turkey Creek gap area. Dakota, has middle clay split that isn't developed in gap -> itself. Clay not thick enough to be important. Glenczurn-Lyttle contact sharp, commonly shale on chlystone no cql or only thin layer. See 5 above Base of Lyttle: -> a toss-up. The Lyttle consists of lenses of ss + cql. ss The lowest one is well below the Glenczirn -Lyttle contact, ss at N.Golden section and Plainview section. It has fair thickness of red + green shale between it and next higher. In this area there are two principal cyl ss zones above the basal one, and several thinner beds. Glenczurn clay is either out or in highly silty phase. (11) A large block of cql ss here. Seems to be in place but may be float, falls in line with lower cql crop and altitude seems O.K. 45
