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.

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.

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.
