light gray with layered Fe
concentration in upper part. Cp
is harder ledge 1/2 to 2.0 of
brown weath SS, but gets more
friable and silty -- " in
lower 5'. Prob carb matter
finely dissemin on fresh surface.
X 1.5 S2udstone, ledge of fine gr, lite gr,
irreg bedded. Not unlike above but

Y 1.5 Clay zone - probably bentonitic -
.8 from top it gets silty, has
0.1 Fe-silt zone 0.1 from top.
[Sample 4]
Z 11.4 Siltst-SS massy, soft, friable fine gr,
grading downward to siltstone.
Upper most 0.6 to 0.8 is ledge
as in X, remainder under slope
in most places. Somewhat
argill locally.
AA 2.5 S2udstone, fine gr, irreg massive
weathrs pitted Fe brown.
BB 8.3 Siltstone, soft irreg carb lzm, mac
+ some argill matter. Locally
indurated enough to make
crumbly-splintery structuring,
mottled Fe or weath crop.
