(upper 1.5+) Siltstone in upper part grading down into silty clay shale. Shale is obscured, is claygray with silty Fe-stained layers, W 14.8 S2udstone, soft fine gr. weathrs 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 harder. 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. CC. 8.7 Shely zone, obscured. Silty in upper part, grades to black shale with interbeds (thin) Fe stained silt. 1.1 of siltst + 1b, silty shale at base. 49
