To north claystone zone thickens

Clay bed here. Crop indicates plastic with
flinty layers in top, about 4', It is
the uppermost of the 3 small clays under
the Dakota. May be worth prospecting
here though thin.
Note- Glenczurn-Lytle contact:- In this area some
difference from Turkey Creek section where
it is blsh. on weather claystm. Here SS unit,
loc. coltc, lies between 3rd Glenczurn sand and
weather clstu/ or Fe capped Lytle-type sand. This
unit resembles Lytle in its massive - x bedded
structure, but commonly more dense &
compact like overlying sands. Also tends to
weather to brown rather than pink/orange
brown as in Lytle sands. At AIN-49-06, 1, The
3rd Glenczurn sits in sharp contact on this
SS + 4th shale out. SS unit also sits directly
on Fe cap of Lytle & weather clstu out.
