25. Clay lens? comes in here, very silty, similar to that at (23). Considerable SS over it, may be below for Dakota clay. - Note - is lower split main clay. 26. 1st Glen SS thick, due to coarse calcite in lower 5 to 6', just above caltz zone is coarse clay pellet zone - a local lens. 27, Disconformity - lies between m wash covered slope between 3rd SS and top Lytle SS, a zone 5' to 8' wide. Lytle SS quite thin - at least part cropping. No cyl, few scattered pebbles. Local concent pebbles top surface. Note on clay beds: - Main bed- after pinchout at (21) not traceable but would guess horizon . lies mostly E of crest. The clay that comes in at (23) not identified- it split of main bed it is very low in slope, yet high for Dakota. Looks like clay that comes in at (25), which is lower split. Main bed comes in at (28); the lower split sends out into gap, main bed crosses, lies between SS's on other side. 28 Main bed === 4' t with basal bent, oval ripple marked surface (picture) Note on Dakota clay: If Dakota clay is in at all it is at break in steep rock slope along east base hogback- local silty beds crop out in this position near gap. No good Clay seen. Bed must be within 10' ± Graneros contact. Greneros contact not visible but assumed near lost SS ledges cropping at gap.
