(2) Base of Dakota - a double clay bed here. One under
Dakota somewhat difficult to trace to next draw
north through scrub oak. N. of next drew N.
this bed is continuous for considerable
distance - almost to Weaver Gulch, & locally
has plastic clay, judging from muck on
outcrop. Some flinty layers near top.
(3) Swale, some of 1st Glencairn⁵⁴ may be in
here, but SS's are thick and to north
no beds clay as thick as one right
under Dakota.
(4) First Lytle-like SS below 3rd Glencairn
coarsly celtic in upper 7-8 ft. Pebbles
up to 2" mostly chert + quartzite.
(5) Excellent Glencairn-Lyttle contact,
shows clearly that the x-bedded celtic
SS bed below 3rd Glencairn is in the
Glencairn. Here this SS, which weathers
deep rusty brown like other Glensands,
is massive x-lam, celtic with
chert pebbles up to 4" across. Sits
on white fine to med.gr. frizble
Lytle sand. - See kodachrome
(6) Swale result of 1st Glencairn clay? with
bentonitic zone lensing in. This means
that this zone is out along most of
the hogback from Weaver Gulch, where
we sectioned it, to here. Possibility that
this is not the 1st Glencairn clay, but
the bentonitic clay is at base of about
2 ft bed.
(7) Same clay as above in for 10't here
