Resume (cont)
This bed also in for a few ft at 7, A/N:49-06 and at N tip of hogback S. of Weaver Gulch.
Summary on clays-Mem ref clay bed out for most of hogback, too thin where in. Contains some flint locally. Upper 2 clay beds most persistent, obscured by wash, probably not worth prospecting. 3rd bed in only in N% of hogback. Conclusions-no commercial ref clay in this segment.
Lower part of Glencern
1st SS persistent & forms cap of hogback, joining with O throuout most of hogback and also with -1 at S end.
2nd shale contains plenty orange-brown weathering siltst. & fine ss. Fossils found in some of these either just above or in 2nd SS. Relationship of 2nd shale, 2nd SS & 3rd shale obscure because all are more or less non-resistant & poorly exposed. Actual position 2nd SS not positively located. Identifying bentonites not all located.
3rd SS-unmistable throuout hogback. Underlying black shale in locally but more places 3rd SS sits on 6 to 10 ft bed of X-lam, massive, loc. cryptic, brun-weather.ss that is basal bed of Glencern. Disconformity in some places betw. basal cryptic ss bed & clstn, other places SS on SS. Latter are sharp and spectacular.(Photos) Basal SS bed present throuout hogback
Lytle Lytle consists of as many as 3 benches SS, any one locally cryptic, sep. by variegated-mostly red clstn. Top is mostly soft argillss, rarely a good clstn so no chance of weathered clay in this hogback. Contact with Morrison obscure as usual, but if 3 benches SS present clstn beneath 3rd usually green & undoubted Morrison; bentonite locally at top Morrison-9.
