draw aggregate thickness close to #100 ft,
at Dutch Cr about 75 ft. On hogback rim
between both units thin appreciably, at one
point each is about 15 ft or less thick. Clay
bed between comes in at few places shown
on AP's is never more than 2 or 3' thick.
No indication of minor clay beds over
main one - possibly because SS over left
main bed is 1) channeled or 2) thickened,
excluding them.
Clay beds above ~~main bed~~ persisten this
sandstone - ie in mid. Dakota are
persistent. Definitely 2 seperated by
~~~ SS from 1 to 3' thick. Crop stands out
clearly on A.P.'s -- and viewed from plains
to east. No exposures of either bed. At
Dutch Creek end of hogback they are
pinched out by SS for most part.
Note - The first SS of Glen is rather
persistently even-bedded, contrasting
with massive X-lam. SS of beds above.

5. Clay beds in mid Dakota here, thin and silty, at least
2, probably 3. Contact drawn at base of these,
on top of sandstone that covers most of hogback:

Clay bed comes in about 1/3 way up side

SS on top lifts, has interform structure in
base. Clay bed rests on 2'+ bed hard ripple mld SS.
