4. Dakota - Benton - approx on vegetation
transition zone (top.)
5. Base limestone in Niobrara
Green lines, W. to E.
1. Second Glencziru clay.
2. First Glencziru clay +/- split.
3 Higher clay - may be mid-Dakota.
Lytle - highly variable, locally congloom.,
base not exactly located. For most
part obscured by slope wash. Most
complete section is Morrison section (10).
See also section given AIN-50-21, 10.
Lytle-Glencziru contact, sharp, chiefly SSau
ss. Black shale (Glencziru 4) not present,
3rd Glencairu sand thins southward
(Cf. AIN-50-21, 8, and section 10(Morrison)) The
3rd ss consists of upper even-bedded part
and lower massive x bedded part. Where
4th shale present at Alameda cut & vicinity
it comes between these 2 beds, :: lower
massive part probably = 4th Glencziru.ss.
3rd glencziru shale- typically sandy; contains
usual 2 bentonites. Actually more ss
than shale in this area. No shale beds
worthy of note.
2nd Glencziru sand. - A massive silty, soft
lite gray sand with some shaly
partings, throught hogbacks. Upper
bed of 2 to 4' more resistant, brown
weathering, is only ledge former.
2nd Glencziru shale. Persistent zone
with porcellinite-like layer near top
except where latter cut out by
canneling. This only clay bed that
reaches mineable thickness in the
hog back. (See AIN-50-21, 11.) May be
