6 to 8 ft throught crop between AIN-50-21,9,
and 13, but only exposed at intervals.
To north of 9 it is thinner, to south of
13 it contains increasing#silty, ferruginous
layers, the latter but no good exposures
as it is covered.
Kessler
1st Glencairn sandstone shows unusual
variation. In N½ of hogback it is
thinbedded and grossly crossbedded, featuring
rapid lateral changes with channels coming
in and out. These include 2 shaly
and/or silty lenses (both in at AIN-50-19,17)
near northend hogback, presence of which
probably responsible for swale at 17
thru weakening of ridge crest. From
just south of Alameda highway to
AIN-50-21,2, it is crest forming sandstone
south of AIN-50-21,2, it lies mostly
below the crest and SS above 1st
Glencairn clay carries crest; exception
between 4 and 6 of AIN-50-21.
Van Bippule
1st Glencairn shale.- horizon can be
identified along most of hogback
by bentonite-like layer near base
and relative -stratigraphic position.
"Bentonite" locally flinty to study, but
persistent. In some places, especially
in south end, the lower split of
this bed is present and it not always
possible to distinguish between the
two. At no place is this clay of
meetable thickness - or even as much as
4' thick.
Shales above 1st Glencairn.- Some of the thin
clays above main bed locally present.
These are separated from mid-Dzhata
