Weaver Gulch, section of upper beds in old road cut, N.side gap. N 21 W, 35° E AIN 49-08 (15) A 10.0 Greenos transition beds, platy to flazgy siltstone and fine ss with shaly siltstone partings. (probably a few feet missing.) B 0.6) Sandstone, massive bed fine gr ss. C 0.2 Shzly sandstone, plant fragments D 6.5 Sandstone, massive x bold, chiefly fine gr, but upper surface chert pebble cal. ss. E 0.5 Silty sandstone, thin platy beds and thin bed.ss. F 1.2 Sandstone as in D. G 0.2 Silty zone H 0.7) Sandstone, small lense calc ss, chert pebbles. I 1.4 Shale, gray, plastic finely silty with thin interlammac silt. J 6.2 Siltstone, massive beds up to 2.0 thick, most .4± and zones softer argillaceous siltstone. K 1.6 ? Sandstone - fine gr, massive, hard ledge - difficult to tell thickness because of slumping on shale below. Note 7.5' slumping zone from base J. At least 1.5 of SS K., then basal 1.5 ft of this is L L 1.5 Gray silty shale with .5 shaly siltstone at base. Above on slope K is 5½ taking up all but L of slump. 7.
