AiP notes Willow (r. to fault, (BOV 35-65 [cont)
and 35-67. Also resumed clays of area.
6. See below 7 this page
7. Old stone quarry in SS above main clay bed. The
double Deltaic clay exposed here, beds silty
not as thick as to south (±4'). Section
can be had here from base SS above
main bed (see 6.) to Greencros formation.
Sandstone, while rel. thick, does not
exclude upper
clay beds as at Helmer mine.
The bed over main bed is cut out here.
[This bed is our furnishing most clay at Helmer
mine.]
6. Outcrop of ripple-marked sandstone and
bentonite-like clay at base of main bed.
The SS over this clay lies unconform-
ably about 18 inches above this.
Therefore between (2) and this locality the
sandstone thickness appreciably, cutting
out the ridges and part of
main bed. This
condition appears to persist to faulted
end of hogback on Indian Creek altho
it cannot be proven that clay exposed
in position of main bed is actually
the main bed as it lacks the
basal bentonite, chances are it
is the lower split of main bed.
8. Evidence of red + white clay here
between 3rd SS & Lytle. Somewhere
between Willow Creek section and
