Dakota-Morrison Field Conference #1, July 30.
With Mudge, Vanhorn, Scott & McDowell,
Visited Boxelder, Bellevue, Spring Canyon,
Carter Lake, Lyons, Fourmile Creek,
Eldorado Springs, and Plainview section.
General agreement that so-called Dakota
beds below disconformity more closely
related to Morrison in genesis, that
disconf. mappable contact. Also that
Lytle beds, in spite of variation from
place to place can probably be mapped
as a unit. Unit could be(1)member
of Morrison (2) separate formation,
Lower K?
Base of Lytle -
Boxelder - Mudge would put it base massive
white ss and not include
red clstn + white ss between
it and green shale
Bellevue - All agree on base massive cql/SS,
Spring Canyon - " " " " " "
Carter Lake - " " " " " "
Eldorado Spgs- " " " " " "
At all but last locality no red
or maroon beds beneath cql.
Plainview - Van Horn - base 1st massive SS
Mudge self - base 2nd(cqite)SS
All inclined to agree that cql
bed west end cut is Morrison.
