"Berkely is a very difficult area to record.
Difficult not because of the faultly and
thrusty ad folding, but all the more so because
the moments have continued all things Pleisto-
cene time of to now. During this time erosion
has cut out much and White mesa closed
tighter together.
Over a basal thrusting layer of cmyl. replite
with broken shells of Ostrac Titan. The fossils
ranged up to a fair miles across, all well arm-
ded, in masses of coarse sand. This layer was
hardly three feet thick, and the oysters did not oc-
cur hidden. Among how much they are restricted
to the shallower water of the shore. This layer lays
disconformally on the Oligocene.
Outside of the thrusting shells and of the
shores are dark fine to pulvisy muddy coarse
sandstone replite with mica. Coal mineral layers
are common. All in very shallow water de-
position.
