Hillum beneath the base of the quarry. These make the
th of the Medina. These do not seem to
have a greater thickness of more than 10 feet other than
the section of the first quarry takes of ad goes down (Bullers)
To the south east of the mountain turn piles there
is another quarry. When the latter section may be seen in
one wall. There as in the other quarry the base is where
the dolomite begins all the Medina sandstone still efflores.
This face is about 32 feet high,
The Medina along the turn piles are not quite close
are those at the top of the first visited quarry. The
concretions layer is here, but low and dwindled, and
about eight feet beneath the gray stone in
seen the red soil of the first described section.
This for these latter beds that I spot my Medina
forms.
A little further down the road we see that the
dolomite series makes a precipitous cliff while the Medina
beneath makes a sloping surface.
The Medina red bed gneiss is about 1 to 6 feet thick
and about 8 feet beneath the dolomite.
Going down the hill to Ferryman Arc one sees that the
entire here side is of a red clay just like the old
Medina shale beds in the Mojave gyps. From the cliff
down of to the dolomite the elevation maybe 200 feet.
