extend for about 2 miles, according to Keilts inter-
pretation the total thickness of the limestones are not
much more than 300 feet. To me the thickness seemed
great.
The limestones are from pure white to more
less banded, and very granitic. These gradually give
way to dark blue impure limestones, and finally then
is again pure white limestones. Every now and then
there are thin zones of dolomite, from a few inches to
about two feet.
The limestones show much flow structure, and
this is best seen about the dolomite layers. The
dolomite does not flow so readily as the limestone
but breaks up in pieces and it is around there that
the limestone flows. All manner of li. are much
jumbled around and about, and all is recrystallized.
It in steepness of the layer forms and seemingly
only the faster formed that still show traces of
themselves.
