Cataract. Whirlpool sandstone 12/4
Bassel limestone 8 4
Lower grey shale 48 4
Upper red .. 22
Total Cataract 90 pts.
On the bottom layer of what here Medina
Isaur dolomite pebbles and the Medina-
Cataract bivalves. The same bivalves occur
immediately
in the shale below and in the sandy red
layers that at time are distinctly intrafor-
motinal conglomeratic. Three foot thick Medina
Zinzula Moya
give good bivalve clots, and 18 inch beds,
these the same bivalves occur plus a
vast abundance of dolomite pebbles, and
fragments of L. Moya. There is now no doubt
that here is no break between the Medina
and Cataract. The story well section
proves this.
