with shale chobs at the top,
about 15 feet thick. A. harlani en-

lower. Much sun-cracking at least in the
upper 2 feet.
Then come dark ledged sandstone, with
less dominant shale partings, the sandstone

A. archimedes. These beds are all mottled
with green solution or alteration spots.
About 15 feet.
Grey Band grit over 4 feet thick.
Therefore the Medina is at least 50
feet thick. These thicknesses are estimates.
Look at contact. In the large quarry
