This is a series of light green thin folded sandstones and sandy shales with but a single layer holding payments of Linguhella. Then another fault gone followed by the Tetrapodites shales, with a thickness of probably at once than 35-feet. There are also standing at a high angle and much crumpled and altered so that the parts appear only in places. At the very base are some [illegible] [D6085]
