Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday March 25-1922 At 9.30 called on Mr. Dr. C. Bean of the Empire Co., and was with him until 1.45. Called on him again at 3.15. Talked over underground geology of the Bend series, and as to the Cretaceous overlaps. and manure The Bend Arch is most decided in the San Saba outcrops and then plunges and flattens out to the north. Or the south outcrop the Bend has a thickness of about 600 feet of which about 400 is Limestone, on a line to the north, Fort Worth the thick- ess is about 1600 feet, the greater portion of which is Rock Shale though in most wells the limestone is present in the lower part of the series. The limestone is not persistent to the south seeming only like shale towards the east. Or the north end then sandstones are added showing land to the E or N.E.
