and somewhat soft sandstone. This is the
basal member of the Cataract formation as
we saw yesterday but at Cataract it is 12
feet thick.
Over the sandstone the exposure is not
clearly shown but sufficiently once to make

limestones that on some horizons are refulete
with dolomite. By around the thickness is
