"Medina occurs one foot of eraser, light-green sandstone that is once n less eros filled.
It is about 15 feet thick. Upwards it passes into 5 feet of thin redclad sandstones of the same character as below but with shale partings.
The sandstone at the contact is a dirty sandy mud with some pgsite. In a half inch it changes into a clearer sand and here the worm borings begin.
