Resume -
(1) Fauna of bezel gray clayey sand (= Irish
Creek lithofacies) in unit 7 - could be a
lateral equiv. of the Idoncervs biotfacies
of the Morceau, or it may be the
equiv. of Mecta-Telling of the thick
west-Morceau marine section.
To get confirmation of latter would
need to find lower fauna that could
be related to Idoncerva. Worth a check
N along Fivestee Cr.
(2) Note 3 phases TL sand.
A Unit (2) Massive marine
B Units 3+4 Massive-Trevedia-Ostrea-Ophiowork
C Unit (5) Bedded "" -Ophio.
Note also B phase some is "Colgate" in butte Loc. 274!
(3) Note Thick interbedding of SS with
banded beds - this could easily be
"upper Colgate" or transition laterally
into it.
