Slightly clayey sand (which may be mixed with soil here) with concretions of Cucullaea AZ, richly fossiliferous. No exposure big enough for a section. Fossils in large red-brown weather cones and also in green-colored cones of blue ls with peculiar irregular + crusty surface, which appear to come foot or 2 below red ones (compare loc. 88) A 4679 - from single conc. A 4680 - from many concs Loc 283 - A TIL found; fragments weather out of highly clayey sand & sandy clay, below level of nearby butte by at least 40ft? Suspect it is beginning of BB lithofacies. Frags of Tancredia, Ostrea transluceida, + Protocrudia Small exposures along county road along line between sec.36 T16N, R22E and sec 1, T15N R22E, vicinity of stock dam on Stradinger farm.
