beds is a zone of contorted blocks of
"Colgate" in clayey silt, and is a
bedding texture not a recent slump,
the small pinnacle of bedded beds out
from the Colgate-Hell Creek scarp
has this layer as a "corerock". Even
concentrationary blocks in it show rolling
of laminae. This flow-zone is present
throughout the limited area where the
bedded-bed-Colgate contact is exposed
at this locality. Underlying bedded
beds locally rumpled and scooped out,
Although no other Bullhead member
exposures measured to date in this area
it is obvious from outcrops N. of Hump
Creek & E of So Dr Rt 65, that this
section has less of the member than
normally present. This may be due to
fact that Colgate locally thick here
whereas to N. Colgate thin. The
"flow zone" being present with thick
Colgate may be significant,
