upper half they are few
11) 5.9
chiefly vfq sznd, with much ob
stein and interbeds of db grey
fossil shale. In upper 2.0 crudely
grey-white wartz ss snd conc
messes. snd in interval vfq + silty,
(simple with lignitic layers from top this unit)
Lignitic zone at top seems fairly persistent here.
Interbedded clay shale + silty sznd - a good
brazed-bed unit, with interval 5.0 to 9.0 with
silt-sznd beds up to 0.7 snd below
thinner + shale predom. From 9.0-14.0
shale with sczt thin silts, then
about 3.5 with numerous silt, and
romzndor chiefly shale. A few sczt
comes in lower thick silt zone (total thsly
this unit)
12) 20.5
13) 9.0-?
Gross Roots
Sznd, vfq wartzus grey, loc with
OB stein snd numerous OB chips.
Crossbedded + leathery with some
c clay stringers + scattered fossils.
Concan, of fossils in channel base 5.0
from base. Preservation poor, some oysters -
whole & clouded.
To north along outcrop unit (12) changes, the
silt-sznd layers thicken at expense of shales
& it becomes difficult to separate thus
from overlying unit though it is still
shaliier. Here too the silt-sznd bed are
dominantly sznd snd wartzier, or tend to,
fluted. Even OB chips work down from above,
snd unit (13) difficult to separate from (12).
