Locality 96.
Frogmen Ranch Fault Scarp, west facing
bended-bed & Colgate bluff lying east of
Red Coat Creek in E 1/2 , sec. 4, T. 10 N.,
R. 19 E., Ziebach Co., So. Dzk.
Scarp shows two massive sands in Colgate,
but no top to Colgate. No bottom to section
as fault intervenes between concretional
layer (3?) with T.L. fauna and bended lithology;
Section 1, taken at southern-most bluff starts in
lower part of bended beds. (N 80-85° E, 42° NE)
wash fret
① 9.0 "Bended beds" chiefly grey silty clays and silt
with relatively few silts-tone bends,
bending not prominent. Weather to hard
checked surface on silty clays; indents
or flints on silts.
② 5.0 As above with slightly more distinct
bending. At top are some more darkly
weathered layers, some OB chip layers
and just above silt layer with local
flint, grey to RB weather cones scattered
in it.
③ 12.8 Except locally this interval is a zone
of mixing & contortion with scattered
cone masses av. about 1.0 in diam.
Top few feet locally shows bending
but contortion runs thru entire
interval plus some adjacent locally.
④ 4.0 Faintly bended silty clay with jarosite
imprdg. Silt zone (persistent) at base
(about 0.3') ; upper 1.0-1.5 is chiefly
a fissile to blocky grey shale, with
jarosite imprdg silt at top (also persistent)
Local cones in this top layer.
