Limited exposure with Elk Butte- Trail City contact, some fossiliferous Dinic zone concs, and a cup of Gervillia concs. Loc. 56 St Patrick Butte area. A large area of exposures in a SW-facing scarp and gulley heads and divides occupying much of sections 26 and 28, T. 15 N., R. 21 E. On scarp and upper divides are local bedlands in the upper banded beds of the Fox Hills. In gulley heads and courses are shaly sands with concretions layers which carry the upper Fox Hills fauna, Numerous sub-localities probable here so no further details at this point. Note that between Greengrass Butte and this locality the banded beds must make their appearance. Check them here for glauconite zone or zones - about only tie-in possible with the Greengrass section. 57
