LOC-30-C - Could probably get a detailed section here with a little digging. Sphenodiscus found in place in top concretion layer (D) which supports many spurs in this general area. Use this section to correct the composite for locality 30. Long spur E. of Localities 30, A, B, C. Road which takes off to SE from S.D. 63 just opposite gate to O'Leary ranch follows along this spur. Exposures are poor throughout; where much bedrock exposed it is full of slumps of all sizes. No chance for sections, though on one part it was possible to handlevel interval between 1296 Sphenodiscus concretions and the yellow-jacketed P. linguiformis ones above. It was 16'. This interval included some of the very fossiliferous small grey cones but not precisely in piece. Fossils on the entire spur are relatively poor picking. Note: In Rt. 63-Moreau area beds from big Sphenodiscus cones to yellow-ried P. linguiformis carry most of marble fauna of Fox Hills. 34
