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
