Loc. 50
Southwest-facing scarp of butte-like
Toe of SE-trending spur (BM Church)
In center SW1/4, sec. 26, T. 20 N., R. 26 E,
Little Eagle NW Quad., Corson Co.
The locality includes adjoining
outcrops and float areas on
adjacent parts of spur. Exposures
extend from well down in Elk Butte
member through most of what is
generally called Trail City. Latter
excellently exposed, highly fossiliferous.
A small fault cuts off tip of spur
toe from rest of spur; toe is up-throwy.
Section 1. is of Fox Hills on bare SW
facing scarp of toe. Note (1) nearly
cyclothemic occurrence of banded
and massive rock; (2) absence of
a distinct peanut-brittle concretion
zone. (3) presence of a fairly
broad zone of Gervillia cones with
lowest having abundant Limopsis.
(4) presence of cones with large
Gervillia just below regular
G. cone, zone. (5) Large G locally
in all cone layers, even Protocardia.
(6) Odd-bell "nicolleti" cones. found in float
by Len. Have spinose forms which
heretofore found only in PB. - may be
upper mic. cones - but none in place
in this locality.
