Weathers lighter gray than underlying EK Bulte sh.
Has no obvious primary structure. Brown stain on
irreg. fract. surfaces and some jerosite blotches.
In upper 2.0 ± scattered ls. cones with thick
calc. siltstone jackets which weather light gray
and have thin gyp and black? rind. Some
barren, some with Di niccolleti.
(Conc. A collected in place)
5 16.0 Silt, clayey, weathers light yellowish gray,
similar to unit (4) except for preponderance
of silt mixed with lesser amts of very fine
grained SS and dk gray silty clay. Base at
5" bed v.fq. silty SS. Lacks jerosite blotches,
some yellowish brown to O-B stain. Upper 5.0'
becomes crudely bedded. Top arbitrarily
taken at base of thin layer (local) well-
bedded gray clay and buff vfq sand.
7.0 from top ± few scattered ls. cones
with silty jackets containing large
Gervilliz and some Limopsis "peanut brittle"
Layer of scattered Gervilliz (small) cones
begins 4.0 from top and extends into
lower 2.0 of overlying unit (6).
6 8.0 Clay, silty and sandy predominates in
lower 4.5, with some jerosite blotching
near top. Remainder of interval mixed
fine-grained SS, silt and silty clay, the
