LOCALITY banded beds 105: NW trending short ridge cut off from main mass of Ant Hills by gulley (Owl Hoot Gulch), lies in SE¼ SE¼, sec. 29, T.37 N., R. 63 W. Massive for most part though the banded comes in at north end of ridge with good exposures of the phosphetic nodule layer. Good section lower Tril City-like beds on W side at SW face NW spur between Hoodoo saddle and next saddle to N. Fossils rare, chiefly in uppermost part where Veniella is common. saddle thick section of beds below massive saddle LOCALITY 106: Fox Hills ridge W. of U.S.85 and just S. of the Redbird turnoff. Here the banded beds appear to rest on the 2nd conc. layer - at least there is no accumulation of phosphetic nodules and the jacked cones are unusually high in the section relative to the banded. Fossils occur throughout most of the massive. Sphenodiscus fragments found, also specimen of the fat, ribbed sphenodiscid. 49
