(p.8). Below this is dk gray finely silky shale
that grades to clzyeg silt - about 12 to 15', then
cone cone. with Timber Lake fossils found. This
is only place in the loczl area that beds found

fault with upthrow to west.
Base of zone of interbedded shale + s2nd with jzvosite.
(1) 10.0 Interbedded finely silky dk gray shale with
plant specks and irreg. lzycrs of rfq
s2nd (subgrywecbre) with jzvosite stain
in about lower 2'. Interbedding continues
upward with separation of lithologies
becoming more distinct upward; bznding
appears about 4 to 5' above base. Lower
4 to 5' weather to rounded popcorn surface
with jzvosite weath out at base in
small yellow chips.
Upper part alternating beds of
s2nd, Silty to sandy shale and hard light

plant frags. Ouzl soft lumps of
jzvositic s2nd between 4 and 9 ft
above base
At top is lzycr flst, r.b. weath.
