(2) 12.7
silty clay shale
toshize
Interbedded clay, siltstone, and
subgraywacke sand; with scattered
ovoid masses jerositic sand up to
4" diam. Beds up to 4'' ± with
a few SS beds 6 to 8". The clay
clayey silt is characterized by black - possibly
fecal? structure, and has abundant plant
fragrs. Sand layers have numerous
flat-oval, chlc, cemented, rb worth
concs showing lamination. Sand beds
commonly laminated. Few sparse shell frags.
Weathered surface distinctly banded
grey, brownish grey and light grey (clay → sand)
This unit carried to pervasive concretions
cone layer and is not a lith unit in self,
Sample 2 - rep. lith, basal 2'
Sample 3 - rep. lith upper 2'
Sample 4 - jerositic sand blobs + rep. small
concs (most larger than there)
(3) 7.8
As in (2) to 6-10" sand layer with
large (1-2') flat-irreg oval chlc cem. cones
lam. SS, worth rb on top, blocky fracture.
(4) 14.2
Chiefly as in (2) with some increase in
number of sand layers. Shell chips and
a few otoliths in float on surface, also
small cephalopods and stone plate frags.
zummonite shell - all float.
A661
Sample 5, Shell frags in clay + silt lower
4' + otoliths from float.
[Cross-lamination throught units above
and probably considerable X-bedding
the not much evidence on these
crops]
