This unusual feature for base "Colgate" - See sample collection. Collection #1 from all along base of Colgate channel in the amphitheatre. Top of amphitheatre. For complete section of sandstone see section #3, taken farther south about 100yds. in same lens. This is only prominent "Colgate" lens visible in this part of the bedlznds. At section 3, unit (4) is incised into top of sandstone, locally cutting progressively deeper northward. To west on face of bluff opposite section 3, "Colgate" lithology entirely cut out by channeling and clyzs deposited which seem to grade up into Hell Creek. Hell Creek contact not sharp and in some bluffs position of first lignite varies. Clyzs above "Colgate" not as distinctly banded as those below but still some bending as in section 2.
