ENNING - STONEVILLE AREA with Pethyjohn.
Divisions of Fox Hills
Lower part, below coals, interbedded, loc.
bedded f.g. sand + sh. + sandy sh. some
x-bedding. He has beculite - prob. clinolobatus
50' from his basal contact & we found
crushed large-ribbed form prob. grandis
below this. Pethyjohn puts contact at point
where grdztrznzl sequence becomes
predominantly sand.
Coal beds - a thin bedded sequence that
seems to be related to lower FH, rather
than beds above.
Upper part - locally white uncemented
ss with wraith pyrite bells and CaCO3
indurated ledges over lies coal.
Also locally there is unit of pink +
rzvricolored shale with ss ledges
underlying White River sand apparently
overlying coal horizon.
Problem is relation of the "colored beds"
to the sand overlying coal. Possibilities
1. SS and colored beds facies same units
SEE p. 37 -->
1A Upper Fox Hills
1B Post Cretaceous
2. Colored facies pre-White River wraith. Fox Hills.
(Agnew)
3. Colored facies different + younger unit
than ss, and cut into it. (Pethyjohn)
