Sections to be measured and specific data needed at each.
From Lance Creek area E and N
#1 - Locality 101: First appreciable section of Fox Hills possible,
From base massive or, slightly below, to Lance.
KEY HORIZONS - zone of jacketed cones in lower massive
is 15' or more thick. A zone #2 probably have too.
The phosphatic module horizon not in here, tho
phosphatic nodules scattered in upper part massive.
Massive proper gives way to tabular X-12m
unit 4 to 10'; this can probably be traced into
Locality 100 - we carried it 1 mile E of N. prong
Crazy Woman Cr. and it began to thin and become
greenish. Large irreg. oval rb. weth cones
some with Venicells lie approx at change from
massive to tab, X-12m except to east where
tabo massive extends above this layer. Scattered
Venicells, the reddbrown cones, isolated "turds"
typify the massive in upper 5-10' whereas none
of these present in tabular which is typified by
X-lamination of debris streaks, clay blebs and
subangular fragments, flow structure, thin
shaly layers - none of which occur in massive
contact should be walked out to Loc. 100 to
see whether the tabular goes laterally into
the massive, or not.
Scattering of the "turds" and phosphatic
steinkerns in upper 5'+ of massive suggests
that the phosphatic layer at 100 and localities
to E + N may have been formed by the
winnowing of upper massive to form lay
concentrate.
The "bended beds" here are more steudy than
to E along 85 and consist of tab. X-12m ss,
thin bedded ss + minor sh, and numerous
slubby conc. layers. The latter show a fine
