The phosphatic steinkerns locally in small
cones at contact, or loose accumulation
with "funds" at contact. Also some
scattered in upper foot of massive.
Massive is not very fossiliferous, Venuella
Sphaeriole and Cyprina steinkerns + shells
common at top. Not much else, but the
jacketed cone zone in and adjacent to
which the most varied fauna occurs to E,
is not very well exposed. Impression
is that this good marine fauna in lower
beds is not present here or along the
bluff to N, CHECK BASE OF CLIFF from
gully to Ezenest; at N end cliffs
little or nothing. One freq. Spheno found
in phosphatic nodules.
"Bedded zone" distinct, contact with massive
sharp. Should be described in detail and
bedding structures recorded. Includes
shell zone above first study succession
as below Colgate?
Probably cut cross section much above
windmill, but may be able to offset
to N. in dozers and take on into Lince.
#3 - Hoodoo Ridge, loc. 105: Can get down into what Dobbin mapped
as Pierre on SW side spur that lies S of
main gulley draining this short ridge to W.
The phosphatic nodule layer in on top just
N. this gulley, is complete section of
massive and between 50+ 100 ft of
Tuzil City-like stuff beneath. Only fossils
seen were in upper Massive + include
Sphaerodiscus frags, Venuella (most common),
Protarvulie (2nd most common.) P. uelozczua
