6) LS, gray massive, 44" crinoid fragments,
brachiopod shells.
7) "Hess Congs. about 10' above this
last unit (6). This is on a dip slope
so it is difficult to set the interval
between the top of (5) & the "Hess" congls, but
it < within the 10'
Along the front of the central segment
of the Brooks Ranch wolfcamp ridge
most of the draws are the result of
erosion on the zone of weakness caused
by faulting. These faults have
throws of 10'-50'. The LS ridges
back of the ridge have several zones
of slickensides which I interpret
as movement on bedding planes as
the wolfcamp ls was deched during
Late(?) Marathon basin movement.
Probably post K although I have no
direct evidence for the time of movement..
The faulting perpendicular to strike
cuts the Hess & Leonard so that it
aids in draw forming here also. The
remnants of K caps are apparently
protected by differential movement on
Sect. 14

These faults and can be explained in
this manner.
The evidence in section 13 suggests that
the Goptank & the wolfcamp, limestones
either converged and form a combined
mass of LS, or that the wolfcamp is
locking. The study of sect. 14
indicates this is not to be taken at
first meets the eye. I believe,
based only on lithology, that unit 3
of section 14 is the same unit as
#1g section 13a. The #1"c ledge
section 14 are probably the same as
bed ?% 13b. The #8 ledge of 13b may
