100 [illegible] be equal to the #3 beds of section 14. The junctions may tell us the answers, but if the middle of section 13b is the Udderites zone what happens to the gap tank 15 between section 11 and section 13?; as what I've been calling gap tank in the western part of the Brooks Ranch really looks "2-15 mbr. in the w.c.H.s? You know, Charlie this could be confusing! Another question is what is the red-brown or interval which sometimes places seems to separate the massive Wescogey Limestone (king #2?) and the "New" complex mate (which as often not a calcareous at its base). I suggest the upper dolostone in section 11 is equivalent to the Congo. 7/13/57 - went to El Paso to meet John Pope (Nava's '54) (Mich. 56-115) (Cinci currently) and his wife. Charles Harden & Pete Roux left on the 12th for Austin, they were instructors at U.T. field camp, Leary's Ranch. 32 101 7/16/57 3& Section 15a - 3/8 mile NE of road into central valley on Brooks Ranch. (0° dip N 60w) gap tank? 1) LS, dark lime-gray, very fine X-talline, junctions, some beds gray to gray tan. This effort was one of several small isolated rubble heaps out from foot of cliff. This pile of LS is not bedded, but appears to be more or less in place. If the junctions are gap tanks in age then I believe it is safe to consider this out crop in place. More than 5' Collections 7/16/57/1 [Leonard Sch. excavations] 1-64 CR 2) Covered 83' 3) Shales, light gray (in part covered), 7 or 8-2"-6" sand and silty sand (quartz)-bands scattered in upper half unit; 28' 7/16/57/2 4) Sandstone, Orange brown weathering, mixed quartz sand, with select fragments of pebble (1/4th?)
