[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.

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'
