The Kxss didn't recognize the complicated structure of the gap area. I believe there "#143" unitank is on the same bed, faulted into 2 portions. The N75-90°W faults do this and the N-E faults tend to make the units appear thicker than they are normally. I conclude that eastern most "upper" Wolfcamp contains Tenney (Haymond) & Dimple. The Dimple in very dark is, the Tenney Haymond are quartzites. The massive is out of the wolfcamp - seems to grade laterally into bed 3, section 17, but faulting may make the picture more complicated. This is look like the only answer to the grouping of just even to place these "upper" Wolfcamp beds in Section 17. The conglomerate would suggest it should fall & called here, but the catalogues similar to the upper Wolfcamp. The fossils suggest an association that seems related to the Widowmaker - level. Of those beds are [illegible] slightly more coarse than the upper Wolfcamp. we are about 12 miles away & - There is no typical couple of the Kxss before we get into the salty portions. We ride here. Problems! It will pay to investigate the outcrops in the canyon south by the Allen- Panch. The "wolfcamp" may be shoved there, but I really wonder!
