The Nuevo separated in Page Swires' area is
a dark fited dolostone, schistoid spines
and some productive cracks are silicified
prior to dolomitization, but nearly all other
possible have been dolomitized and either
completely lost or lack any structures; just
outlines. In the Van Horn sects there is
about 600-900 ft of Nuevo - about 40-50'
of Paw Paw Congl and transition zone.
It is similar to the basal conglomerate
of the Wapca p and contains siltstones
and sandstones possibly the equivalent
to the clastics zone, but not the same
series.) In James Underwood's area
the Nuevo - about 600-700' in
the eastern locality (7/25/57/1) and
perhaps thicker in the NE locality
(7/25/57/2 + 7/25/57/3). These last
2 localities are near the base of the
base of the unit but the exact longer
was not determined. There is some
structure complications in this area
and so more detailed work is need.
The presence of siltstones & shales and
sandstones in the first locality suggest
the lower Vs a lower Vs are deep seated
dep basin dep as to like the middle Vs

but rather are near the margin of the
basin, probably the SE side. I've
promised Jim to let him know what
juelines are from the 273rd locality.
I judged a measured section in this
larger region came to promise little
in the way of juelines. See:
