17) Calcarente, yellow-brown weathering, becomes well cemented and with delicious pebbles in upper 5"; 1/2', Coll. 7/31/57/4 from #17 and loose stuff, probably from whole just above and just below #17. 18) Shale, gray to gray-brown, slightly silty 12' 19) Calcarente, yellow-brown weathering; lower 8" are pebbly congo. a 1/2" shale breaks at the upper 4"-5" are well-sorted, evenly laminated quartz sand + calcite sand, fine size. flat top with an Florida type g.l.f. sand size. 1' 20) Shale, brown-gray, 28' near top Coll. 7/31/57/7 near base Coll. 7/31/57/18 21) Covered, probably like #20, may have several calcarente (gray) beds. 26' 22) LS, gray, with a large % (25-30%) cobble congo. This might be best called a congo with ls cement locally. Beds are 2 1/2 to 5' thick; 18'; Coll. 7/31/57/5 23) Covered 5', less resistant zone of silicified fine sand? 24) LS, massive, locally congo (quartz A clut) med gray weathering (see 6/24/57/2); upper 3"-4" beds in fine-grained, flat topped. 25' biocermal "less ls" of King Coll. 7/31/57/10 25) LS, subtle, some congo cobbles - lenses of 6" to 3' beds - contains biocermal gut trussides, bryozoans, large fusulines, brach. Coll. 7/31/57/6; 3-5'; This unit thicken to about 8' to the SW just above the Kintayaw dense - (about 200') Section 20 continued about 200' to SW above Kintayaw dense - followed at top of #24 25) Sandstone, light-brown-gray grading up into a complete organic frag. hash. Has a well defined planar top with iron stains + cement. Ietrocoals common; also produced shell frags.; 8'
