26.) Covered, 15', one 8" bed of silicious pebble
conglomerated in middle of unit, rest is probably
gray shale(?).
27) A series of orange brown weathering, friable
congo, grmmenustrated at base to well sorted
mass at top, with flat upper surface - upper

# 28.) Shale, (dark) gray brown- 3' Coll. 8/1/57/7
# 29.) Calcarente, orange-brown, organic frag., jute?
possible oizes; crinoid stems, echinod spines.

# 32.) Shale, dark gray 16'
# 33.) Calcarente (with high % of clut pebbles too)
groding upwards through calcarenite to
quartz sandstone with iron oxide cement.

top. 1" thick part of Shale top. 1 1/2'

36.) Sandstone, weathers light tan to buff.
grodes into a siltstone and then into
a shale. The grater shale is dark gray.

# 28) Covered 12', probably mostly dark gray shale
# 29.) Shale, dark gray; and siltstone, weathers
light yellow brown. These two lithologies
grode both and forth horizontally as well
as vertically 16' Coll. 8/1/57/6.

red and yellow brown. fully friable

Surface silicification of fossils; also the
upper surface is flat, well sorted, laminar
fine calcarenite with siliceous zones.
38 39.) Siltstone, light yellow-brown weathering;
with lenses of calcaronte siltier well
sorted but not laminated.

Coll. 8/1/57/5 from a poorly exposed
bed in middle - like #40.
