146 7/31/51+8/1/57 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 2" are well cemented with SiO2. Coll. 7/31/51/9 at base Several beds of silicious s.f. sandstone or siltsh 10' E # 28.) Shale, (dark) gray brown- 3' Coll. 8/1/57/7 # 29.) Calcarente, orange-brown, organic frag., jute? possible oizes; crinoid stems, echinod spines. 6" # 30) Shale, mud gray brown. 2 1/2 # 31.) Like the beds in #27 - crevician? friable 6"-1' # 32.) Shale, dark gray 16' # 33.) Calcarente (with high % of clut pebbles too) groding upwards through calcarenite to quartz sandstone with iron oxide cement. weather - pale yellow brown to a deep orange brown at top. 1" thick part of Shale top. 1 1/2' 147 36.) Sandstone, weathers light tan to buff. grodes into a siltstone and then into a shale. The grater shale is dark gray. 9' # 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. 31 38.) Calcarente; dark gray (juted); weathers red and yellow brown. fully friable Collection 6/24/57/7 1/2' 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. 9 1/2' 39 40) Covered. 15' Coll. 8/1/57/5 from a poorly exposed bed in middle - like #40.
