Lemert Hills near Sullivan Ranch Road.
P. King has mapped the Ness as
being faulted about 50 to 75' down to
NE unknown fault. I believe there are
several similar faults, parallel to the
main one. I will sample from the
section below the NE [illegible] not,
but I believe the Leonard is faulted below
the Ness at this point and the Leonard
clay of Leonard is caps it. G.A. Cooper
in The West Texas Perm. Guide Book
1957 mentions that it seems to be Leonard,
