on or close by to the Type section.
loc.1
6/25/57-2 - Collection on NE slope at top
of P.King Upper Gaptank unit.
loc.3
6/25/57-3 - 10' above collection 2 - box
8 just of brownish weathering nodular ls with
interbedded yellowish shale - beds above
are vandy (brownish-red)
loc.4
6/25/57-4 - about 80' above collection 3
In what we believed is P.King's #1 Gaptank
ls -- (this maybe his #2 ls below) This is #2!
light gray to white ls, with occasional
light yellow patches.
loc.6
6/25/57-5 - near top of P.King's #3 ls-
in one of many gray ls Shell channels?
This slope has some loose fragments
out which are included in collection

#4 Gaptank ls. -- in a brown + gray
weathering ls.

6/25/57-7 - Collection taken at base
of what we believed is P.King's #5 Gaptank
ls. -
Drove C.O.Dunbar to Monahans to get Santa Fe
for Dallas.
C.O.D. seemed pretty convinced that the Gaptank
is Canyon in age and not River. Suggested
that Uddenthal might be Cisco equivalent
and he said yes that was what the Jurassic
pockets - to. He didn't know whether
the #2 ls of King's might not also be
Cisco also. The problem of the
conglomerate pebbles in collection came
up again. This is a good point -
Ref. to Australia paper might be
good here.
C.O. Wants more collections from
the upper Gaptank type locality,
also a close study of the Wolfcamp and
Udendental zone in that region.
