37) Calcarenite orange-brown upper surface, flat 1'.
38) Mostly covered 2, 4" calcarenite beds at 4' and 10' are exposed. 32'.
39) Calcaledite "rubble" black of gray limestone 6" diameter brown mottled
zones with crinoids and fusulines in them. Beds 1' to 3', occasional evidence of
the beds being well sorted and laminated at top - 2 observations.

40) Covered 11' probably less resistant limestone rubble.
41) like 39, 26'. The calcarenite making the top bed in this sequence is well
sorted and bedded, well cemented, flat top.
42) Covered 20'. <-- 40'?
43) Calcarudite, well cemented, yellow-brown, 1.5" diameter pebbles, becoming
fine grained in upper 3" flat upper surface. 3.5'.
44) 16', lenticular calcarenites. These are interbedded with shales, 50 yards to
west I could find only 3 or 4 relatively thin beds.

45) Covered 64'.
46) Gray shale, some interbedded orange and brown sandy siltstone. 53'
covered to a large extent.
47) "Hess" Conglomerate. 8', Calcarudite with a large number of dark chert and
quartzite pebbles - 4" to 5" diameter.

Collection 7/6/57/12 from a yellow weathering conglomerate about 6' below bed
47 - It seems to differ from bed 47 in yellow color and that's about all. 2-3'.
{note: illustration:
bed 46: 7/6/57/11; 7/6/57/12}
The zone of biohermal limestone, #23, seems to carry through pretty well. I
believe that #23, section VII, is equivalent to #15, section VI, and to #7, section
V.

Big Bend Park.
The first collection is from same horizon as is the John Wilson Eocene Dinosaur
exhibit just before reaching park RIQs. 7/7/57/1 (This is only a few 10's of feet
above the upper K contact).
