Section 19 cont.
Wolfcamp Hills - Continuation of Section VII.
48) Shale, very silty, grades into a 6" sandy siltstone. Light yellow-brown
weathering. 3'.
49) Conglomerate, fine sandy matrix, poorly cemented, 1/2" diameter pebbles -
a few 2 to 4" bands of greenish-gray siltstones. 6'. Collection 7/9/57/2.
50) Conglomerate, 3" to 4" cobbles at base of a subunit. The subunits grades
into a ledge forming (indurated) fine sandstone. 3 or 4 such subunits observed.
Top of each subunit is rather planar. Coarse conglomerate rest right on top of
this planar surface. 14'.
51) Shale and siltstone, gray to yellow-brown, 5'.
52) Sandstone, yellow-gray weathering, in 4" to 10" beds with 2" silt partings.
16'.

53) like #50, 0.5" to 1" pebbles, 5'. This grades laterally into 6' of gray and
yellow shale and siltstone. Collection 7/9/57/1.
54) Sandstone and conglomerate 3" to 3' lenticular beds. Conglomerate 2"
diameter max. Sand is mostly calcarenite, 10'.
55) Covered 6' - mostly gray to greenish gray siltstone.
56) A multicyclic (?) unit like #50, 3" cobbles 1' to 1.5' per subunit. 9',
calcarenite sandstone a very fine to fine size.
57) Sandstone - very silty, and very fine sand size greenish-yellow-brown
weathering, 3' rudite ledge 1/2" to 1" pebbles, 4.5'.
58) Calcaredite and calcarenite - 4" to 6" split parting 2' gray to slightly yellow-
grey weathering.
59) 57' covered.

60) Metamorphozed limestone, and some baked shale 5'.
