(12) Wolfcamp Hills - east end.
6/26/57-
Studied the "Dolomite" sequence at east end
of the hills. The easternmost ridge is
conglomeratic ls, the dolomite if present is
limited to one or two narrow bands. The
ls is a more or less typical biotermal
deposit; very large amounts of crinoidal
debris and fractured shells, a few
echinoid spines. Foraminifera are few
and are rather coarse even in what
appears to be pockets.
Collection 6/26/57-1 - is from a smooth
weathering lsband about 8" thick within the
upper 2' feet of the massive face forming
ls. This is over lain by about 2'
of unevenly bedded ls and dolomite. The
dip of the massives and the unevenly bedded
layers is S70E.
Much of the slope to the SE of this
narrow ridge appears to be rotated and
sheared. The bedding planes are off set,

This collection (2) is from the 2nd ls highland
from the eastern end of the Hills. The pocket
from which these foraminifera came is
rather thin but of considerable horizontal
extent. The stratigraphic interval between
142 appears to be only about 12' above
collection 6/26/57-1, but the relationships
are obscured by discontinuous bedding
and rubble of these 2 biotermal masses.
6/26/57/3 - From the highest portion of the
2nd biozone on the east end of the Wolfcamp Hills.
This collection is about 13' to 15' feet
stratigraphically higher than (2).
