17) Mostly covered, limestone rubble, purples, grays, yellow-browns - 5" to 8"
beds. 28'.
7/11/57/7.
18) Calcarudite, cobbles 6" to 10" diameter; mostly limestone cobbles, but a few
large chert cobbles and quartzite also. In 3' to 6' beds - cement in limestone
weathers yellowish. 45' to top of ridge.

Collection 7/11/57/8 from the zone of #8 and #9 units in section 11. The
limestone have changed to calcarudites and appear much thinner. They seem to
thin rather than being entirely truncated at section 13. This collection is from a
saddle on the northwest side of the Ridge Section 13 is on.
Collection 7/11/57/9 from Gaptank limestone, dark gray (upper most Gaptank
limestone) 2 bags, one of softer interbeds, one of dark limestone. The stream
gully on Brooks ranch 1 mile west of Ranch House.
Remark - It certainly isn't like P. King mapped it.

Section 31 see King's Sect 27.
7/12/57
Section 13b - Below unit 1 of Section 13, there is an exposure of gray-brown
shales and orange sandstones. Whether this is a zone in the gaptank or the
illusive Uddenites zone is the major concern. The field evidence to date would
suggest to me it is a zone in the Gaptank - (These are vertical distances, dip 10°
to the north.)
1) Limestone, dark gray, organic fragmental, mostly brachiopods and crinoids -
25'.
2) Covered 20'.
3) Limestone, yellow weathering, dark gray fresh surface, organic fragmental -
see collection 7/12/57/2, 1'.
4) Covered 12'.
5) Limestone, black to dark gray, organic hash, 1.5'.
6) Covered - 28' probably mostly of #5 lithology.
PG. 94
7) Sandstone, light orange-brown weathering, much quartz; cross bedding, sizes
not well sorted, probably fluvitih deposition. This unit appears to be truncated to
the west by unit #8. 21'; in 6" to 3' beds.
8) Limestone, dark gray, organic fragmental very uneven lower bedding plans, 3'
to 5' of relief cut into truncated edges of #7. 11'.
