15) Calcarenite, like #12, but conglomerate pebbles larger, 4.5', becomes better
sorted (Collection 7/31/57/3) and finer in upper 4" to 5" flat to surface.
16) Covered 11', probably mostly gray shale.
PG. 144
17) Calcarenite, yellow-brown weathering, because well cemented and with
siliceous pebbles in upper 5", 1.5', Collection 7/31/57/4 from #17 and loose stuff,
probably from shale just above and just below #17.
18) Shale, gray to gray-brown, slightly silty 12'.
19) Calcarenite, yellow-brown weathering; lower 8" are pebbly conglomerate a
1/2" shale break and the upper 4" to 5" are well sorted, evenly laminated quartz
sand and calcite sand, fine size. Flat top with an Fe3+ oxide zone of very fine
sand sizes. 1'.
20) Shale, brown-gray, 28'. Near top Collection 7/31/57/7. Near base Collection
7/31/57/8.
21) Covered, probably like #20, may have several calcarenite (gray), beds. 26'.
22) Limestone medium gray, with a large % (25-30%) Cobble conglomerate.
This might be best called a conglomerate with limestone cement locally. Beds
are 2.5' to 5' thick; 18'. Collection 7/31/57/5.
PG. 145
23) Covered 5', less resistant zone of limestone rubble? or finer sand?
24) Limestone, massive, locally conglomerate (quartzite, limestone and chert)
medium gray weathering (see 6/24/57/2); upper 3"-4" bed is fine grained, flat
topped. 25' Biohermal "Hess limestone" of King. Collection 7/31/57/10..
25) Limestone, rubble, some conglomerate cobbles - lenses of 6" to 3' beds -
contains biohermal junk crinoids, bryozoans, large fusulines, brach. Collection
7/31/57/6, 3'-5'. This unit thickens to about 8' to the SW just above the Kinkajew
dens - (about 200').
Section 20 continued about 200' to SW above Kinkajew dens - followed at top of
bed #24.
25b) Sandstones, light brown-gray grading up into a conglomerate and organic
frag. hash. Has a well defined planar top with Iron stains and cement.
Tetracorals common, also Productid shell frags.; 8'.
PG. 146
7/31/57 & 8/1/57
26) Covered, 15', one 8" bed of siliceous pebble conglomerate exposed in
middle of unit, rest is probably gray shale (?) .
27) A series of orange-brown weathering, fine pebble conglomerate, from
unsorted at base to well sorted at top, with flat upper surfaces - upper 2" are well
cemented with SiO2. Collection 7/31/57/9 at base. Several beds of siliceous
very fine sandstone or siltstone, 10'.
28) Shale, dark gray-brown, 3'. Collection 8/1/57/7.
