18 The formation of Reef 1 precedes that of Rey 2 and the debris from reef one sloped toward the SE. The relations are not completely clear but the debris from Rey 2 appears to rest on the truncated edges of reef one debris, suggesting that Rey one had a great extent to the NE but was removed before Rey 2 came into existence. 1.) Covered 27' probably soft ls. 13.) LS, gray weathering, a bidimensional hash. #210? 17', in 4 to 5 massive beds - 14.) LS, nodular, gray, weathers to white dark 5 to 25' 15) Calcareous, yellow weathering - Caps (14) but intertongues with at NW SE 16) LS. yellow-buff weathering - 20 ft. collection 6/26/57/4 site from this interval - - Top of Ridge - 24 Section 24 Section II about 200 yds SW of section I 1.) Shale, dark brown, bottom of cutwall not seen, top not seen, estimate 100-125' feet thick. Collection 6/27/57/10 [Gaptank shale is considerably thicker here than at type?] 2) LS, dark gray, rubble at base 8', Massive ls ridge 3' (Collection - 6/27/57/7) at 33' above base of 1st ledge - collection 6/27/57/8 this unit becomes progressively more shaley in the upper part. Total thickness of this unit is 44' 3) LS, gray, brownish yellow weathering - indistinct nodular bedding in lower 8' foot of this unit. collection 6/27/57/9 at base - 33' massive ls with one 2' band of modular ls about midway in unit - Total thickness 41' The upper part weathers gray on top.
