6) Covered - 9', probably gray shale and
a few brown vitstone bands-
7) LS, brown weathering, bedding 6", uneven
surfaces, Cracid, fractured and a few
fucolines. Collection 6/27/57/10 24-7
8')
8) Covered - 12' probably line nodulars
in a clay or silt, some brown color -
9) LS, gray, massive
a) fucolines and brush cocking in a
6" band at base, Collection 6/27/57/11
(same horizon as 6/24/57/6)
b) Massive LS ridges 4 to 6' thick.
These form the dp slope and seem to
be about 10' below what I believe is
P. King's LS # 2 bed.
12' thick (?)

In the afternoon 6/27/56, I drove NW
from the Wolfcamp hills to a tank (about
1.5 miles). From there I walked slight
west-northwest to the low outciers of the
"Wolfcamp" Series as mapped by P. King,
just below his "New Ledge". I found silt
and sandstones with even bedding.
These are exposed in a gully... They
would suggest that the so called "New Lead"
at Wolfcamp Hills is only a local bed or lens.
The sandstones are med. laminates -
1/8 to 1/16" and have abundant tube (or
focal castings) of worms - one I
measured was 5" long, 1/4 in diameter
and near straight -
- About 2' above this silt/sandstone
sequence - the rubbly party the LS.
I made Collection 6/27/57/12.
It looks like what C.O.D. said Schenckully
Keigi would look.
- 4' above collection 6/27/57/12, I found a
brown shale - it had a few streaks
of red-brown at the top and some gray in
patches - Collect 6/27/57/13 from shale.
