At this time I'm not too sure of the data, but
the deal about shifting and cooling reefs
maybe a partial answer to the big picture.
Perhaps in well logs we could get the needed
3D perspective on the facies shifts.
After briefly looking at the lower Nexas, I
wonder at what silt, sandstones, and
cemented siltstones, with a few interbedded ls.
might mean with relation to the
cyclic Wolfcamp and the circular and
peculiar Uddendites zone.
The [illegible] phasing of the bivalve growth
in the Wolfcamp must have had other
types of deposits elsewhere - could they
not be represented in either the Uddendites
facies (no because of fossils?) or the lower
Nexas (which is not well known faunaally).
The Nexas section I saw in the afternoon
needs to be restudied in greater detail.
The massive cliff former on the Hill is
probably all Nexas, but King reports some
Wolfcamp and so the face of the hill needs
to be studied.
Section 23
6/28/57 23 Near Centring WCHs -
Section III in line N30W of Taylor (Neal) Ranch
1.) Upper Gaptank ls - same unit as 3 in Section II.
Here it is less massive, about 8' feet, with
the middle modular zone of unit 3 in Section II
thickening up to at least 10', about 12' more
is covered and it looks as if the lower
massive zone of unit 3 such that it is either missing
one modular line. The upper 2 to 3'
is a nodular ls, in 6 to 8" layers - becomes sandy
