Collection 6/28/57/4 from a crown bishermal
1s in the Uddemites zone. This is approximately
midway between the base of Pking's #2b
and the top of the Gaptank ls.
The Uddemites zone is badly eroded here.
This section is in line with the road down to
the Ranch House S65°E, I estimate
the thickness to be 85-95'- The
outcrop from which collection 6/28/57/6
is about 8'.
afternoon west side of Main Hill
The outward appearance of this is quite misleading.
The Gaptank ls forms an anticlinal
structure under the western bishermal of the
main #2 ledge. The Uddemites zone
and a part of the bishermal reef have
slipped down over the lower Uddemites
shale bedding planes. The mass
now rests in a structural valley of the
gaptank fm. The eastern side has
moved the furthest with about 175'/g
displacement; the western end is more
less hinged about a point.
Collection 6/28/57/7 - about 6'-below
top of Gaptank fm- east side geologists'
Canyon-
On the east side of geologists Canyon, the
"window" which C.O. pointed out on the
first day is most confusing. I have
some doubts as to whether it really is a
"window" structure. The gaptank does
show many folding at this locality and
it seems that the Uddemites zone is
missing and the #2ls of King rests
directly on Gaptank ls.
