[Wolf Camp Hills]
Section V West end of the WCHs proper - Measured N 200'
from outline
Below covered but wash - Uddenites zone probably.
1) LS, Conglo. w/ Crenoid + Brach frags., Conglo.
cobbles 1" to 4" diam. 16', gray outcrop -
top surface is near flat, has an such zone
weathered brown. Many of the crenoid items
are relatively unbroken and probably have
had a great deal of original transport.
2) Covered, 25' - seems to be an interval of gray shale
a & brown weathering calcarenite
3) Calcarenite - Brown weathering, lower surfaces
appear to be disintegrated. Its upper surfaces
are fairly cemented - 4" to 6" beds of SS.
with interbedded silts + clays. 5'
4) Shale, blue-gray in part covered 12'
5) LS, similar to # 1 below, pebbles are ½" in
diameter however; near top is a good fusulin
zone - This horizon divides vertically to the
west with upper part forming Kings lid "4" 16'
7/3/57/1
6) Covered, 163' - How many beds are covered
here is only guesswork - The value of this
interval is of comparative properties only.
7) LS, massive gray weathering, a shell hash
which shows very little transportation.
Coral, (long slender tetra corals), Bryozoa,
isolated fusulinids, brachiopods, crenoid items.
lower 18'massive - upper 5' in 6" to 1" beds.
7/3/57/3 total 23'
8) Covered, 21' - shale?
9) LS, blocky-yellow brown weathering, 6" to 1"
beds, 2½ to 3'? - Can't see any shell hash.
top is planar, but lacks crenellus upper
203'. Shell hash.
