umber, I believe was an alluvium. I think
that there were two reef heads which
filled the area between them by debris
from central beds. The nearly
flat upper surface with 2 or 3 foot
or more beds extending many the
whole length of the section would
further suggest this. The collection
of specimens (7/5/57/10) I believe indicate
slightly less turbid water (deeper?) giving
these smaller smaller shell frags a
chance to accumulate in well folded
strata.
Pictures 4 & 5 of the area of the smaller
gap tank and also of the slumped
#2 gaps.
Pictures 6 & 7 are of the lower part of
the section we found in the fields
project.

7/5/57 Sect. 21
Section VI - about halfway between section IV & V.
1) LS, gray, massive in 3 to 5' beds, conglomeratic
on the upper surface, but only slightly. Base of
unit not observed.
2) Covered 6' - stream bed.
3) LS, yellow-brown weathering, organic frag (crinoid,
furculinae), muddy quartz sand on upper surface,
well rounded, but not frosted, 2', upper surf
as flat. 7/5/57/1
4) Covered 16' - probably a shale cutival
with at least one perhaps one nodular ls
rubble beds.
5) LS, yellow-brown weathering, gray frag,
organic frag (furculinae, crinoid), replace
quartz in geodes, quartz sand upper surface.
The quartz sand seems to have been washed
across the ls and some quartz stuck to the
ls surface - furculinae are bedded in
this 5s layer. 1'
