slight anticline flexture toward the east. (Check to see if Moore's dips are any
steepness).

The upper dolostones here are sacchoidal in weathered surface, the dolo rhombs
about medium size. Occasional molds of fusulinids or brachiopod but not
preserved well enough for identification. A few horizons seem silicified, but no
apparent fossils. The lower carbonate is now a dolomitic limestone with
considerable amounts of silt and clay. - This forms perhaps 600' at Brook's
Ranch.
Drove past Allison Ranch to outlier of K and walked over to the Haymond outcrop
past to the NE. Here the Haymond dips about 30° SW, Strike N40W, without
much apparent folding or faulting just nice even beds. These sandstones have
fucoidal and flow cast marks and much slump crinkles - quite a mess.
The "Hess" of King is very poorly exposed along the southern flank of the K
cuesta. I haven't walked it out because it doesn't seem to be worth it - it might
show a thinning or disappearance of the S.C. zone but the lack of control
eastward and westward doesn't make this significant.

9/5/58 - Moore Ranch
Haymond red hill - 1) dip 15° NW, strike N65E about 100 yards SE of water tank.
2) 75 yards south of tank - dip 65° NW, strike N40E. These beds then swing
around in an anticline whose other limb dips 18° SE strike N50E. It was on this
structure that the Alexander Syn. drilled their well. 3) Due east of tank 150
yards, dip 45° N, strike N65E. 4) 300 yards east of tank, source as (3). In
between the beds do a swirl, probably, tightly folded or faulted. 5) Lower
Gaptank 200 yards NE of tank, dip 50° N, strike N65E: a) Conglomerate - 10 -
top covered; b) limy, ss, with many fossils and shale largely covered. 90'; c)
limestone dark gray, crinoid cochinas, 20'. 6) 100 yards ENE of Tank, Haymond
dips N50°, Strike N80E.
The Haymond is a very evenly sorted quartz ss, with medium to fine laminated
beds, some cross beds and some slump structures. Weathered colors and red-
brown and gray.

Moore Ranch high pastures - (1) N85E, dip 12N.(2) due N14°,(3) K
[Cretaceous]- N at 3; (4) near fault. Strike N75°E, dip 18°, but changes back to
E+- strike and 9° N dip on each side.
