(16) 27) Calcaremite, like #25; 2' Coll. 8/6/57/5 28) Calcaremites like #25 and interbedded now sandstones like #24. 5/ls + 5 ss. total 8' Brown silicified band at top is common. 29) Covered 14' 30) ls, light gray weathering; 1"-3" clear quartzite and chert pebbles. 20' 1st Leonard ls. See P.Kinze correlation charts. Coll. 8/6/57/6 - I think this float is coming from about the middle of this covered interval, but I can't be sure. The NE end ridge of Dugout Mt. is a maze of little faults and darn peculiar. The tank at the top of the gap are on Wolfcamp Conglo. The conglo here is thin but thicken SW & NE; Could this be a hill in the Gaptank formation? The other explanation is the Conglo Continued here (Wolf- camp) pass into the calcaremit zone of the Nees (Leonard?). (17) I don't believe that structure, folding + faulting, can by itself explain the variation of the 2nd strata. The changes in lithology are great enough so other parts of this interval to expect something like this as possible. Aerial photos would be a great help! (See p109) 8/7/57-- The two maps, P.Kinze & GusideBook don't agree. I think Kinze -- probably there are not, the other is non-polluted sketch plate map. I think I need aerial photographs to do much more work than (Byrdathan) of significance. 24 28 21 26 25 Nex 1st calcamite Wolfcamp units Gaptank fine Wolfcamp Conglo.
