(30) 8/13/57 Wolfcamp Hills, SW end, New form section 8/13/57/1; bed #3 of these in King's Section 23. oll. 8/13/57/2 - in bed 4 of King's sect 23, these oll. 8/13/57/3 - about 20' higher than 8/13/57/1 in bed #3. oll. 8/13/57/4 - from New Camps outcrop; King's section 23 These an fairly high in the flex but seem to represent the coarsest occurrence of these facies. The coal 8/13/57/4 seems to contain both reworked older grainlines and these finelines in the sand size matrix. (31) Two Forest Oil Co. geologists out of Medallion, Mr. Dollinger (Dy) and Mr. Harding, who are under Mr. Wayne Moore, came to study the oil possibilities in the Mount Walker Ranches. They jumped me for information quicker I'm afraid I have relatively little at this time. They said that Mr. Moore had agreed to allow me on his ranch and that they believed they could get logs and samples from a number of wells to the N. I said I would contact them later. This year after talking to C.O.D about the subsurface angle. Their interest here is a 2-year affair so they may have some pretty seriously thoughts toward a study. Their primary objective seems to be: 1) Stratigraphic placement of or erosion truncation of any camps; 2) Finding some type of Bee Box structure beneath it all. They had hopes of some stratigraphic cut wells but not for some time yet. They hope that if the low box can be worked out, the first step toward understanding the Late Penn will be made.
