Sect. 3
Dugout Mt. Section 27, 1/4-1/3 miles SW of section 26;
1) Gaptank, orange-brown sandstones, angular unconformity.
2) Covered - 4'.
3) Sandstone, light tan to light gray, medium to coarse quartz sand (worm
burrows, plant stem imprint, some calcite grains and cement; a few granules -
and a few fusulines, 6" to 1' beds - 18'. 8/9/57/2.
4) Conglomerate, mostly very small pebbles; some upper 1.5" diameter; large %
of sands, light color; most of the pebbles are dark brown chert; 8'.
5) Like #3, but with a few bands (6" to 1') of conglomerate like #4; both lithology
are lenticular, 10'; laminar flat brown top !
6) Sandstone, mottle lt. green and light orange-brown, irregular bedding, very
silty; 8'.

Collection 8/9/57/3 - a biohermal limestone, orange-brown weathering; 1/4 mile
SW of section 27. This is in the middle of a gray shale interval. I believe the
limestone to be in place.
PG. 22
There is another limestone similar to this one, about 40' higher; This could be
slump from that.
Collection 8/9/57/4 - From near the middle of the Wolfcamp in the stream gully
which forms the 1st wind gap SW of the peak. It is from the higher interval,
equivalent to the 2nd biohermal limestone. The entire Wolfcamp here seems to
have alterations of brown-orange sandstone and gray shales.
There is just some question where the Wolfcamp and Gaptank should be split.
The Gaptank forms an anticline beneath the ridge at this point; the beds I've
called Wolfcamp may be the evenly dipping beds of this Gaptank anticline. It
