8/24/57
8/24/57/1 - So side Leonard Mt., 100-120'
[illegible] in a probable
tern block. The kids are digging to 2 at a
12'-15' - [gap tank in place] see 7/23/58/2
The low-hills So of Leonard Mt are folded and
faulted rocks of the lithology of the 'Dugout
Mt.' series. There are orange-brown sandstone,
dark-calcified limestone (chalk?) and
'marl' (very possibly some sandy clayey zones)
Coll 8/24/57/2 was from one of the precipice
'marl' (2 bags). The formation looks like
upper Weyco or Hex cree. This could be
a Leonard block or a fault-block.
See aerial photos and coming here
property. [Fuslinnsy, Desnoires Ag]
I possibly don't know what formation the
calcified darks represents; it is like
those beds Crosby Brooks showed me
at the SW corner of W partower.
I know the rocks are badly faulted
+ folded and are part of the large
thrust sheet picture.

The Lower Conglomerate contains rocks
of the lithology which are underlying the
area - So of Leonard Mt. The upper
Conglomerate is a calcareite and seems
to represent erasing post cover Congo-
limestones. Here the history seems
to be: 1) Thrusting + folding, lifting
area above sea; 2) erosion and
deposition of Chert+marlstone (etc.)
Conglomerate; 3) [illegible] mean folding
and uplift, this seems to be after a
period of quiet times, deposition of ls
and early sandstones (see Coll. 8/24/57/1)
4) depositing Calcareite
5) Gradual Subsidence as indicated
by Hex-Lennard beds upward.
