8/26/57/10 - near top of King Marine
es. unit at east end of Need Horst.
This bed is equivalent stratigraphically to
bed 7 of section 396.
In the middle of this Horst there is a graben
elonged (// NE-SW) and sect 396 was measured
up the section in the graben, King measured
his section E of the graben and apparently
based the waycamp line to the west on the
lithology change on this part of the glass cliff.
8/27/57/ - Need Canyon.
- The fault at the east side of the Horst continues to
the S and a little W) and probably causes the structural
control on a valley there. It is probably this fault
or the homocline monocline fracture resulting
from this fault that covered the west end of
the waycamp line at the WCHs to a place
under the alluvium.
The 2 main ridges of the Horst seem to be
separated by a fault although this may be
an optical illusion on any part. The western
hill is covered with King's Lime and has
more conglomerate apparently than the eastern hill.
There however is what I take to be the top of
the waycamp line, a considerable thickness of
limestone and shales? (covered elsewhere) and
at this "monoclastic internal line" appears to
the west along the western hill.
The system of faults related to the intrusion
seems to be quite complex. The intrusion in
Need Canyon is connected by sills, dikes and
linearly scattered igneous bodies to the Iron
Mt. Intrusion. One system of faults parallels
this trend; igneous intrusions and the other
