Marathon, Texas
walked back eastward - (Oanture) - on all
gravel with 20-30 long(?) different
moderately mag
Conglomerate cuts into the lower beds in the
excavation it is faced eastward. Not much
change in thickness but the lower C. sequence
is folded slightly beneath the Conglomerate
beds and suggests pre-conglomerate warping.
The conglomerate was thicker, thin rapidly
8-50' and lies resting on an eroded
surface on the Lower K. (2'+3')
Kemp's 15 cores is probably a 6d - 5 Conglomerate
are apparent in the slope behind the first
one.
