The circulation Leonard Mt. apparently
with the same as the formation below? Need
Beach.
The Leonard Mt. section is
correlated by a fault just west of 1st Sidgey.
This fault apparently bounds the New West
on the NW.
7/23/58/3 - Beach + Jurassic horizons, top
of northernmost knob on Leonard Mts.
(Upper 3' of Knob)
7/23/58/4 - about 50' to Cn (3) in saddle
to S of beach
[see p.65]
7/23/58/5 - Collection from upper portion Gaptank
Side SE facing Leonard Mt. - This is about
30 yards SW of section 36.
Jim Phillips collected from lower portion
of section 36 (see page 45). Collecting 7/23/58/6
7/23/58/7 - (see page 65) upper portion of
gaptank SE flank Leonard Mt.

loc. 0317
The folded & faulted rocks at the base of the
SE facing Leonard Mt have this sequence
roughly:
240' orange-brown, gritty sandstone
with interbedded light gray shale
at least 100' total
dark brown to black chert, 3" to 6" beds
with thin shale interbeds.
60-70'
light gray siltstone 6" to 2" with
thin clayey partings. Calcite veinlets
apparently - limestone chert bands near top
50m of beds 100' or more
Using these beds have fossils, except
for locality at 8/24/57/2 (and 7/23/58/1). This
one locality has a thin 2' foot zone with Jurassic
and marine fauna and is only found at this
one locality. This overlies the upper unit
shown above, but has about 10' of similar
course brown sandstone above, but perhaps
folded.
The circulation of the lower unit is
similar to the 'Bolonian just south of
Marathon, the chert is similar in color
to the Maravillas, but the upper orange-
brown interbeds similar to some
beds on the eastern side of Leonard
Mtn. as seen in the "Jawors"
