August? The lower complex order must be beautifully printed on the West side of the Hess Forest. There the large led strikes N80E the same as the overlying "vandy" dolost ls, but they dip about 30° to the NW whereas the ls above dips only 7°. There are also about 20° initial dips on these beds. 21 8/2/58/5 - shaley interval, few specimens on slope, 208 yards NW of saddle between 2 major clefts in Hess Forest. 8/2/58/4 - a jibble from lower angles about 70' above the main saddle between 2 major ridges (Hess Forest) which is clean.
