1/2 continue - large Schism. 8/3/58/5 - due S., Section 24 in folded and faulted belt. This is from an ant hill 50 yds southy road at cresty Hill. 1k + 2k pect of Sect 24 A large fold line at base, Sect 24 has its axis N65° E & dips 90°, West but is 60-80° W. N see p.22 - I doubt very much if the rept collections are from the same sequence as the inducted sections. These broken seem to form beds in the folded + faulted portion and are there for older than the "Worceup" superimpose a "Worceup" sequence. 8/3/58/5 - from "Haymond" of King below 1½ W. & gap S. of Summit Dugout Mt. This is on an ant hill about 30 yds E. of the junction of two major washes. Seems to contain Fusulina 1/3 8/3/58/6 - float from shale intervals above binder just below 1st W. & gap S. of cresty Dugout Mt. 8/3/58/7 - fire broken (in place?) at least from the root, beds seem to be shattered - These are probably faulted/folded prior to "Worceup" time. Probably not - has 2 outlets. Berlem - has several corals, and at least one ammonite. 8/2/58/8 - 2nd Berlem - smaller but commonly vertical - corals & a few brachyzoa. 8/3/58/9 - Needles Payne Wells about ½ mile N.E. of Spot King has several ammonoid beds - This is "faylock" a 1st is a black grey to black lst & black threaded shale - The general impression I get in the field from just looking at the junctions and the lithology, is that they go as rocks are of period in the eastern most outcrops around the 2nd cret. of Dugout Mts.
