162 Sept. 4, 1958 The dingle in the Nealkand hills dips about 80° N., but at the eastern end where the highway passes through it looks as if the darn thing is an overturned anticline because you can trace the folds around from one limb to the other. There is a system to NW Trending faults which begins near this place and continues into the next little dingle hill to the east. Then the beds are faulted and folded in a beautiful chevron pattern. The Dingle St. in this area contains a lot of mega Caballox clast fragments. It is subdivided in bands and weather to various shades of brown. It has few cobb but not apparent fossils. Some of the deep black clast (or one) reminiscent of the Jemez. 34 also p. 99 of book 1 Sect. 14 b - 1/4 mile west to Sect. 14, measured up a set of 3 massive ts at the entrance to the canyon near Brooks Ranch House.
