doc. 316 Typed from original by C. Ross in 2002+ FIELD NOTES BOOK 2 Marathon, Texas, 1957 p. 1-79 8/3/57 to 9/7/58 C.A. Ross Museum Peabody Yale University New Haven, Conn. PG. 1 8/3/57 Allison Ranch, 1.2 mile, south of Ranch House. The beds mapped as PWC? are most likely not Wolfcamp. [They are like beds found in the lower Hess in the section measured 1 mile (+/-) east of the Wolfcamp Hills; i.e. fine quartz sandstone of various light colors, here a little redder, mostly light yellows, and green; about 80' of these with siltstones and shales (?).] (in brackets ok). Above these are the limy silt and limy fine sandstone typical of this east Hess facies. I was unable to find the beds referred to by P.King as conglomerate intervals. The P.King map also shows the outcrops on the hill flank one further south than it really occurs. They occur where he says, pretty badly covered conglomerate also is present. PG. 2 Section 23 1/2 mile south Allison Ranch House. Base of section not exposed. dip 35°. N45W. 1) Calcarenite, dark orange-brown, quartz rich near top, Crinoid frags common 1'. Some wood frags.
