bed 12: 10'; coarse calcarudite.} PG. 84 Walked beds eastward - (2 interval) - small fault with 20-30 horizontal displacement marked on map. Conglomerate (2 is circled here) cuts into the lower limestone beds in the section as it is traced eastward. Not much change in thickness but the lower limestone sequence is folded slightly beneath the conglomerate beds and suggest pre- conglomerate warying. The conglomerate beds thicken and thin nearly 8-50' and are resting on an erosion surface on the lower limestone. (2' to 3'). King's #5 conglomerate is probably a limestone - 5 conglomerates are apparent in the slope behind the first ones - The valley about 1/2 mile SE of Gaptank has about 220' of Hess facies - This is all cross bedded gray sandstone and siltstone (picture) beds are rather massive (5' +-) with interbedded red and gray shaly siltstone. Overlain by K. PG. 85 7/23/58 (bottom = Sect. 12) SW face Leonard Mt. Collection 7/23/58/1 is from small outcrop (rather local) about 40 yards WSW of collection 8/24/57/2 on SW side of Leonard Mt. Picture of section 35 - from locality 8/24/57/2. Collection 7/23/58/2 - east dipping limestone about 1/4 way up SW face Leonard Mt. - 50 yards down dip from up end of outcrop. (about same interval as 8/24/57/1). {note: illustration: Dip 24° S80°E 5' medium gray limestone 7/23/58/2; 1' 5' medium gray limestone 6" 5' medium gray limestone} PG. 86 The dolomite member on Leonard Mt. apparently is the same as the dolomite behind Hess Ranch. The Leonard Mt. section is repeated by a fault just west of 1st ridge, this fault apparently bends around the Hess Horst on the NW. 7/23/58/3 - Brach and Fusuline horizon, top of northern-eastern most knob on Leonard Mt. (upper 3' of knob). 7/23/58/4 - about 50' below (3) in saddle to south of knoll. 7/23/58/5 - Collection from upper portion of Gaptank beds SE face of Leonard Mt. - This is about 300 yards SW of section 36. June Phillips collected from lower portion of Section 36 (see page 65) Collection 7/23/58/6. 7/23/58/7 - (see page 65) upper portion of Gaptank SE flank Leonard Mt.
