1) Lower portion of hill is coarse cobbles of various limestone, in massive 5' beds, at least 275' of these.
2) Dolosandstone, many fusulines in a 35' interval, bedding and sorting good, but rather weak rock not well exposed. Collection 8/2/58/3 free specimens on slope and anthill.
3) Dolosandstone and calcarenites, in 3-4' beds, abundant small gravel of greenish to brownish chert, 45' +-.
PG. 110
4) Dolostone, fine, dark gray, brown weathering in 6" to 1' beds - 60'.
5) Limestone, medium-light gray, thin cap in top of hill, Collection 8/2/58/4 from anthill at top of upper limestone - 50 yards NW from highest point on ridge. 30' +_ . Contains a large slender fusuline - yes.
The lower conglomeratic unit is beautiful foreset on the north side of the Hess Horst. There the conglomerate bed strikes N80E the same as the overlying "sandy" dolostone limestone, but they dip about 30° to the NW, whereas the limestone above dips only 9° - These we have about 20° initial dip on these beds.
8/2/58/5 - shaly interval, free specimens on slope, 200 yards NE of saddle between 2 major hills in Hess Horst.
8/2/58/6 - a pebble from lower conglomerate about 70' above intrusive near saddle between 2 main ridges Hess Horst, west side of draw. Contains 2 types of well preserved Triticites.

Dugout Mt.
1/4 mile WSW of section 24 in the "Hess" ledge and the folded faulted belt rest on top of one another and the "Wolfcamp" interval is entirely missing or if present is represented by 5' or 6' of shale beds.
Collection 8/3/58/1 - fusulines from shale slope beneath folded "Gaptank" bed at the above locality. Primitive Triticites.
Loc. 63 Collection 8/3/58/2 - anthill in covered interval between east "Gaptank" bed and base of "Hess" ledge - This is 5-6', could be "Wolfcamp" (small Schwagerina or Paraschwagerina
14 Collection 8/3/58/3 - loose specimens at the base or a few feet up in "Hess" ledge all at the first locality (Large Schwagerina).
Several small faults can be seen cutting the "Hess" ledge in this 1/4 miles.
Loc. 85 Collection 8/4/58/4 - about 75 yards east of Collection 8/3/58/1 - this is from a tightly folded anticline - axis is N55E, NW limb 80° W dip, east limb is 90° to 120°. This collection.
