bed 3: 8/28/58/2; 120'. Limestone conglo. near top. Limestone light gray, second chert, 2'-6' beds forms large portion of dip slope, fossiliferous in part. bed 4: 70'. Siltstone, some ss., orange weathering, siliceous bands. bed 5: 45'. Limestone light gray, 4'-6' beds, chert pebbles. bed 6: 30'. Siltstones, and chert - orange to red-brown. Cherts are replaced by limestone bed 7: Thin bedded limestone} Either of these 2 siltstone intervals could be called typical Leonard. The upper 2 limestone can be shown to pinch out into siltstone near the stream divide between Hess and Iron Mt. Ranch. (Picture) 8/28/58/1 - upper part of first limestone that caps ridge - "Bench Mark limestone" - Big Schw. 8/28/58/2 - in Mid of Dolomite Mbr. at head of Canyon just west of Main NE treading ridge. PG. 149 Brooks Ranch Collection 8/28/58/3 - S. crassitectoria zone above section 10. Collection 8/28/58/4 - Trit. zone at top of section 11, bed 19-20. This limestone seems to be a remnant and is cut out west and east ward except at a couple of places on Brooks Ranch. The upper beds of Sec. 11 from about bed 12 on up to 22 seem to be higher than the major portion of the ledge forming limestone 6-12. Another patch of this higher limestone is found behind the Brooks Ranch house. This ledge former seems to have a gentle syncline in it at the Ranch House over which the Conglomerate has truncated and eroded its surface. The Sec. 11 is apparently a hill with conglomerate around the sides. PG. 150 8/31/58 Brook Ranch 8/31/58/1 - bed 1 of Sect. 10 (29) about 1/2 mile east of where section was measured above Keyte Blanchard and Baldwin's Uddenites locality - Bed 1 of Sect. 10 (29) is gradually truncated to the east. In Sec. 13a (31a) this interval is formed by beds 1-3 or the rubbly stuff just below these beds, and = Sect. 11 (30), bed 1 and below. Sect. 14 (32), bed 3-6, = Sect. 15 (34), bed 12- 14. Bed 1 of Sect. 10 (29) is double limestone unit separated by a marl zone. Both limestone are generally massive, but the higher one usually covers the lower one. Sect. 10 continued - from Bk1, p. 80-84. 15) " badly covered - Total - 127'. 16) Shale - silty, light gray - 12' grades upwards into bed 17. 17) Limestone, light ray, silty an clay - 3'.
