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.

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.

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.

16) Shale - silty, light gray - 12' grades upwards into bed 17.
