The Leonard facies in the Denver hills
consists of a series of ls tongues which
tend to become thinner to the S.W. and
break up into a number of thin units
by additional shale tongues. The
structural problems are big especially
in the area south of Sullivan Pass,
between Durgout Mts. and the Altada
Ridge. Of course it is all covered but
there is still a real problem to figure out.
Kings map is wonderful, but he isnt
very consistent about his boundary
between the Word and Capitan - his
Leonard + Word also have problems -
the carbonate sed which he places
in the Leonard in the west is about
the right height for his 1st Wnd
limestone in the east. I.E. It
seems the Word Leonard boundary
is also inconsistent.
The base of the Wnd in the west
seems to be about the 3rd ls. of the
central Mts. In Section 12 his
unit is greatly thinned and
may represent the key between
the Lockney facies to the east and the bas
to the west.
