34) Limestone and shale, siliceous, w/ chert nodules .-----25'
35) Dolostone, brown-gray, pitted --------- 250' est.
Word 2A limestone, Coll. 4 --25' up.
Word 2B limestone (Coll.)-------50' up.
The following (2C and 2D) are 10-15' above the top of the second
limestone and separated from it by siliceous shale and sandstone.
Word 2C limestone (Coll.) - 65' up (top).
Word 2D limestone-about same horizon as Coll. from Word 2C.
Word 2D is from saddle.
Word 2E - 25' above 2D; 35' below first massive limestone in Third[?]
Word limestone.
PG. 47
Word third limestone A - 5' up.
Word third limestone B - 8' up.
Word third limestone C - 18' up.
-----35' total thickness of limestone.
Dolomite - 12' to top of ridge
Word first limestone - Collection 4-Word 1a, 20' below top of King's unit "a"
The Word limestone contain a lot of conglomeratic stuff at this place - most
pebbles and cobbles of limestone probably intraformational in part, and fine chert
pebbles - Where we saw the formation, the basal limestone (#1a is very little
different from #1b although King's separation isn't too bad. The distance
between #1 and #2 is closer to 83' than 14' and I think these members are
reversed on King's 1930 page 143. The distance between #2 and #3 is a little
high - unit 6 becomes limestone and unit 5 has fossiliferous limestone tongues in
it. [This area is near the Wordian shelf break and thicknesses and facies change
abruptly, so if we were offset a bit from King's line of section these differences
would be understandable.]

7/21/59 Southside of Leonard Mtn.
The southside of Leonard Mtn. is complicated by:
a) facies change
b) irregular dolomitization of beds
c) several faults
I have perhaps drawn the top of the Lenox Hills Fm. a little high but we'll let is
stand for the moment - [Changes on] the Lenox Hills Fm is thin here as if on an
eroded pre-Leonardian anticline.
Jail Canyon where road ends on map -
1) No Altuda shale on SW end of Hill 5789 - This is King's Capitan, upper
member -
