Covered below 1) Dolostone, brown to gray-brown weathering, 1' to 2' ledges, chert pebble lenses ------- 48'. 2) Limestone, medium gray, 6" to 1' beds, fossil hash, many fusulinid- bearing calcarenites: Collection 2A-2A 24' up Collection 2A-2B 26' up Collection 2A-2C 31' up Collection 2A-2D 43' up Collection 2A-2E 48' up Collection 2A-2F 62' up (platy in upper 20') ------------- Total 67'. 3) Limestone, gray, 1-2' beds, abundant fusulinids, almost all fusulinid limestone in total - Collection 2A-3A 2' up - -----14'.

PG. 78 Sect. 2B - (on Fulk ranch here and higher) 4) Dolostone, gray-brown weathering, pitted surfaces (relic fusulinids), 1'-3' bed, a poorly silicified brachiopod bed about 25' up ------- Total 85'. 5) Dolostone, 1-3' beds, light gray in lower 200' becomes medium gray in upper part. ------- - est. 700'. PG. 79-82 Blank PG. 83 Salt River Section, Arizona Collection 0 to 3 are in first road above Molasses-Redwall road cut. Collect 4 is in second road 10' above Collection 3, but the structure is a bit odd, is several NW plunging folds, slightly faulted? so that Collection 4 may possibly be same as Collection 0 (doubtful) because of lithologic dissimilarities however? Collection 5 - Coral-Brach-Crinoid-Bry bioherm Prismopora and Fenestelloids. PG. 84 Blank PG. 85 Gap Tank area, Marathon/Glass Mountains, West Texas. Stop 1.
