13) Sandstone, light brown silicified crinoid stems and brachiopods well sorted,
fine grained - grade vertically into calcarenite. Collection 2-13A - 32'. 105' top
of ridge to saddle -
thickness of unit--158'.
PG. 5
14) Dolostone - brown-gray, porous, sacchoidal, weathers to pitted surface - 3 to
6' beds - 10'.
15) Limestone, light gray, 6" to 2' beds - little in the way of shales or siltstone.
2-15A - 42' up
2-15B - 65' up
Several different limestones in this unit - all are very fine sand size or lutites
limestone. The more rubbly beds are white, sand size and are brown-gray. 4 or
5 alteration of grain size. -
total for unit -
- 205'
16) Limestone, orange-brown weathering, [relict outlines of fusulinids (abundant)
5' at base]. Like 15 below.
Collection 2-16A - 53'.
[at 65' a mottle quartz ss. bed with shell fragments]
[ at 97' - silty bed 1', brown-orange, brachiopods].
Collection 2-16B -at 185'.--- total for unit --197'.
PG. 6
17) Sandstone, orange-brown weathering very silty, calcareous cement - 3" to 1'
beds. at 30' a shell hash - recrystallized, no fusulinids, but has crinoid columns.
--------------42'.
[base of Leonard Facies?]
18) Limestone, gray-brown weathering, 1' to 3' beds, pock marked, silt and fine
calcarenite for most part. [22' recrystallized fusulinids abundant] [ 154' and 3'
conglomerate bed, including quartz, quartzite, chalcedony pebbles to 1.5""
diameter].---157'
[West?] Afternoon looked at the rest of the Leonard fm., lower part of Word fm.
There isn't much difference between the Hess facies and these upper units this
far east [west?]. King's Sect. about 2 miles east is supposed to be quite
markedly different in the 2 facies of the Leonard fm, but can't say that is true
here.

[From the top of these hills one can see beds in the Leonard fm thicken and thin
within short distances. The units of brown-gray dolomite limestone may change
