from 120' to 0' thick in 300 yards. Thus there seem to be few "key horizons" in
this interval - We have 3 or 4 chert pebble conglomerate zones near the top of
the Leonard, a couple of conglomerates in the Hess facies - and that is about all.
Even these are probably not of to great a regional significance as they are mostly
3 to 6" conglomerate lenses (near the top of the fm), and the ones lower are
calcirudites with locally derived pebbles and cobbles of limestone.
