Nearby King's bed 18 or in the base of bed 19 - red silicious slate siltstone - 10' + thick The lower part of King's section was much easier to follow than the upper part. This might be in part the result of the topography, for beds 14 and higher are exposed on the top of the escarpment. Now again, there seems to be a change in lithology at the internal of the Here fossil beds - just above & below - I have already tried to follow the route of the succeeding section; it is possible we missed it in the upper units. The fossil beds are partly porous and here and there not the respective cliff foundations to the west. Silicilites nearly make up alot of this interval above below the Nexe fossilized. 7/14/59 With Cooper, Grant, Shinner + Wilde, and Stebbi Collected from Here rock heart and from the word about 1 mile NWg Hill 5779 north Leonard Mt.
