Shale - 20' ls. - 2' Coll. 5-6s. Shale - 20' -> ls. - base 3rd Word ls. - Type Paraj. sheldaeckii Coll. 5-7A 3' -> Shale - 121 -> Aphelozyne - 2'x at base next ls. - end gray 3rd Words - no fulcoid - 65' The first Word ls is thinning to the NW mainly at the top of interlengy with silicious shale - The ls just below looks 2? are fine grain luttus, and a few 6" limestone are rare (2003) between 2nd & Word and 3rd ls. Coger pointed out a high Leonard ls, locality just NW the road up Leichland Canyon at the rough Word for. It seems that Cogers "Hess Ledge" can be traced around the end of the ridge behind the Hess ranch house and behind the front to a point opposite the gap between the cicles in the forest. He doesnt find this fama on the front of the ls. escapement to the south (Hess escapement) because in his words "it isnt the right Lithology" Thus he would rule out the idea that like fama occurs in several horizons. Wilde is using the 1st Leonard ls. & Key as equal to the Hess fossil bed. - This seems to solve a few problems - but I wonder how many? The section we measured in the Word seems to best fit in with Key's Sect. 18, p. 70, but this on dipositional strike 2 1/2 miles to the NE.
