Dry Creek enters in a little further down stream, see Bostrop Quadrangle. (one half mile) This Sandra call this loc one-half mile above the mouth of Dry Creek and 3 1/2 to 4 miles down-stream from Deerfield, Colorado River. At me the Venericardia bella bed is a "dark gray sandy Clay", and at me this "a quite similar bed characterized by the great abundance of the coral Flatellum conideum Daughan." Here Sandra has 6 Trams, 1 Coral, at least - pelecypods, and 16 gastropods. "The Midway Silery contact probably occurs near telur" means down-stream. So my fossils come from distant Midway.
