On Moral Creek on the Buda limestone
the Eagle Ford laminated fine sand shale, partly
then limestone, and limy sandstone. The whole is
upfold sharp at not far. Many of the paper
tray layers are replete with (ganoid) scales, long
and slender teeth and occasional fish bones. Other
layers are crowded with small Ostrea like
Oysters, while one of the thicker sandstones has
small and large fragments of Inoceramus
latistatus (is conjugated). It is an unmistakable
Colorado assemblage. Whitney and Brinton both
dog out a single species fades from the Brushita
into the Colorado. The disconformity therepre
creates considerable if a time break. The actual
contact here is covered over by Talus.
The presence of sand and heterotus indicate
shallow water, and in higher comminuted fish matter
also shows orare orrall. Probably the deposits re-
present a depth of around 50 feet; saw no building
up of the bottom, nor channeling.
