Alpine, April 6 - 1936 Tuesday
Started at 8.10 for Baptank (300miles to Mara-
thon and tren 25.6 to the tank). I tried to collect
upon Baptank all the morning and got about 6 speci-
mens. Failed to find hidden good localities, see
opposite page.
Dellards, Baker and Blanchand started E. to
make out the structural relations between the Upper Sep-
tank and the Lower Baptank. The fossils collected
show the normal Lower Baptank fauna of that
Cenoman time. I had also seen Lower Baptank
and south where they worked but
to the east saw no fossils. After lunch we all
to the east
went at it again and came to the conclusion
that there is no break between the Lower and Upper
Baptank. As we walked farther east to shore,
the Paleyric strata go back into the Cmenachian.
The Upper and Lower Baptank strata, a padmed
and tucked,
and the rocks jumped somewhat or that at this
to me another normal
the rocks stand nearly at right angles. The folding
is therefor disturbed and thrown into a jumble. To me
it appeared to be a fault present only on the eastern
in the rally between the Up. and Low. Baptank.
and more thrust (to be clear) conditions. This star
sea in a little valley headed by a great yellow face
of Lower Baptank strata.
