Packages of rocks become thinner + less blocky; also more shale coming in at upper soft. See Leverson + Gerh (1972 Iowa Acad. Sci, Fig. 2) - we agree with graphic sect. for Dubuque here (at loc. 10). We 1st visited this locality then loc. 9. Leverson, GerB + Broadhead loc. 10. > gate was locked, but CR walking down road to [illegible] X 3 1/2 miles S+ 5/4 mile E of Decorah. Single lane bridge crosses stream N on S side of road + east side of creeks). 12" shaly bed is well seen at both 9+10 and [illegible] to 12' below Dubuque-Magnolia contact.
