Standing on the top of this hill one sees the Oaklta dipping to the east. Looking to the next ridge south one sees the Benton shale present with a dip of about 10° or so dipping either to the south or south west. There is therefore between the so-called Oaklta and Benton a decided unconformity. The shale here in the Oaklta is also present on Freeze Out Mt. Elsewhere in this region the Oaklta seems to be gone away down to the lower SS. The shale is generally cut off away.
