Notes on Cloverly along Middle Fork Powder River
East of preceding sections.
Some relationship holds at Rusty-Cloverly
contact; i.e. in local low areas on top
of the "sparkly" SS, claysstone beds come
into the section between contact & the SS.
Laterally the Rusty beds rest directly on
the SS, or very close to it, and there is
a log conglomerate layer of polished
pebbles.
Because of apparent lack of continuous key
layers the relation of Rusty bed detailed
stratig. to the "highs" on the sparkly SS
were not determined.
At Loc. reached by taking first right from
end of pavement on Bernum road, going
about miles and walking W & NW along
top of "sparkly SS" ridge into sec. 33
T 43 N R 83 W - Rusty beds chiefly
on or very close to "sparkly" with
amazing local accumulations of
polished pebbles - either loose in silty
cstm beneath contact or incorp in top
layer of Fe impreg. SS at contact.
Locally a typical Rusty bed ironstone
sits directly on contact - though
elsewhere the first of these Fe-stones
