Edgemont area with Garland Gotl
(Thursday Aug. 4)
See Edgemont NE S.Dak. 71/2 sheet, for
localities noted below. (with packet of
maps on Inyan Kere study)
Fall River: Variable succession chiefly
because of local thick channel
ssnds in upper part. At Loc. A.
which is just of map, can see
upper FR ss., then dominantly
cleyey succession and another ss
just above creek. Cleyey beds include
a vericolored zone- chiefly red,
which is in semcapprox. position
in relation to upper FR ss as
that at Rapid City znd, possibly,
that in road cuts of Wyo III
across N. Beavlodges in Crook Co.
This zone should be fairly persrstant
if it is a good genetic change.
Worth checking its relative
position in Devils Tower area.
In Red Canyon Cr. cut an excellent
exposure of channel ss coming
in abruptly in upper part of
cleyey zone and truncating
the vericolored cleys. Cuts them
out abruptly to W. Garland
