Northeastern Carlile Quad. with Max Bergendahl and
Bob Davis.
Fall River - here consistently 3 sandstone
units with dk gray shale interval
between #1 and #2, ascending. #1 is
thin bedded chiefly, rarely becomes
massive. Distance above contact with
Fuson-Lzkote series. Shale between it
and #2 dk gray with selenite. No
obvious thin SS beds + Max didn't
mention any. #2 is the most
prominent, most consistently massive
tho it may have thin-bedded parts.
Max pointed out calcaceous, round,
concretions in it, formed by CaCO3
impreg. in spherical form. Also
some thin lenses CaCO3 sandstone
in base,-convex downward where I
saw them. Max has found no cgl
in the Fall River, consistently #
fine-grained, commonly micaceous.
#3 sand separated by only a
few feet sandy shale from #2,
is more commonly thin bedded but
locally it too gets massive - may
locally coalesce with #2. Top
seems consistently platy. Overlain
by good Skull Creek Sh.
