This is small charm in the
outlying buttes in the east side
of the wash South of the cliffs.

<<drawing of cliff - limestone overlying red shale>> 

It varies in thickness from 10
to 30 feet. Contains many
fossils. The upper portion is
a sandstone holding lamellibranch
shells.
X1 mile N.N.W. the limestone is
not over 1 foot thick but a
thick band of gypsiferous +
arenaceus shales replaces
it. Near the base a few
[[strikethrough]]l[[/strikethrough]] sandy layers 8 to 6 in thick
hold lamellibranch shells.

The fossils occur in the impure
limestone, sandstone, arenaceous
shale with gypsum, laminated
layers alternating of gypsum +
sand + argillaceous shale. [[Impure?]]
argillaceous limestone with
fossils replaced by gypsum.

A section on the west side of 
the Kanab wash taken from the
base of the Shinarump Conglomerate.
The upper surface of the shale 
was eroded prior to the deposition
of the overlaying conglomerate
as may be seen in most good
exposures of the line of contact
of the Conglomerate and shaly 
sandstone.
The entire section was 
carefully measured with
the exception of 75 feet of 
the lower red marl.
