The fossils are thrown together, as where drifted.
The real loess, yellow (upper part) is sandier, and has few fossils. 
As a matter of fact the change upward is not unlike that which we see along the Missouri, - but of course there is no stratified layer below in our Missouri deposits.
[[underlined]] Took photos [[/underlined] as follows:
[[underlined]] Photo 29x [[/underlined]] - looking north at (d)-The hills rise much above the cuts, and in all probability the loess runs up in blanket fashion.

At exposure [[underlined]] g [[/underlined]] took:
[[underlined]] Photo 6 [[/underlined] - 22 - 1/5+
[[underlined]] Photo 1 [[/underlined]]  - 32 - 1/5 - 1/2.
Here the lower, stratified layers rise higher (hill cut back farther?), and show horizontal position beautifully. This is near the house at end of long bank.
I found some shells (mostly broken), also in the silty darker layers of this exposure. They are scattered, few, and all broken, either by rough handling when laid down, or by the subsequent cracking of the material, which becomes hard, and checks, on exposure to drying.
[[underlined]] Exposure [[/underlined]] (h) shows stratification of silt and loessy stuff below, and yellow loess above, as in breaking sections.
