like those of 731p. These are full of fusulinids.

Coming down the slope from top we were impressed by the fact that the flattish slabs of Word #3 are mainly confined to the upper slopes and no yellow shale shows. Where the slopes flatten the yellow shale appears but virtually no drift from Word #3 appears. It is unlikely that we picked up any contamination from above.

Contamination may come from limey lenses just above Road Canyon but these have mostly Road Canyon types. At the end of the outcrop the upper Road Canyon is sparsely fossiliferous and is somewhat suggestive of higher Word.

Perrinites is on the slope just west of 721j.

The lower slopes above the Road Canyon at and around 721j are covered wholly by shale. No float from the top appears. It seems improbable that any Word # has been picked up as Road Canyon.
